Climate-driven changes in forest succession and the influence of management on forest carbon dynamics in the Puget Lowlands of Washington State, USA

•We simulated the effects of projected climate and management on forest carbon.•Climate under high emissions caused a decline in the size of the carbon sink.•Thinning and burning treatments increased the carbon sequestration rate.•Treatment effects on productivity did not compensate for changing cli...
