Effect of pest management on live tree carbon at risk under current and future climate. The total height of the bars indicates the C at risk without pest management, with the light-colored portion of the bars illustrating the management effect, and the dark colored portion showing the residual live tree C at risk with pest management in place. Numbers indicate the values (in Tg C) by which C at risk can be reduced through pest management. Current refers to the climate conditions of 1950–2000, while future indicates values for the mid-twenty-first century (2030–2080) under an intermediate climate scenario (RCP 4.5).
