Projected change in total ecosystem carbon (TEC) for the western U.S. for the RCP 4.5 radiative forcing scenario and two climate models under both business-as-usual (BAU) and a natural climate solutions (NCS) reforestation scenario. Panel a shows the spatial location of areas selected for reforestation under the hot-dry scenario. Panel b shows the net biome productivity (NBP) between 2020 and 2050 under the hot-dry scenario. Panel c shows the relative change in TEC to the year 2001 for all scenarios. Panel d shows the mean cumulative change in NBP for the reforestation scenario relative to the BAU scenario from 2020 to 2050
