We used these scores to determine whether mixed hardwood-softwood stands or \u201cmixedwoods\u201d were better suited to projected future climates than pure hardwood or pure softwood stands. We also examined the quantity of aboveground carbon (C) sequestered in the overstory of these mixtures. In the four different mixedwood types that we examined, we found that <em>Pinus echinata<\/em>&#8211;<em>Quercus <\/em>mixtures in the Ozark Highlands had greater Compatibility scores than hardwood stands and greater Adaptability scores than pure <em>Pinus echinata<\/em> stands; however, these mixtures did not store more aboveground overstory C than pure stands. For <em>Pinus strobus<\/em>&#8211;<em>Quercus rubra<\/em>, <em>Picea-Abies<\/em>-hardwood, and <em>Tsuga <\/em>canadensis-hardwood mixtures, scores indicated that there were no advantages or disadvantages related to climate compatibility. Those mixtures generally had greater Adaptability scores than their pure softwood analogs but stored less aboveground overstory C.
