Interpretation Guide
Jack pine is a narrow ranged, sparse, but high importance species, found across 2% of the eastern US. Models suggest a small decrease (up to 40%) in suitable habitat even though they also show a slight increase in area. However, it rates highly for adaptability (drought tolerant) and is fairly abundant so that we suggest a good capability rating. SHIFT also suggests it may be a good infill species, mostly under RCP 8.5.
Family: Pinaceae
Guild: pioneer, dry-site, shade intolerant
