Interpretation Guide
Sand pine has a very restrictive range (0.4% of area) but is dense and of high importance (FIAiv=26, fourth highest) where it occurs (mostly Florida). Its models show an increase in potential area, though suitable sandy soils could be limiting. Though it has no change in suitable habitat, its low adaptability (negative scores for drought, insects, and fire topkill) yields a poor capability rating. SHIFT does suggest, however, that it may be an infill species.
Family: Pinaceae
Guild: pioneer, dry-site, shade intolerant
