 Interpretation Guide


Spruce pine is a narrow distributed (0.8% of area), sparse, and low importance species with a poorly reliable model which shows a substatial reduction in suitable habitat. Though medium in adaptability, its very low modeled mean IV and current abundance coupled with decreasing habitat yields a very poor capability rating. SHIFT shows limited migration for RCP 4.5.



Family:  Pinaceae

Guild:  persistent, slow-growing, understory tolerant
