Interpretation Guide
Pitch pine is a narrow distributed (1.9% of area), sparse, but of high importance were found. It was modeled to show a slight decrease in habitat (less so under RCP 8.5). It is moderate in abundance and adaptability with a fairly reliable model, yielding an overall capability to cope of fair for RCP 8.5 and poor for RCP 4.5. SHIFT migration is not significant.
Family: Pinaceae
Guild: pioneer, dry-site, shade intolerant
