Interpretation Guide
Florida maple is a narrowly distributed (1.9% of area), sparse maple with low IVs and with very limited evidence in Florida, despite its name. The model (of low reliability) suggests a sizable increase in habitat, especially under RCP 8.5, and the species has high adaptabilty; however, its rarity may restrict its capacity to flourish under climate change and we give it an overall capability rating of fair. SHIFT models a large restriction of natural migration into the potential new habitat shown for the MidAtlantic states over a 100-year period.
Family: Aceraceae
Guild: persistent, slow growing, understory tolerant
