Interpretation Guide
Black maple, though dispersed across the upper Midwest, is very rare according to FIA (0.5% of cells), and it shows a large decrease in habitat. However, it is highly adaptable, so that it could adapt well. Nonetheless, its rarity and modeled loss in habitat generates a poor capability to cope. SHIFT shows negligible migration.
Family: Aceraceae
Guild: persistant, slow-growing, understory tolerant
Functional Lifeform: large deciduous tree
