Interpretation Guide
Striped maple is narrowly distributed (3.5% of area), sparse, and usually with low IV; it is a highly adaptable, common species present now on the Appalachian spine into New England. The medium reliable model expands the potential territory substantially through the lower Mississippi Valley, but reduces the average abundance per acre so that overall, the importance is projected to decline and with a poor capacity to cope with a changing climate. SHIFT shows some minor infill.
Family: Aceraceae
Guild: persistent, slow-growing understory tolerant
Functional Lifeform: large shrub or small deciduous tree
