Ohio buckeye (Aesculus glabra)

 Interpretation GuideView the guide to reading the interpretive narrations

Ohio buckeye is narrowly distributed (1.5% of area), sparse, and low IV species centered in the central states from Missouri to Ohio. The poorly reliable model shows a decrease in habitat but fairly stable in Ohio and Indiana. Though moderately adaptable, its projected decline and low abundance yields a very poor rating for capacity to cope. SHIFTMigration model that calculates the likelihood of colonization, based on current abundance over an approximately 100-year time period period to roughly intersect the future suitable habitats predicted by DISTRIB-II shows some minor infillThe species is projected, according to SHIFT, to be a good species to plant to ‘fill in’ suitable habitats, most often in the general proximity and gaps present in the current range of the species..
