Interpretation Guide
Shagbark hickory is a widespread (13.6% of area), though sparse and low IV, hickory throughout much of the Central Hardwoods. With a moderate rating of adaptability and a medium reliable model suggesting no change in suitable habitat, the maps indicate some additional suitable habitat north into Minnesota and Maine under RCP 8.5. However, the SHIFT model does not indicate any chance of natural colonization there within 100 years. We project an overall capability rating of fair for this species.
