Interpretation Guide
Bigleaf magnolia is a very rare species (0.4% of area) spattered in the south central portion of the eastern US, and its low reliable model suggests a quite severe reduction of habitat from that. It thus gets an overall capability rating of very poor. The effect of SHIFT is neglibible.
