northern pin oak (Quercus ellipsoidalis)

 Interpretation GuideView the guide to reading the interpretive narrations

Northern pin oak is a narrowly distributed (2.1% of area), sparse, but high IV species commonly found in the northwestern portion of the study region and with a medium reliable model suggesting an increase in suitable habitat in future (though still classed as 'No change' because of it only occupies 2.1% of the area). The 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 model suggests some of that new northern habitat could get colonized naturally within 100 years. It has a high adaptability rating, and an overall rating of good capabilityAn overall estimate of capability for the species to cope or persist with the changing climate within the eastern US. to deal with the changing climate.
