Interpretation Guide
Shingle oak is a narrowly distributed (2.9% of area), but dense and of high IV where it is located in the central portion of the study region (especially Missouri and Illinois), and the medium reliable model suggests a small decrease in suitable habitat within its current range. As such, it is the only oak with models suggesting a reduction in suitable habitat. It has an adaptability rating of medium with an overall rating of poor capability to cope with the changing climate. SHIFT shows some infilling.
Family: Fagaceae
Guild: persistent, large-seeded, advance growth dependent
