 Interpretation GuideView the guide to reading the interpretive narrations

Swamp chestnut oak is a narrowly distributed (2.3% of area), sparse, low IV, but common species in the south-southeast portion of the study region. The low reliability model suggests an increase in habitat, though still classed as 'No change' because of <10% of area). The adaptability is medium and the overall capabilityAn overall estimate of capability for the species to cope or persist with the changing climate within the eastern US. rating is fair.
