Interpretation Guide
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 capability rating is fair. SHIFT reports fairly good infilling.
Family: Fagaceae
Guild: persistent, large-seeded, advance growth dependent
Functional Lifeform: medium to large deciduous tree
