Red pine is quite abundant in the Northwoods (narrow-3.8% of area, sparse, and high importance where found), and also spattered elsewhere in ther north, but it is not particularly adaptable to climate change. We modeled no change in suitable habitat, and an overall assessment of poor capability to cope with a changing climate. SHIFT shows a lot of infill.



Family:  Pinaceae

Guild: pioneer, dry-site intolerant
