Interpretation Guide
Silverbell is extremely sparse (0.2% of area), with low IV, which Little mapped in the Gulf states, but the FIA core area is only in western North Carolina. The poorly reliable model suggests no change of habitat within the southern states, and its rarity and moderate adaptability yielded a poor overall capability rating. SHIFT shows minor infill.
Family: Styracaceae
Guild: opportunistic, moderate growth, moist-site tolerant, understory tolerant
Functional Lifeform: Small deciduous tree
