Interpretation Guide
Red mulberry is fairly common (9.1% of area), but sparse and with low IV, across the eastern part of the region. The low reliable model suggests no change in habitat, but that there is good habitat in the western portion of the region. SHIFT classes it as a decent infill species for those areas. It is also moderately adaptable, yielding a fair capacity to cope with the changing climate.
Family: Moraceae
Guild: opportunistic, fast-growing understory tolerant
Functional Lifeform: small to medium-size deciduous tree
