Tree species maladapted to the future climate will experience<br />
decreases in abundance <strong>and</strong> distribution. Other species will<br />
benefit from climate <strong>change</strong>. Some may be neutral.<br />
The USFS has developed the Tree<br />
Atlas showing where climate<br />
<strong>change</strong> is likely to have effects for<br />
the 130+ tree species in the NE<br />
USA. Based on FIA plots.<br />
In MN, 12 of 22 <strong>forest</strong> species will<br />
have hotspots of <strong>change</strong> where<br />
the tree populations are likely to<br />
diminish. Iverson, 2007<br />
White spruce<br />
Hotspots are hatched polygons.<br />
