Key Observations
The species range is shifting from
subtropical broadleaf to
temperate broadleaf for
probability range between 0.9-1.0
The range although is relatively
constant during 1977-2012 is
projected to increase in 2050
There is a probability that this
species will shift to temperate
conifer where this species is
generally not found.
