1. What is the geographic distribution of your trees?

2.What is the climate niche of your trees?

Based on your analyses, what type of climate habitat does your tree live in currently?

3. What do you predict will happen?

Make a prediction about how you think climate change will affect the distribution of your trees in Minnesota

4.Present your results 1

Show the change in suitable habitat in for your two trees
You can choose to show Minnesota or North American maps, depending on what you think is more interesting.

5.Present your results 2

Show the change in net % habitat availability and % loss of current habitat for your two trees

6. Conclusions, Part 1

Was your prediction correct?
How much confidence do you have in your results given differences between models?
Will your species continue to be able to live in Minnesota?
What biotic and abiotic factors might limit your species ability move to new suitable habitat?

7.Conclusions, Part 1

In addition to climate change and shifting habitats, what are some other threats your tree species face? Spend some time researching this question.

Cite at least one specific threat faced by one of your species.
If neither species is facing a threat, discuss why your trees are so successful (include at least one citation).

8. Restoration and Conservation

Spend some time researching any active restoration and/or conservation efforts concerning your tree species.

This could include (but is not limited to):
● Habitat restoration
● Habitat conservation
● Individual conservation
● Reintroductions

What is the geographic distribution of your trees? Based on your analyses, what is the range of your trees? Compare this to the Plants USDA map and discuss any differences.
