Many common species in the dry oak and pine/oak forest and woodland ecosystem are projected to remainstable in total volume, but shift in size classes from many small trees to fewer large, old trees.

Models project that suitable habitat, potential growth, and trees per acre for chestnut oak and scarlet oak were projected to remain stable under low climate scenarios and decrease under high climate scenarios. Black oak was projected to remain stable under low climate scenarios, but under high climate scenarios suitable habitat is expected to increase while growth potential and trees per acre decrease. Models project increases in suitable habitat and potential growth for only one species, loblolly pine, which is expected to benefit from increased temperatures under both scenarios. Habitat suitability for pitch pine, Table Mountain pine, and Virginia pine was modeled by Tree Atlas only, and was projected to remain stable or increase under both scenarios.
