Many species in tidal swamps are projected to increase or remain steady under climate change, including American elm, baldcypress, water tupelo, loblolly pine, green ash, and red maple.

Multiple forest impact models tend to agree that many tidal swamp species are likely to maintain or increase in suitable habitat and biomass during the 21st century. Green ash species is threatened by Emerald Ash Borer and is expected to decline significantly from the borer during the next several decades.
