DESCRIPTION: The project will use patterns and sensitivity of forests from a latitudinal gradient of seed sources to recommend which seed sources of pitch pine are best for reforestation in a changing climate.
OUTCOMES: Completed analysis of all tree samples and found that the 1992 ring was often missing which has lead to the need to further analyze 30 native pitch pines.
