Maxent modeling for predicting the potential distribution of Hippophae Linn species
摘要
The Hippophae Linn species exhibits resistance to drought, wind, and sand, and is rich in nutrients, thus possessing extremely high economic and ecological value. However, the potential distribution areas of Hippophae Linn and the key factors that will influence its distribution in the future remain unclear. The potential global distribution of Hippophae Linn in 2050s and 2070s was predicted under different emission scenarios using MaxEnt modelling. The results indicated that the Hippophae Linn species is currently distributed primarily in Europe and East Asia. Compared with its current distribution, the suitable distribution area for the Hippophae Linn species will increase by 0.45–0.48% in the future, and the centre of the distribution area will migrate to high altitudes or latitudes. The potential geographical distribution of Hippophae Linn is influenced by temperature, precipitation and ultraviolet radiation. Our study predicted changes in the distribution area of Hippophae Linn caused by global climate change, which will aid in understanding the biogeography of Hippophae Linn and enacting conservation strategies.
