Climatic Suitability Predictions for Two Liana Species Under Current and Future Scenarios

Global predictions for climatically suitable areas for Parthenocissus tricuspidata and Ficus tikoua, generated using the MaxEnt model under current and future climate scenarios. The dataset, a 123.5 KB PDF authored by Zhengfeng Chen and last updated in April 2026, provides a screening framework for evaluating these species as candidates for rocky slope rehabilitation in karst regions.

Use Cases

• Screen candidate plant species for ecological rehabilitation projects based on predicted climatic suitability.
• Compare potential distribution shifts of liana species under different future climate scenarios.
• Identify overlapping climatically suitable regions for Parthenocissus tricuspidata and Ficus tikoua.
• Inform broad-scale species selection for slope stabilization efforts in North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe.

Strengths

• Model outputs for two distinct species (Parthenocissus tricuspidata and Ficus tikoua) are provided.
• Includes predictions for both current and future climate scenarios.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Data is presented as a 123.5 KB PDF; underlying tabular or geospatial data may not be directly accessible.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown.
• The description notes predictions represent climatic suitability, not direct restoration site identification, requiring consideration of additional real-world constraints.
