Description
268 distribution records model the current and future habitat of the endangered medicinal plant Sinopodophyllum hexandrum. The study by Gong-Han Tu, last updated in 2026, projects a 61.70% increase in suitable habitat area by the 2090s under the SSP585 climate scenario. It identifies altitude, minimum temperature, and annual precipitation as dominant factors, with high-risk areas largely outside existing nature reserves.
Use Cases
Modeling future habitat expansion based on climate scenarios SSP126, SSP370, and SSP585.
Identifying priority conservation areas based on high-risk zones covering 5.30 × 10⁴ km².
Analyzing the synergistic effects of environmental factor interactions, such as bio12 ∩ elevation.
Assessing land-use change impact by evaluating carrier ecosystems like grassland and forest land.
Strengths
Includes 268 species distribution records for model training.
Quantifies current suitable habitat area as 1.1608 × 10⁶ km² and projects future changes.
Identifies specific dominant environmental factors with contribution rates (e.g., altitude at 34.5%).
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Data is provided in a DOCX file format, which may require extraction for analysis.
