Prediction and Analysis of Potential Habitat Distribution of Taxus wallichiana var.Chinensis under Climate Change:A Case Study of Hubei Province
摘要
Abstract
Taxus wallichiana var.chinensis,a wild plant under China's first-class national protection,is also listed as Vulnerable(VU)by the IUCN,highlighting its conservation status.Research on its potential distribution under climate change remains limited,posing challenges to its protection and management efforts.This study leverages the Biomod2 package,which integrates multiple modeling approaches,and combines current and future climate scenarios with various environmental factors,such as climate and topography,to analyze changes in the potential suitable habitat of Taxus wallichiana var.chinensis in Hubei Province,China.The results demonstrate that by ensemble modeling using multiple approaches,a more accurate composite model was achieved for predicting the potential suitable habitat of Taxus wallichiana var.chinensis.Furthermore,precipitation in the coldest quarter(bio19)had the most substantial influence on the distribution of suitable habitats.The suitability of Taxus wallichiana var.chinensis initially increased with increasing precipitation,peaking when precipitation exceeded 61 mm,after which it exhibited a declining trend.Under current climatic conditions,the potential suitable habitat for Taxus wallichiana var.chinensis is predominantly concentrated in the Qinba Mountains of western Hubei and the Wuling Mountains of southwestern Hubei,covering an area of approximately 15067 km2,which accounts for 8.1%of the total study area.Under future climate scenarios influenced by global warming,the area of potential suitable habitat for Taxus wallichiana var.chinensis is projected to increase significantly.Additionally,the overall degree of habitat fragmentation is expected to decrease,with suitable habitats expanding toward mid-to low-altitude mountainous regions characterized by favorable hydrothermal conditions and greater topographic variations.This study further underscores the impact of future climate change on the expansion of potentially suitable habitats and the migration of distribution centers for Taxus wallichiana var.chinensis,providing a scientific foundation for its conservation and management in the Hubei Province.The integration of diverse environmental variables and advanced modeling techniques in this study enhances our understanding of how climate change may alter the ecological niche of this vulnerable species.These findings highlight the critical role of precipitation patterns,particularly during the coldest season,in shaping the habitat suitability.This insight is vital for developing adaptive conservation strategies,as it suggests that changes in precipitation regimes could either bolster or constrain the survival of Taxus wallichiana var.chinensis in certain regions of China.Moreover,the predicted expansion of suitable habitats into new regions under warming scenarios indicates a potential shift in conservation priorities,necessitating proactive measures,such as habitat restoration and corridor establishment to facilitate species migration.By identifying key areas of current and future habitat suitability,this study provides actionable insights for policy makers and conservationists.This emphasizes the need for dynamic management approaches that account for shifting environmental conditions and the ecological requirements of Taxus wallichiana var.chinensis.As climate change continues to reshape ecosystems,such research provides an essential framework for safeguarding Taxus wallichiana var.chinensis,ensuring its persistence amid the evolving challenges in Hubei Province and other regions.This study not only contributes to the conservation of a single species but also serves as a model for studying other climate-sensitive plants facing similar threats in the future.关键词
