Mountain Riparian Zones as Refugia for Rare and Endangered Plants Under Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study integrates Species Distribution Models and the InVEST model to project the distribution of 32 rare and endangered plants in the Irtysh River Basin under climate change. Results predict range contractions for 60% of species by 2050 and reveal that 80% of species currently fall outside protected areas, despite the role of mountains as climate ...
