Ensemble Modeling of Shifts in the Suitable Distribution and Ecological Niche of the Alpine Tibetan Medicinal Herb Corydalis hendersonii Hemsl. Under Climate Change and Human Activity [PDF]
Corydalis hendersonii, a rare alpine Tibetan medicinal herb, faces increasing threats from climate warming and intensified human activity. Using a biomod2 ensemble species distribution model that integrates climate variables and the Human Footprint Index, we predict that suitable habitats will remain stable or slightly expand under SSP126 but contract ...
