Ecological risk assessment of future suitable areas for Piper kadsura under the background of climate change by Shimeng Li, Yuanxin Li, Mingli Hu, Mingli Hu, Yankun Li, Yankun Li, Mingrong Yang, Shi Wang, Shi Wang, Wei Yu, Wei Yu, Chunsong Cheng, Qiqing Cheng, Qiqing Cheng

“…IntroductionPiper kadsura is a well-known medicinal plant that belongs to woody liana, possessing high therapeutic and economic value. The market demand of P. kadsura is huge, but its wild resources are scarce and artificial cultivation methods have not been established, which leads to a situation with strong contradiction and imbalance between supply and demand.MethodsIn this study, 303 sample of distribution data for P. kadsura in China were collected, 33 environmental variables related to terrain, climate and soil were analyzed and the suitable habitats of P. kadsura during various periods were predicted by MaxEnt model and ArcGIS software, aiming to provide a basis for scientific cultivation and effective utilization of resources.ResultsThe results indicated that precipitation and temperature were significant factors in the distribution of P. kadsura. …”
