Prediction of potential distribution of Sophora flavescens in China under climate change

In order to understand the changes of potential distribution of Sophora flavescens in China under the climate change and to explore the relationship between bioclimatic factors and the suitable distribution pattern of S. flavescens, we investigated the distribution pattern of S. flavescens in China under the three climate scenarios(last glacial maximum, current climate, and future climate), and analyzed the dominant ecological factors affecting the growth of S. flavescens with Maximum Entropy Model(MaxEnt)and Geographic Information System(ArcGIS)by collecting the geographical distribution points of S. flavescens combining with 19 ecological factors. The results were as follows:(1)Under the current climate conditions, the average temperature in the warmest quarter(bio10)and the precipitation in the wettest quarter(bio16)were the dominant climate factors affecting the distribution of S. flavescens.(2)The suitable habitat of S. flavescens accounted for 35.90% of the total land area of China. The optimum areas of S. flavescens were mainly distributed between the 800 mm isopyet and the 400 mm isopyet in China.(3)From the last glacial maximum to the future climate, the suitable habitat area of S. flavescens in China gradually decreased, and showed a trend of moving to high latitude.(4)The suitable habitat area of S. flavescens under the current climate was 0.3% less than that in the last glacial maximum, and the suitable habitat area of S. flavescens under the future climate was 0.75% less than that in the current climate. In conclusion, global warming plays a negative role in the potential distribution area of S. flavescens, and leads to the reduction of suitable habitat and the narrowing of actual niche of S. flavescens, which is not conducive to the growth of S. flavescens to a certain extent. The results of this study provide the theoretical basis for the rational distribution of wild conservation and artificial cultivation of S. flavescens.
