MaxEnt-Based Predictions of Suitable Potential Distribution of <i>Leymus secalinus</i> Under Current and Future Climate Change by Shimeng Zhao, Zongxian Zhang, Changyu Gao, Yiding Dong, Zeyao Jing, Lixia Du, Xiangyang Hou

“…The results showed the following: (1) Mean diurnal temperature range, annual mean temperature, precipitation of the wettest quarter, and elevation are the major factors impacting the distribution of <i>L. secalinus</i>. (2) Under the current climatic conditions, <i>L. secalinus</i> is mainly distributed in the farming–pastoral ecotone of northern China; in addition, certain suitable areas also exist in parts of Xinjiang, Tibet, Sichuan, Heilongjiang, and Jilin. (3) Under future climate change scenarios, the suitable areas for <i>L. secalinus</i> are generally the same as at present, with slight changes in area under different scenarios, with the largest expansion of 97,222 km² of suitable area in 2021–2040 under the SSP1-26 scenario and the largest shrinkage of potential suitable area in 2061–2080 under the SSP2-45 scenario, with 87,983 km². …”
