5 Conclusion
In the study, the potential suitable Satyrium habitat in China
was predicted based on the MaxEnt model optimized by the ENMeval
package. Temperature was the common variable in the three species. In
regard to S. nepalense , precipitation is one of environment
variables influencing its geographic distribution. The potential
geographical distribution of Satyrium under current climatic
conditions is primarily on the southwest side of China.Satyrium ’s highly suitable
habitat area, moderately suitable habitat area, and total suitable
habitat area were predicted to increase under future climate change
scenarios. The highly suitable habitat area of Satyrium showed a
tendency to shift to areas with higher elevation. In regard to future
changes in suitable habitat areas, both the gained and lost areas ofSatyrium will increase in emission concentrations; however, the
gained area will be larger than the lost area. These results can provide
theoretical guidance for protecting endangered plants in China and offer
further reference for biodiversity protection in China.
