Climate and land use directly influence species’ spatial distribution, which can alter distribution lead to significant changes in biodiversity patterns. There are few reports on how climate affect plant This study focuses Chinese endemic tree plants, analyzing the hotspots under current future conditions (2050 SSP1–2.6 SSP5–8.5 scenarios). Using data of plants China, Biomod2-integrated species model, “top 5% diversity” hotspot identification method, we examine richness (SR), functional diversity (FD), phylogenetic (PD). The results indicate that with use: (1) shifts occur patterns hotspots. Although number identified by different indices varies, fragmentation increases across all scenarios. (2) Hotspots tend concentrate low-latitude high-altitude regions. In scenarios, longitudinal position is significantly lower, their elevation higher compared scenario. (3) also change significantly. SR PD show similar trends Under conditions, highest values found eastern mountainous regions, such as Wuyi Mountains Nanling Mountains, while they shift central western areas like Qinling Hengduan Mountains. FD pattern differs, its consistently southeastern Tibet Thus, not only but within them. provides scientific evidence for regional-scale conservation global change.
