Abstract Knowing the impacts of global climate change on habitat suitability distribution Limassolla leafhoppers contributes to understanding feedback organisms from a macroecological perspective, and provides important scientific basis for protecting ecological environment biodiversity. However, there is limited knowledge this aspect. Thus, our study aimed address gap by analyzing Asian centroid shifts based 19 bioclimatic variables occurrence records. Selecting five niche models with outstanding predictive performance (Maxlike, generalized linear model, additive random forest, maximum entropy) along their ensemble model 12 models, current its future under two Shared Socio‐economic Pathways (SSP1‐2.6 SSP5‐8.5) in 2050s 2090s were predicted. The results showed that prediction are generally consistent. Based 11 potential biodiversity hotspots high identified. With change, suitable range will experience both expansion contraction. In SSP5‐8.52050s, area 118.56 × 10 4 km 2 , while contraction 25.40 ; SSP1‐2.62090s, 91.71 26.54 . Furthermore, core shift toward higher latitudes northeast direction, precipitation warmest quarter was found have greatest impact Our research supported four hypotheses. Finally, suggests establishing reserves identified prevent loss, enhancing protection hotspots, pursuing sustainable development path reduced emissions.

Habitat quality assessment on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau across vegetation ecoregions using InVEST and Geodetector models

Frontiers in Earth Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12

Introduction The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau holds a significant position in the global ecosystem, with its unique high altitude and complex geographical features fostering rich biodiversity. plateau’s high-altitude environment distinctive climate system significantly influence Asian monsoon regional hydrological cycles. Its vast glaciers snow reserves are crucial regulating climate. While previous studies have analyzed habitat quality of Plateau, variations exist across different vegetation ecoregions, warranting further investigation into these their influencing factors. Methods This study conducted comprehensive assessment on by analyzing impacts human activities, change, grazing intensity. Using InVEST Model Geodetector Model, we evaluated six ecoregions from 2000 to 2020. efficacy ecological red-line policies actual conservation efforts was also examined. Results results indicate that among is shaped interaction human-induced factors, leading notable spatiotemporal variations. From 2020, habitats impacted intensity, land-use changes. These effects were especially prominent during period 2005 2010. Discussion changes influenced multiple driving differences drivers various ecoregions. redline policy has played an important role protecting key areas, particularly regions intervention, where effectiveness more pronounced. In future management, it essential strengthen measures based specificity. By comprehensively considering impact activities natural developing targeted management strategies for improving quality.
