Current climatically potential area for distribution of plants and their fate in projected changed scenario of climate
The distribution of a species is an inherent part of its ecology. Species distribution is essential for a successful species’ management.
The potential distribution and quantified ecological niche describes where conditions are suitable for occurrence and for supporting the survival of the species. During the PhD Project, distribution model/s of some selected plant species will be prepared for current and the IPCC projected climatic scenario/s then potential shift of species in current and future climatic scenarios will be analyzed. The findings shall be useful in proactive management of the species in climate change scenario.
