Response of an Invasive Plant Species (Cynanchum acutum L.) to Changing Climate Conditions and Its Impact on Agricultural Landscapes

Forecasting the distribution patterns of invasive weed species under changing climate conditions is critical for early identification especially vulnerable regions and implementation effective preventive measures. In this study, current potential range stranglewort (Cynanchum acutum L.)—an alien (IAS) in certain regions—are predicted various scenarios, using maximum entropy algorithm. Species occurrence data representing natural C. 15 WorldClim bioclimatic variables are used. With an ensemble method, impact change on according to five CMIP6 models three scenarios (optimistic: SSP245; middle road: SSP370; pessimistic: SSP585). According findings, it all that could expand its north, particularly agricultural landscapes. Therefore, status will likely continue future. This emphasizes need determine priority conservation targets, areas, ensure food safety protect biodiversity.
