Invasive species have been the focus of ecologists due to their undesired impacts on environment. The extent and rapid increase in invasive plant is recognized as a natural cause global-biodiversity loss degrading ecosystem services. Biological invasions can affect ecosystems across wide spectrum bioclimatic conditions. Understanding impact climate change invasion crucial for sustainable biodiv...

Introduction Bioclimatic zone systems aim to define reproducible sets of named biogeographical cells that facilitate global comparisons of ecological data. Zones based on extant vegetation loosely reflect contemporary climate, but are vitiated by climate history, chance establishment, genetic potential of local species, terrain instability, intrazonal soils, and biotic disturbance. The system o...

The Socotra Archipelago (Yemen) is an interesting biodiversity hotspot, with a significant proportion of endemic species that have evolved to survive in arid subtropical environment, inscribed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. terrestrial ecosystems face several threats, including climate change, overgrazing and soil degradation. Island has four the genus Commiphora (Burseraceae). Little known ...

Precise modelling of the influence of climate change on Arabica coffee is limited; there are no data available for indigenous populations of this species. In this study we model the present and future predicted distribution of indigenous Arabica, and identify priorities in order to facilitate appropriate decision making for conservation, monitoring and future research. Using distribution data w...

Exploring protected area (PA) siting from a biodiversity perspective is critical in mitigating human impacts on ecosystems. This paper used the MaxEnt model to predict geographic distribution patterns of wetland species Zhengzhou and environmental factors affecting species’ habitat selection. Environmental variables were screened by correlation analysis avoid prediction results due overfitting ...
