Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) is a species with great economic interest worldwide and classified as vulnerable to extinction by the IUCN. Deforestation climate change are main hazards this species. Therefore, it vital describe possible changes in distribution patterns under current future climatic conditions, they important for their monitoring, conservation, use. In study, we predict, ...

China’s sugar production and consumption continues to increase. This process is alreadyongoing for over 15 years and over 90% of the sugar production comes from sugarcane(Saccharum officinarum). Most of the sugarcane is planted in the south (e.g. the Chineseprovinces of Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong and Hainan) and it represents there a majoreconomic crop in these landscapes. As found virtually wo...

Extreme temperature events, which are part of global climate change, a growing threat to crop production, especially such temperature-sensitive crops as rice. As result, the traditional rice-growing areas also likely shift. The MaxEnt model was used for predicting potentially suitable rice in short term (2016–2035) and medium (2046–2065) under two scenarios developed by Intergovernmental Panel ...

We examine the distribution of Dracaena cinnabari, Socotran Dragon’s Blood Tree, an endangered species endemic to island Socotra (Yemen)—and we propose accessibility approach its conservation, taking proximity local communities and land users into account. Using present occurrence D. applied a machine learning algorithm (random forest classifier) estimate potential across (overall validation ac...

Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is a minor cereal crop of key importance for making pasta, couscous, burghul, puddings, bread and many other traditional foods, due to its physical chemical characteristics. The global demand high-quality food made has been increasing, which poses challenge in the face climate change. Major share production currently located semi-arid climates, where risk extr...
