Description
Meng Li and co-authors forecast how climate change will move the homelands of two magnolia subspecies in East Asia. The tree, Magnolia sieboldii, is a prized ornamental whose wild stands are already struggling. Using a habitat model fed with sightings and climate data, the team mapped where each subspecies can live now and under future climate paths.
Warm-season rain shaped both ranges most, but the two parted ways on other factors: one answers mainly to temperature swings and yearly warmth, the other to altitude and dry-season warmth. The first subspecies, now spread wide across northeast China, Korea, and Japan, should push north and grow. The second, scattered in Japan and southern Chinese mountains, should shrink southward. The authors urge priority protection for the shrinking one, mixing wild protection, cultivation, and cross-breeding.
