Description

Li, Li, Wu, Zhang, and Wang model protection gaps for rare plants in Hubei Province, China, in twenty twenty-five. Land demand puts rare and endangered species under growing pressure. The team studied ten protected plant species as a case. They combined distribution models with habitat quality and carbon storage maps.

Climate was the main driver of where the species can live now. Human disturbance is projected to matter more in the future. Core suitable area may shrink by about two point six percent. Habitat quality should rise slightly on average, with gains in western mountains and losses near cities. Systematic planning found large gaps in border mountain regions. Four priority zones were named for new reserves. The authors link plant protection with carbon goals.
