Description
Jing-Xia Guo and co-authors map, in a study published in 2025, where two desert plants may live as the climate warms. One is a hardy shrub of dry lands in Asia, and the other is a parasite that grows on its roots and is valued in trade. Both hold dry soils in place and support local income.
The team combined climate and soil maps in a joint model and added a tool that shows which factors drive each forecast. Good habitat now centers on northwest China and parts of Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Under the harshest warming path by late century, the shrub could lose over half its habitat, and the parasite over ninety percent. Heat patterns, rain, and soil water were key drivers. The parasite may also lose touch with its host.
