Modeling the Current and Future Distribution of (Roxb.) Suksathan & Borchs.: A Monotypic Plant Endemic to the Western Ghats-Sri Lanka Biodiversity Hotspot.

Species distribution modeling (SDM) is an essential tool in ecology and conservation for predicting species distributions based on species presence/absence data and environmental variables. The present study aimed to understand the distribution pattern and habitat suitability of under current and future climate change scenarios (2050 and 2070) using and tools. The study also intended to identify key environmental predictors of distribution.
