Climate change effects on desert date Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile in Benin: Implications for conservation and domestication

Abstract: Effectiveness of Balanites aegyptiaca conservation and sustainable exploitation requires a better knowledge of the intrinsic environmental factors linked with its current and future geographic distribution. This study aimed to map suitable areas for the conservation and domestication of B. aegyptiaca under present‐day and future climate conditions in Benin. A total of 424 occurrence records of B. aegyptiaca were combined with the environmental variables of two climatic scenarios (optimistic RCP 4.5 and pessimi… Show more

“…The current and future geographic distribution of suitable habitats of R. heudelotii based on the logistic probability of occurrence (P) were also mapped. For this purpose, three habitat classes were defined: i-low suitable (P ≤ 0.3), ii-medium suitable (0.3 > P ≤ 0.5), and iii-high suitable areas (P > 0.5) [ 38 , 39 ]. The proportion of loss, stable, or gain areas was calculated and the trend was estimated.…”
