Modeling of the potential geographical distribution of naked oat under climate change

Abstract

IntroductionNaked oat (Avena sativa L.), is an important miscellaneous grain crop in China, which is rich in protein, amino acids, fat and soluble dietary fiber. The demand for functional foods is gradually increasing as living standards rise, and the output of minor cereals in China is increasing annually. The planting layout of naked oat is scattered and lacks planning, which seriously restricts the development of the naked oat industry. The increase in miscellaneous grain production will not only be impacted by cultivation methods and management techniques, but the potential impact of global climate change needs to be considered. North China is the main area for naked oat production, worldwide.MethodsIn this study, the potential distribution range of naked oat in North China was forecast based on historical distribution data and the Maxent model under climate change conditions. The performance of the model was relatively high.ResultsThe results indicated that the most suitable area for the potential geographic distribution of naked oat in North China was 27.89×104 km2, including central and northeastern Shanxi, and northeastern and western Hebei and Beijing, gradually moving northward. The core suitable area increased, and the distribution of naked oat had an obvious regional response to climate warming; the main environmental factors affecting the potential geographic distribution were precipitation factor variables (precipitation seasonality (variation coefficient)), terrain factor variables (elevation) and temperature factor variables (temperature seasonality (Standard Deviation*100)).DiscussionIn this study, the Maxent model was used to analyze and predict suitable areas for naked oat in North China, and the distribution of suitable areas was accurately divided, and the main climatic factors affecting the distribution of naked oat were identified. This research provides data support and theoretical support for the optimal planting zone of naked oat in North China.

Predicting the geographical distribution and niche characteristics of Cotoneaster multiflorus based on future climate change

“…Among these, the contribution rate and the importance value of Annual precipitation (Bio12) were the highest, indicating that in arid and semi-arid regions, precipitation is more important than temperature. This is consistent with the findings of Qin et al (2023), who observed that extreme drought in certain areas consumed soil moisture reserves, restricting plant survival and growth. Furthermore, when Annual precipitation (Bio12) exceeded 150 mm, C. multiflorus can survive, and when it exceeded 500 mm, the survival rate was 0.60 (Figure 6).…”

Adaptive Distribution and Vulnerability Assessment of Endangered Maple Species on the Tibetan Plateau

“…Predicting the adaptive geographic distribution of species under climate change scenarios is a common method for understanding species adaptation [28]. Currently, species distribution models (SDMs) are a popular approach to predicting the adaptive geographical ranges of species, using data on the geographical distribution of species, bioclimatic and environmental factors, and other relevant information [29,30]. As a commonly used ecological niche model [31], the maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) has attracted more attention due to its relatively superior predictive power [32][33][34][35].…”

Impacts of Climate Changes on Geographic Distribution of Primula filchnerae, an Endangered Herb in China

“…[8]. Species distribution models have been widely used to study the potential geographic distribution of species under various climate conditions [9]. Species distribution models (SDMs), also called 'habitat' models, can assess the distribution of a given species simply based on presence data and various environmental parameters.…”
