“…When addressing these potential effects, it is crucial to determine how various taxa will respond to future climate change to develop successful biodiversity management strategies [6]. This knowledge will not only help managers address any potential threats that might change the distribution of species [5,7], but can also help land managers to develop strategies related to the wise conservation of resources, and might include the preparation and storage of germplasm [8][9][10][11].…”

Climate change impacts the world’s biota, creating a critical issue for scientists, conservationists, and decision makers. Pistacia chinensis Bunge (Anacardiaceae) is an economical importantly species with strong drought resistance. Nevertheless, the characteristics of habitat distribution and the major eco-environmental variables affecting its suitability are poorly understood. By using 365 occurrence records along with 51 environmental factors, present and future suitable habitats were estimated using MaxEnt modeling, and the important environmental variables affecting its geographical distribution were analyzed. The results indicate that water vapor pressure, precipitation of wettest quarter, normalized difference vegetation index, and isothermality were the most influential environmental factors determining the existence of P. chinensis. In future climate change, MaxEnt predicted that inappropriate habitats of P. chinensis show a decreasing trend, whereas moderately and highly appropriate habitat areas exhibited an increasing trend. Furthermore, under this climate change scenario, the suitable habitat will geographically expand to higher latitude and altitude. Our results might be applied in a variety of contexts, including discovering previously unreported P. chinensis places where it may appear in the future, or possible areas where the species could be cultivated, thus contributing to the preservation and protection of this species.

“…In addition, Rhododendron is globally cultivated as an ornamental plant [6,7]. As the largest genus in the family of Ericaceae, they form a major component of the montane ecosystem in the Himalayan subalpine and alpine zones, which has been identified as one of the most fragile ecosystems in the world [8,9]. These species play a vital role in slope stabilization and watershed protection in the Himalayas.…”

Rhododendron lapponicum (R. lapponicum) is a dwarf Rhododendron species, which is severely infected with root rot and wilt in Yunnan province, China. However, the causal agent causing these symptoms was unknown. An isolate, Pci‐1 was identified as Phytophthora cinnamomi, based on its morphology and the sequences of β‐tubulin, internal transcribed spacer, and Ypt1 genes and verified according to the Koch's postulate. We found that this pathogen could infect 14 species of plants, including Althaea rosea, Viburnum cylindricum, and Brassica napus. Strain Pci‐1 could cause R. lapponicum to wither and die; and it grows best in an oat medium with pH 7.0 − 8.0 and an optimum temperature of 27°C. We suggest that the rhizosphere of R. lapponicum treated with biocontrol strains Paenibacillus polymyxoides P2‐5 and Trichoderma asperellum Tv‐1 showed a significant inhibitory effect on pathogen Pci‐1. The inhibitory effect of 70% dimethomorph + cymoxanil was significantly higher with EC50 and EC90 values of 0.1894 and 0.3618 a.i. µg/ml, respectively. Greenhouse experiments revealed that the pathogen load is decreased in the presence of potential antagonists. This study provides fundamentals on risk assessment and theoretical support for the management of P. cinnamomi pathogen and contributes significantly to the planting of forest and horticultural crops in a disease‐free environment.
