“…The importance of Annual precipitation and Mean diurnal range have been confirmed in previous study at montane areas in Irano-turanian region 2 , 7 . Annual precipitation also was the most important bioclimatic drivers at a regional scale in central Iran and as the second influential climatic factor in west Iran 1 , 5 .…”

Medicinal plants are valuable species, but their geographic distributions may be limited or exposed to extinction by climate change. Therefore, research on medicinal plants in the face of climate change is fundamental for developing conservation strategies. Distributional patterns for a semi-endemic medicinal plant species, Nepeta glomerulosa, distributed in southwestern and central Asia was determined based on a maximum–entropy algorithm. We evaluated potential geographic shifts in suitability patterns for this species under two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways scenarios (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5) of climate change for 2060. Our models based on climatic features indicate that the species occupies montane areas under current conditions; transfer of the model to future climate scenarios indicated that suitable areas for the species will increase in general, and the species will likely track its favored set of climate conditions. But the types and degrees of these changes differ among areas. Our findings can be used to inform conservation management programs for medicinal, endemic, and endangered species that probably respond similarly to climate change in southwestern and central Asia.

“…Several such parameters differentiate the climate of this region from Mediterranean bioclimates, including lower annual precipitation, lower winter temperatures, slightly higher summer temperatures, distinctly higher continentality (diurnal temperature variation), and often a longer dry season (5 to 7 months) [ 50 ]. Annual precipitation and temperature annual range rank among the most important drivers of the distribution of Artemisia aucheri at a regional scale in the Alborz Mountains in northern Iran [ 69 ]. Dianthus polylepis is distributed in areas with two distinct Mediterranean bioclimates: long summer drought and low annual precipitation (MXC; Mediterranean xeric-continental) and high annual precipitation in winter months (MPC; Mediterranean pluviseasonal-continental).…”

Endemic and restricted-range species are considered to be particularly vulnerable to the effects of environmental change, which makes assessing likely climate change effects on geographic distributions of such species important to the development of integrated conservation strategies. Here, we determined distributional patterns for an endemic species of Dianthus (Dianthus polylepis) in the Irano-Turanian region using a maximum-entropy algorithm. In total, 70 occurrence points and 19 climatic variables were used to estimate the potential distributional area under current conditions and two future representative concentration pathway (RCP2.6 and RCP8.5) scenarios under seven general circulation models for 2050. Mean diurnal range, iso-thermality, minimum temperature of coldest quarter, and annual precipitation were major factors that appeared to structure the distribution of the species. Most current potential suitable areas were located in montane regions. Model transfers to future-climate scenarios displayed upward shifts in elevation and northward shifts geographically for the species. Our results can be used to define high-priority areas in the Irano-Turanian region for conservation management plans for this species and can offer a template for analyses of other endangered and threatened species in the region.

“…This is consistent with the factors that affective to the appropriate habitats with several endangered plant species in high-altitude areas; Fritillaria cirrhosa (46), Artemisia spp. (47), and Rosa arabica (33), The most important determinants in plant species distribution were climate conditions and altitude. Additionally, the significance of climatic parameters and altitude in the medicinal plants' spatial distribution was confirmed in Egypt (48), in addition for distribution of Nepeta septemcrenata and Hypericum sinaicum in the Protectorate of St. Katherine (49,50).…”

The threatened and endangered species distribution data are frequently clustered, and modeling their suitable habitat distribution by commonly utilized modeling methods is difficult. Therefore, this work aimed to assess the potential geographic distribution of Nepeta septemcrenata and Phlomis aurea in the St. Katherine protectorate using a new maxent approach. In addition to identifying the principal environmental parameters, which highly affect the potential geographic distribution of Nepeta septemcrenata and Phlomis aurea in the St. Katherine protectorate. The findings presented that the assessment distribution of Nepeta septemcrenata and Phlomis aurea is concentrated in the high-mountain region in SKP. While the driest quarter's precipitation, the coldest quarter's precipitation, the warmest quarter's mean temperature, the coldest quarter's mean temperature, and elevation all had a role in Nepeta septemcrenata distribution. The coldest quarter's mean temperature, the driest quarter's mean temperature, precipitation seasonality, the warmest quarter's mean temperature, all had a role in the distribution of P. aurea. Additionally, the highly suitable ecological conditions for Nepeta septemcrenata cover about 200.5 km2 from the total protectorate area, while the highly suitable ecological conditions for Phlomis aurea cover only 104.1 km2. This work may help in conservation planning for these threatened and endemic species.
