Overview

This research predicts extinction risk for traditional Chinese medicinal plants, highlighting urgent conservation needs.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess extinction risks for traditional Chinese medicinal plants and guide conservation strategies.
  • Compiled a database of 580 TCM plant species and their traits
  • Utilized random forest models to identify drivers of extinction risk
  • Applied trait-based models to predict risks for unassessed species
  • Conducted spatial mapping to identify threat hotspots
  • Identified 16 of 95 unassessed species at risk of extinction
  • Species with narrower elevational ranges and shorter stature showed higher extinction risks
  • Mapped emerging threat hotspots in Guangxi and Guangdong provinces
  • Revealed significant gaps in protection for threatened TCM plants
