Randomized trial assesses habitat suitability under climate change for Bidens biternata, suggesting conservation priorities.

The study aims to evaluate how climate change impacts the potential distribution of Bidens biternata in China.
Ensemble species distribution model developed with biomod2 R package using 493 occurrence records.
Fifteen environmental predictors analyzed after collinearity screening; future scenarios projected under multiple climate pathways.
Utilized 1,000 pseudo-absence points for model calibration.
Committee-averaging model predicted habitat suitability with TSS=0.842 and AUC=0.96.
Current climate shows 2.68 × 10^5 km^2 of highly suitable habitat, primarily in eastern and southern China.
Future projections indicate a northward shift and marginally suitable habitat expansion under higher climate scenarios.

Liu et al. (2026) studied this question.
