To evaluate how species distribution models and environmental data can be used to assess evolutionary fitness and natural selection in wild plant populations.
Reviewed numerical modeling frameworks that combine species occurrence or abundance records with spatial environmental estimates.
Assessed methodologies for inferring ecological and evolutionary dynamics and projecting plant distributions across landscapes.
Species distribution models provide computational frameworks for linking spatial environmental variation with plant population occurrence and abundance.
Integrating individual fitness measurements with landscape-level ecological predictors clarifies the spatial patterns and intensity of natural selection.
