Overview

Randomized trial evaluates climate change effects on Pinus distribution and richness, suggesting conservation strategies.

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate how climate change alters the distribution and richness patterns of Pinus species globally.
  • Utilized the MaxEnt model to predict climatic envelopes for 113 Pinus species.
  • Analyzed global occurrence records under three emission scenarios for the 2050s and 2070s.
  • Identified diversity hotspots, high-decline regions, and conservation gaps.
  • Projected a shift of climatically suitable areas for Pinus poleward due to climate change.
  • 7.96%–44.25% of species were identified as climate-vulnerable across emission scenarios.
  • Conservation gaps were primarily found in Mexico, while current protected areas cover over 92.31% of diversity hotspots.
