What does this research mean for the field?

Under future climate and land-use changes, the suitable habitat for Schisandra chinensis in Heilongjiang Province is projected to shrink by approximately 80% by the 2090s and shift toward the Greater Khingan Range, with varying impacts on the geographic distribution of its specific medicinal components. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To assess the future habitat suitability, medicinal chemical quality, and conservation priorities of Schisandra chinensis under combined climate and land use change scenarios.

Implication

Ensemble modeling reveals severe habitat loss and divergent chemical quality shifts for Schisandra chinensis under climate change, indicating urgent needs for targeted wild tending.

Key Points

To assess the future habitat suitability, medicinal chemical quality, and conservation priorities of Schisandra chinensis under combined climate and land use change scenarios.
Integrated Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) climate projections, land use dynamics, and HPLC fingerprint data into a Biomod2 ensemble species distribution model (evaluation TSS = 0.882).
Modeled spatial distribution shifts for both overall habitat suitability and specific bioactive medicinal components (Schisandrol A, Gomisin A, and Schizandrin B).
Under the SSP5-8.5 scenario in the 2090s, suitable habitat area in Heilongjiang Province falls to 20.471% of its current extent, shifting primarily into the Greater Khingan Range region.
High-quality distribution areas for Schisandrol A and Gomisin A exhibit an expanding trend under future climate conditions, whereas the high-quality area for Schizandrin B shrinks.
Existing nature reserves cover only 4.281% of the planned conservation area, exposing critical conservation gaps in the Greater Khingan Range and Laoye Mountains.
