Abstract:
Ensemble modeling of Biomod2 package was used to predict the distribution of three bamboo species in the Gongga Mountains with the survey data of occurrence locations and bioclimate dataset of WorldClim.The results reflected a clear pattern in distribution and habitat preference.
Fargesia ferax and
Bashania fangiana grew in the east part of the Gongga Mountains while
Bashania spanostachya in the west and southeast.
Bashania spanostachya was sandwiched between the higher
Bashania fangiana and lower
Fargesia ferax in elevational distribution,but stretched more extensively than the latter two species.
Bashania fangiana was distributed to the upper part of eastern valleys and forms a much narrow belt.This research would be helpful for the biodiversity conservation and regional planning of the reserve.
