Predicting the potential distribution of <i>Phacellanthus tubiflorus</i> (Orobanchaceae): a modeling approach using MaxEnt and ArcGIS.

ABSTRACT: Phacellanthus tubiflorus Sieb. et Zucc, a vascular plant species, is believed to possess pharmacological properties including anti-fatigue and immunoenhancement. However, its distribution data is limited. Owing to the prospective medicinal relevance of this species, we proposed a comprehensive investigation for conservation and utilization. In this study, we aimed to scrutinize the plant holistically, ranging from the macroscopic to microscopic level. Specifically, we developed an ecological model using 51 records of P. tubiflorus subjected to seven environmental conditions. This model attained an exceptional area under curve (AUC ) value of 0.990 with a standard deviation of 0.004, and true skill statistic (TSS) value of 0.989, indicating a potently predictive capacity.
