Dynamics of Potential Distribution and Cultivation Areas of <i>Plantago asiatica</i> L. Under Climate Change: A Case Study of the Uppers of Dadu River-Minjiang River Basin.

ABSTRACT: Global warming has induced significant shifts in spatiotemporal environmental patterns of plants. P. asiatica, highly prized for its edible and medicinal value, is widely harvested and utilized by residents in the upper reaches of the Dadu River and Minjiang River. This study employed ensemble models to simulate the potential distribution of P. asiatica in this region, predicting the impacts of future climate change on its distribution and niche. Additionally, a production dynamics model integrating the synergistic effects of ecological suitability and nutritional components of P. asiatica was developed to delineate its current and future potential cultivation zones. The results revealed the following: (1) Currently, both suitable habitats and cultivation zones of P
