Bio-Ecological Indicators for <i>Gentiana pneumonanthe</i> L. Climatic Suitability in the Iberian Peninsula.

ABSTRACT: Gentiana pneumonanthe L., a wetland specialist and exclusive host of the Alcon Blue (Phengaris alcon), is highly vulnerable to climate change. This study assessed the future climate suitability of the Iberian Peninsula (IP) for G. pneumonanthe. From 14 bioclimatic variables (ISIMIP3b, processed by CHELSA method at 1 km²) and two topographic variables, four bio-ecological indicators were selected using Pearson correlation and Variance Inflation Factors: Thermicity Index, Ombrothermic Index, Accumulated summer precipitation from June to August, and Maximum of the daily maximum temperature of August. A species distribution model platform (Biomod2) was applied for historical (1995-2014) and future periods (2041-2060, 2081-2100) under two anthropogenic radiative
