Paleodistribution of Cercidiphyllaceae and Future Habitat Prediction for <i>Cercidiphyllum japonicum</i> Under Climate Change.

ABSTRACT: The Earth's environment is an important factor driving the evolution and distribution of biodiversity, with particular regard to endangered species, whose special evolutionary history and ecological environment changes profoundly impact their distribution and even survival. This paper conducts a preliminary analysis of the coupling relationship between the geological history distribution pattern of plants in the Cercidiphyllaceae, a unique East Asian group, and paleoclimatic changes, exploring the evolution of Cercidiphyllaceae's geographic distribution pattern. The MaxEnt model was used to construct the potentially suitable habitats for Cercidiphyllum japonicum in different periods, such as the current and future (2050s and 2070s). Research shows that Cercidiphyllaceae once exhibit
