Species distribution modeling (SDM) uses environmental and climate data to predict where plant species can survive and thrive across geographic space and time. For plant scientists, SDMs are invaluable tools for understanding how shifting temperatures, precipitation patterns, and soil conditions may expand or contract the viable range of crop plants, wild relatives, and endangered flora. This approach helps researchers prioritize conservation efforts, guide crop improvement strategies, and anticipate how climate change will reshape agricultural and natural ecosystems.
