  • Suitable habitat is vital for the survival and restoration of a species. Understanding the suitable habitat range for lycophytes and ferns is prerequisite for effective species resource conservation and recovery efforts. In this study, we took Athyrium brevifrons as an example, predicted its suitable habitat using a Maxent model with 67 occurrence data and nine environmental variables in Northeast China. The area under the curve (AUC) value of independent test data, as well as the comparison with specimen county areal distribution of A. brevifrons exhibited excellent predictive performance. The type of environmental variables showed that precipitation contributed the most to the distribution prediction, followed by temperature and topography. Percentage contribution and permutation importance both indicated that precipitation of driest quarter (Bio17) was the key factor in determining the natural distribution of A. brevifrons, the reason could be proved by the fern gametophyte biology. The analysis of high habitat suitability areas also showed the habitat preference of A. brevifrons:comparatively more precipitation and less fluctuation in the driest quarter. Changbai Mountains, covering almost all the high and medium habitat suitability areas, provide the best ecological conditions for the survival of A. brevifrons, and should be considered as priority areas for protection and restoration of the wild resource. The potential habitat suitability distribution map could provide a reference for the sustainable development and utilisation of A. brevifrons resource, and Maxent modelling could be valuable for conservation management planning for lycophytes and ferns in Northeast China.

Abstract: Suitable habitat is vital for the survival and restoration of a species. Understanding the suitable habitat range for lycophytes and ferns is prerequisite for effective species resource conservation and recovery efforts. In this study, we took Athyrium brevifrons as an example, predicted its suitable habitat using a Maxent model with 67 occurrence data and nine environmental variables in Northeast China. The area under the curve (AUC) value of independent test data, as well as the comparison with specimen county areal distribution of A. brevifrons exhibited excellent predictive performance. The type of environmental variables showed that precipitation contributed the most to the distribution prediction, followed by temperature and topography. Percentage contribution and permutation importance both indicated that precipitation of driest quarter (Bio17) was the key factor in determining the natural distribution of A. brevifrons, the reason could be proved by the fern gametophyte biology. The analysis of high habitat suitability areas also showed the habitat preference of A. brevifrons:comparatively more precipitation and less fluctuation in the driest quarter. Changbai Mountains, covering almost all the high and medium habitat suitability areas, provide the best ecological conditions for the survival of A. brevifrons, and should be considered as priority areas for protection and restoration of the wild resource. The potential habitat suitability distribution map could provide a reference for the sustainable development and utilisation of A. brevifrons resource, and Maxent modelling could be valuable for conservation management planning for lycophytes and ferns in Northeast China.
