Abstract

Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Glycyrrhiza glabra, and Glycyrrhiza inflata are significant medicinal plants in traditional Chinese medicine. They also contribute to ecological protection and restoration in the arid and semi-arid regions of Northwest China. This study employed the MaxEnt model to predict the potential habitats of these three species in China under climate change, and examined the relationship between their distribution and desert ecosystems. The results indicated that (1) G. uralensis has a broad distribution, primarily in Northeast, North, and Northwest China. Glycyrrhiza glabra and G. inflata are predominantly found in the northwest provinces. (2) Under current climate conditions, the distribution of the most suitable habitats for these species closely mirrors that of deserts. However, future climate change is expected to reduce the spatial range of all three species. (3) These three species are effective psammophytes, capable of thriving in desert margins and other highly suitable habitats on a large scale. This research offers a theoretical basis for the conservation of plant resources, the restoration and protection of desertified areas, and the advancement of deserticulture.

中国三种药用甘草的适宜生境预测和荒漠化景观修复潜力。

乌拉尔甘草、光甘草和扁甘草是重要的中药药用植物。对西北干旱半干旱区的生态保护和恢复也有重要作用。利用MaxEnt模型预测了气候变化下这三种植物在中国的潜在栖息地，并分析了它们的分布与沙漠生态系统的关系。结果表明：(1)乌拉尔山竹分布广泛，主要分布在东北、华北和西北地区；光甘草和扁甘草主要分布在西北省份。(2)在当前气候条件下，这些物种最适宜栖息地的分布与沙漠的分布密切相关。然而，未来的气候变化预计会减少这三个物种的空间分布范围。(3)这三个物种是有效的沙生植物，能够在沙漠边缘和其他高度适宜的栖息地大规模生长。本研究为植物资源的保护、沙漠化地区的恢复与保护、沙漠化农业的发展提供了理论依据。

期刊介绍： We publish original research from all areas of the natural sciences, psychology, medicine and engineering. You can learn more about what we publish by browsing our specific scientific subject areas below or explore Scientific Reports by browsing all articles and collections. Scientific Reports has a 2-year impact factor: 4.380 (2021), and is the 6th most-cited journal in the world, with more than 540,000 citations in 2020 (Clarivate Analytics, 2021). •Engineering Engineering covers all aspects of engineering, technology, and applied science. It plays a crucial role in the development of technologies to address some of the world''s biggest challenges, helping to save lives and improve the way we live. •Physical sciences Physical sciences are those academic disciplines that aim to uncover the underlying laws of nature — often written in the language of mathematics. It is a collective term for areas of study including astronomy, chemistry, materials science and physics. •Earth and environmental sciences Earth and environmental sciences cover all aspects of Earth and planetary science and broadly encompass solid Earth processes, surface and atmospheric dynamics, Earth system history, climate and climate change, marine and freshwater systems, and ecology. It also considers the interactions between humans and these systems. •Biological sciences Biological sciences encompass all the divisions of natural sciences examining various aspects of vital processes. The concept includes anatomy, physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and biophysics, and covers all organisms from microorganisms, animals to plants. •Health sciences The health sciences study health, disease and healthcare. This field of study aims to develop knowledge, interventions and technology for use in healthcare to improve the treatment of patients.
