Prediction of Potential Distribution Areas of Cercidiphyllum Japonicum in Shanxi Based on Maxent Model
The MaxEnt model was used to predict the potential distribution area of Cercidiphyllum japonicum in Shanxi Province.The results indicated that the average temperature in the coldest quarter precipitation in the driest month and an-nual precipitation had the greatest impact on the potential distribution of Cercidiphyllum japonicum in Shanxi Province.The potential distribution probability of Cercidiphyllum japonicum in Shanxi Province showed a trend of high in the south and low in the north,and its possible distribution range did not exceed the northernmost boundary of Taiyuan area.The potential optimal distribution areas for Cercidiphyllum japonicum in Shanxi Province were mainly Ji County,Daning County,Xiangn-ing County,Yicheng County,Jiang County,Wenxi County,Xia County,Yuanqu County,Qinshui County and Yangcheng County.
