V., Swarada, B., & Balakrishna, S. M. (2025). Predicting habitat suitability of Dalbergia latifolia Roxb.(Indian rosewood) using MaxEnt: implications for conservation and sustainable... BMC Ecology and Evolution, 25(1), 1-13. Dalbergia latifolia Roxb. (Indian rosewood) is a high ecological and economic value, native to India’s tropical and subtropical forests. This study presents the first high-resolution, range-wide habitat suitability assessment of across India using MaxEnt modelling. By integrating over 3,200 geo-referenced occurrence records with 19 bioclimatic variables, the research identifies key ecological zones and conservation gaps for this ecologically vital and economically valuable species. With Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu emerging as core habitats, the findings offer actionable insights for conservation prioritisation, agroforestry planning, and climate-resilient restoration. The study supports national initiatives like CAMPA and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, providing a robust spatial framework to guide sustainable forest management and policy implementation.
