Predicting habitat suitability of Dalbergia latifolia Roxb. (Indian rosewood) using MaxEnt: implications for conservation and sustainable forest management
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.
