MODELLING POTENTIAL DISTRIBUTION OF TAXUS WALLICHIANA IN PALAS VALLEY, PAKISTAN
Abstract
Desktop modelling software in combination with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has led species distributions modelling and proving a very powerful tool. DOMAIN model was used to produce potential distribution map of Taxus wallichiana in Palas valley. A similarity index cutoff of 0.95-1 was used to define core habitat of the species. Overall accuracy of the predictive model was 87.2%. Potentially areas identified of spatial distribution of Taxus wallichiana through modeling process can be used for its in situ conservation.
