- Method / resource The species distribution models for S. foetida showed high accuracy, with mean AUC of 0.98.
- Observation S. foetida has a broad ecological niche, with high suitability in tropical and subtropical regions.
- Association The probability of occurrence of S. foetida correlates positively with maximum temperature of the warmest month, mean temperature of the wettest quarter and precipitation of the wettest month.
- Observation Low suitability covered 14.12% of the total study area for S. foetida.
- Observation Moderate suitability covered 8.71% of the total study area for S. foetida.
- Observation High suitability covered 15.02% of the total study area for S. foetida.
- Observation Under SSP1-2.6 for 2041-2060, S. foetida showed a slight loss of 0.24% in potential distribution.
- Observation Under SSP5-8.5 for 2041-2060, S. foetida showed a slight loss of 0.25% in potential distribution.
- Observation Under SSP1-2.6 for 2041-2060, S. foetida showed a moderate gain of 1.98% in potential distribution.
- Observation Under SSP5-8.5 for 2041-2060, S. foetida showed a moderate gain of 2.12% in potential distribution.
- Observation Under the low scenario SSP1-2.6 in the far future (2061-2080), S. foetida showed a 0.29% loss and a 2.52% gain in distribution.
- Observation Under the low scenario SSP1-2.6 in the far future (2061-2080), S. foetida showed a 2.52% gain.
- Observation Under the high scenario SSP5-8.5 in the far future, S. foetida showed a more dramatic increase in loss area (0.6%).
- Observation Under the high scenario SSP5-8.5 in the far future, S. foetida showed a more dramatic increase in gain area (3.79%).
