- Association Precipitation of the driest month (bio14) is the key limiting factor for the suitable distribution areas of Hibiscus mutabilis.
- Association Under low-to-medium-emission scenarios, the total suitable area of Hibiscus mutabilis first decreases and then increases compared with the current scenario.
- Association Under high-emission scenarios (SSP5-8.5), the total suitable area of Hibiscus mutabilis first increases and then decreases.
- Observation The retention rate of suitable areas for Hibiscus mutabilis ranges from 95.28% to 99.28%.
- Observation The distribution centres of Hibiscus mutabilis lie mainly in Hunan and Guizhou and shift overall towards the west and north.
- Observation Hibiscus mutabilis has a certain level of adaptability to climate change.
- Recommendation Regional drought and sudden drought events should be considered in practical cultivation and introduction of Hibiscus mutabilis.
