What determines the distribution of Tulipa species in Uzbekistan?
License: cc BY 4.0Keywords: geospatial analysis; species richness; species range; species distribution modelingAbstract Although the distribution of Tulipa species in Uzbekistan is well documented, there is no clear understanding of the importance of three classes of environmental variables, climate, soil type, and topography, as determinants of their distribution. We mapped the richness of Tulipa species in… -
