[Geographical distribution and bioclimatic characteristics of the wild Gentiana rigescens resources.]
摘要
, which accounted for 92.46% of total suitable distribution region in China. Solar radiation (March, June and August), temperature annual range, mean temperature of warmest quarter, mean precipitation of October and November, precipitation of driest quarter were the major climatic factors influencing the geographi-cal distribution of G. rigescens. Results from partial least squares regression analysis showed that solar radiation (March, June and August), temperature annual range, mean precipitation of October and November, precipitation of driest quarter were the main restriction factors in north and east of suitable distribution region. The main restriction factors in south of suitable distribution region were solar radiation of June, mean temperature of warmest quarter, precipitation of October and November. The factors limiting distribution of G. rigescens to basin of Sichuan and Guangxi were solar radiation, temperature annual range, mean temperature of warmest quarter, annual biotempe-rature and annual potential evapotranspiration. In conclusion, suitable distribution region of G. rigescens primarily located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, where subtropical humid climate was most suitable for its growth.
