| description | Bamboo is a plant that may replace plastics and wood as a new green environmental protection material that can be developed. <i>Ferrocalamus strictus</i> is a very special and rare bamboo which is a plant species with extremely small populations (PSESP) endemic to Yunnan, China, and it is listed as a China key national first-class protected wild plant. To explore the effects of extreme climate and environmental changes on this PSESP, we conducted a case study on the response of <i>F. strictus</i> to climate under two extreme future emission scenarios. We combined 29 environmental variables, including the temperature, precipitation, altitude, slope, aspect, soil pH, soil organic carbon content, and mean UV-B radiation of the highest month, to analyze the important environmental factors limiting the distribution of <i>F. strictus</i> and identified the priority conservation areas (PCAs) of <i>F. strictus</i>. Under the two future extreme climate scenarios, the core potential suitable distribution area of <i>F. strictus</i> would decrease by 26%–34% in 2040, 44%–46% in 2060, and 23%–58% in 2080, respectively. Bio18 (precipitation in the warmest quarter) and Bio3 (isotherm) were the two key factors limiting the geographical distribution of <i>F. strictus</i> (the contribution rates were 40.1% and 18.45%, respectively). The results of this study show that <i>F. strictus</i> is in urgent need of protection and PSESPs require more attention. |
