In order to identify the suitable distribution area of Choerospondias axillaris in China and its response to climate change,the current and future geography distribution patterns of C.axillaris were simulated by using MaxEnt model based on 32 environmental variables and 196 distribution records,and the dominant environmental factors were detected by the model.The results showed that the suitable area for C. axillaris was ca.113.25*10~4 km~2,and the most suitable distribution areas was located in Mt. Nanling,Mt. Mufu,Mt. Luoxiao, Mt. Dalou,Mt. Wuyi,Mt. Tianmu,Mt. Wuling and Yungui Plateau. Jackknife Test indicated that low temperature and ground-frost frequency had great contribution to the distribution for C. axillaris.In the context of future global warming(RCP2.6),the suitable area of C. axillaris expanded and moved northward(except in eastern Tibet and Yunnan). We indicate predicted that the future climate change has little effect on the geographical distribution pattern of C. axillaris. Plantation of C. axillaris has great application potential in China.
