Ecological Niche Modeling (ENM) is a very useful technique that gives us insight into species' present and future ranges, habitats, and niches. ENM have applications within conservational biology as models can be used to understand the extent to which climate change may impact a species. Additionally, ENM can be useful for prospecting for and propagation of rare plant species. This project will use ENM to create predictive range models for a rare plant species, Pediomelum aromaticum, with the goal of defining an ecological niche, determining impact of climate change, and conservation of P. aromaticum. To better understand the niche and impacts of climate change of P. aromaticum multiple models will be created and compared using current climate data and predicted future climate data based on different shared socioeconomic pathways.
