The moderate and high suitability areas in Xilingol, Ulanqab and Erdos all account for over 50%. Precipitation of the wettest month (Bio 13) and mean diurnal range (Bio 2) were confirmed as the key driving factors. Under the SSP2-4.5 future climate scenario, the suitable habitat range will continue to expand, with its distribution centroid shifting approximately 134 km southwestward by 2100.
