It is endemic to the Hindu-Kush Himalayan region, distributed from Pakistan to China. The main threat to its existence is climate change and the associated change in the distribution of its suitable habitats to higher altitudes due to increasing temperature. It is therefore necessary to determine the habitats that are suitable for its survival and their expected distribution after the predicted changes in climate. To do this, we use Maxent modelling of the data for its 208 locations. We predict its distribution in 2050 and 2070 using four climate change models and two greenhouse gas concentration trajectories. This revealed severe losses of suitable habitat in Nepal, in which, under the worst scenario, there will be a 71\u201381% reduction the number of suitable locations for D. hatagirea by 2050 and 95\u201398% by 2070. Under the most favorable scenario, this reduction will be 65\u201385% by 2070. The intermediate greenhouse gas concentration trajectory surprisingly would result in a greater reduction by 2070 than the worst-case scenario. Our results provide important guidelines that local authorities interested in conserving this species could use to select areas that need to be protected now and in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/plants10030467","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,2]],"date-time":"2021-03-02T04:42:46Z","timestamp":1614660166000},"page":"467","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Suitability of Habitats in Nepal for Dactylorhiza hatagirea Now and under Predicted Future Changes in Climate"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7616-9385","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bikram","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biodiversity Research, Global Change Research Institute CAS, B\u011blidla 986\/4a, 603 00 Brno, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Institute for Environmental Studies, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Ben\u00e1tsk\u00e1 2, 128 01 Prague, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3389-9089","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Spyros","family":"Tsiftsis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forest and Natural Environment Sciences, International Hellenic University, GR-66100 Drama, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deep Jyoti","family":"Chapagain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Department of Botany, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur 44618, Nepal"},{"name":"Department of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen, 1165 Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2355-0246","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chhatra","family":"Khadka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chitwan National Park, Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation, Government of Nepal Ministry of Forests and Environment, Kathmandu 44600, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prakash","family":"Bhattarai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Department of Botany, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur 44618, Nepal"},{"name":"Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neelima","family":"Kayastha Shrestha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Natural Product Chemistry, School of Health and Allied Sciences, Pokhara University, Pokhara 33700, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Alicja Kolanowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biodiversity Research, Global Change Research Institute CAS, B\u011blidla 986\/4a, 603 00 Brno, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Geobotany and Plant Ecology, Faculty of Biology and Environmental Protection, University of Lodz, Banacha 12\/16, 90-237 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4772-1182","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pavel","family":"Kindlmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biodiversity Research, Global Change Research Institute CAS, B\u011blidla 986\/4a, 603 00 Brno, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Institute for Environmental Studies, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Ben\u00e1tsk\u00e1 2, 128 01 Prague, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Barros, V.R., Field, C.B., Dokken, D.J., Mastrandrea, M.D., Mach, K.J., Bilir, T.E., Chatterjee, M., Ebi, K.L., Estrada, Y.O., and Genova, R.C.
