Sieb. et Zucc, a vascular plant species, is believed to possess pharmacological properties including anti-fatigue and immunoenhancement. However, its distribution data is limited. Owing to the prospective medicinal relevance of this species, we proposed a comprehensive investigation for conservation and utilization. In this study, we aimed to scrutinize the plant holistically, ranging from the macroscopic to microscopic level. Specifically, we developed an ecological model using 51 records of subjected to seven environmental conditions. This model attained an exceptional area under curve (AUC ) value of 0.990 with a standard deviation of 0.004, and true skill statistic (TSS) value of 0.989, indicating a potently predictive capacity. Through the MaxEnt model, we completed a systematic depiction of the ecological niche of , revealing its primary global distribution. We carried out field surveys in the Changbai Mountain region to validate the model's accuracy and conducted observations focusing on the phenological attributes of , highlighting its largely subterranean existence. Factors such as seasonality of precipitation and temperature were found to sway its distribution, engendering comparably stable acclimation habitats. This research contributes to the data repository for facilitating subsequent studies on this species. Integrating botanical and ecological approaches, we proposed a more profound comprehension and evaluation of a species' behavior, survival strategies, and associations with other populations within specific habitats. Furthermore, this inclusive approach would assist in addressing pivotal environmental issues related to species conservation, biodiversity, and land development.
Sieb. et Zucc是一种维管植物，被认为具有包括抗疲劳和免疫增强在内的药理特性。然而，其分布数据有限。鉴于该物种潜在的药用价值，我们提出了一项关于其保护和利用的全面调查。在本研究中，我们旨在从宏观到微观层面全面审视该植物。具体而言，我们利用51条记录在七种环境条件下的数据建立了一个生态模型。该模型获得了异常出色的曲线下面积（AUC）值0.990，标准差为0.004，以及真实技能统计量（TSS）值0.989，表明其具有强大的预测能力。通过最大熵模型，我们完成了对该物种生态位的系统描述，揭示了其主要的全球分布。我们在长白山地区进行了实地调查以验证模型的准确性，并对该物种的物候属性进行了观察，突出了其主要地下存在的特点。发现降水和温度的季节性等因素会影响其分布，形成相对稳定的适应栖息地。本研究为数据存储库做出了贡献，以促进后续对该物种的研究。整合植物学和生态学方法，我们提出了对一个物种在特定栖息地中的行为、生存策略以及与其他种群的关联有更深刻的理解和评估。此外，这种全面的方法将有助于解决与物种保护、生物多样性和土地开发相关的关键环境问题。
