Impact of climate change on the Distribution behavior of Alkanna orientalis in Saint Catherine, south Sinai, Egypt

Climate change significantly influences the distribution and conservation of Alkanna orientalis, a medicinal plant of high traditional and potential future value. Research indicates that shifts in climate patterns over the past decade have altered its growth behavior, necessitating dynamic conservation strategies to ensure its survival. The study analyzed the plant's current distribution and community structure in Saint Catherine, Egypt, using long-term ecological data to predict future trends. Findings suggest that understanding these changes is crucial for developing effective conservation measures that balance immediate benefits with long-term sustainability.
