Projected compositional reorganization of Southern plant assemblages in South Korea under climate scenarios using species distribution models.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Understanding how plant communities reorganize under climate change is essential for effective biodiversity conservation and restoration. We developed a spatially explicit, multi-scenario framework to evaluate future dynamics of southern (warm-temperate and subtropical-affiliated) vascular plant assemblages in South Korea. Species distribution models generated projections under three climate scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5) across four time periods (1980-2010, 2010-2040, 2040-2070, and 2070-2100). These projections were integrated with spatial environmental clustering, kernel density estimation, and ordination-based trajectory analysis to characterize spatial persistence, compositional change, and directionality. Results revealed strong spatial heterogeneity in community responses. Environmental clusters were classified into stable, transitional, and transformational types based on the magnitude and direction of compositional change and climatic alignment. Multivariate analysis (PERMANOVA) showed that spatial cluster identity explained substantially more variation in community composition than temporal period (R² = 0.364 vs. 0.083). Stable clusters exhibited limited change and strong climatic alignment, whereas transformational clusters showed large shifts and frequent directional misalignment. Transitional clusters displayed intermediate dynamics. By jointly capturing spatial persistence, compositional trajectories, and directional coherence, this framework supports forecasting vegetation responses and climate-resilient conservation planning, with relevance to global biodiversity initiatives such as the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
