“…To project the potential distribution, mechanistic and semi-mechanistic models use biological information of the species, together with climatic variables and environmental stress tolerance, to define areas of climatic suitability and highlight the limiting factors for the potential distribution of the species (Kumar et al, 2014;Kearney and Porter, 2009). Knowledge of the location of a species can be used to predict tolerable climatic conditions (Silva et al, 2020). The CLIMEX software was used to elaborate on the A. palmeri model, which considers climatic conditions as the main limiting factor for species occurrence.…”
