Abstract
The present work examines the potential habitat distribution of Calamus floribundus using the Maxent model in Geographic Information System(GIS) in Assam. For the prediction, 19 bioclimatic variables downloaded from the worldclim website are used. Landuse (MODIS MCD12Q1 Version 6), aspect and slope data are also used for a better prediction. The model used a Jackknife test to identify the significant environmental variables for the prediction. The predictive model shows a highly significant AUC validation statistics of 0.96. Such predictions could be used to conserve the species in present and future climatic scenarios. The present communication also deals with ecology, local uses and the current distribution of the species. A taxonomic description is also added along with photographs for easy identification.
