摘      要：We described potential changes in the geo- graphic distribution and occurrence probability of Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc. and Eleutherococcus senticosus （Rupr. et Maxim.） Maxim. in the counties of northeast China. This information was used to identify priority areas for protection and provide protection and management recommendations within each studied county. The two species were mapped in 2884 study plots throughout this region over a 4-year period （38°40＇N-53°30＇N, 115°05＇E- 135°02＇E）. We used the species distribution models （Maxent）, systematic conservation planning models （Marxan）, and Geographic Information Systems （ArcGIS 10.0）. The distributions of two species were correlated in the study area, enabling unique and economically viable joint conservation measures to be implemented. Three models were combined to identify feasible priority con- servation sites. We used local spatial statistics to assess all identified conservation areas in relation to potential climate change based shifts in the geographic distribution of the two species. Model-based conservation strategies were used to identify effective measures to protect and utilize these two tree species in the study region. This study pre- sents a novel technique for assessing wild plant distribu- tions, in addition to serving as a model for the conservation of other species within the framework of general forest management, ecological construction, and geographical surveying.
