abstract={<i>Pterocarpus</i><i> </i><i>marsupium</i> is a multipurpose tree with high economic value. Due to its high commercial value, P. marsupium is susceptible to a high degree of anthropogenic pressure. Despite the enormous threats, there have been very limited concentrated efforts to address conservation concerns, such as mapping of the distribution pattern. Therefore, the present study was carried out to predict the current and future suitable distribution of P. marsupium in India using Maxent species distribution model. Output of maxent model reveal that the suitable habitat for distribution is Western Ghats and Middle part of India. Future prediction model for 2050 showed decrease of habitat area by 37.12%. The strongest predictors for the distribution of P. marsupium were Minimum temperature of the coldest month (bio 6) and Annual Precipitation (bio_12).},
