Mapping potential distribution of alocasia genus (Araceae) in Kelantan using ecological niche modelling
Mapping potential species distribution has become significant tool for early prediction of species existence across a study area with aid of environmental variables and species occurrence data. In this study, formatting occurrence localities and environment data requires extensive data preparation i...
