Abstract

In the Cuitzeo basin, oaks are an indispensable part of the natural vegetation and play a crucial role in the ecological balance. However, the ecological knowledge of their threatened and endangered species is limited. The aim of this study was to model the potential distribution and to characterize the environmental conditions of three oak species belonging to the genus Quercus. Using the MaxEnt algorithm and environmental variables, geographical and environmental profiles were obtained. Results show the reliability of the models (AUC = <1) and that the potentially suitable areas for Quercus crassipes (threatened) are 2285 km², while for Q. frutex (endangered) and Q. glaucoides (threatened) are 742.44 km² and 254 km², respectively. These ideal areas are located in the south, southwest, and southeast of the basin. The resulting maps provide a view of the optimal habitat for these species and can serve as a tool for their conservation.
