OverviewAI-generated summary
Santosh Kumar Rana's research focuses on the intersection of ethnobotany, biodiversity conservation, and the impacts of climate change, particularly within the Himalayan region. His work investigates the traditional knowledge of medicinal plants and their use by local communities, while also assessing the threats posed by environmental shifts to plant distribution and sustainability. Rana has published studies on predicting climate-change impacts on threatened medicinal plant species, analyzing plant endemism, and understanding the genetic connectivity of plant populations in response to geoclimatic factors. His research utilizes species distribution models and phylogeographic approaches to inform conservation strategies for valuable plant resources. Rana's work contributes to understanding how human culture and environmental science interact in biodiversity hotspots.
