OverviewAI-generated summary
Santosh Kumar Rana's research investigates the impact of climate change on plant species distribution and diversification, particularly within the Himalayan region. His work examines how factors such as global warming and Pleistocene glaciations influence the geographic range and genetic divergence of alpine and glasshouse plant species. Rana's publications explore the existence of biogeographic barriers and their role in speciation, using genomic signatures to understand isolation patterns and paleo-climatic influences. He also studies trade patterns and resource availability in relation to the exploitation of specific plant species in the Nepalese Himalayas. His research extends to forecasting climatic suitability for grassland restoration in North America under changing environmental conditions.
