The objective of this study was to estimate geographical distribution of Halocnemum strobilaceum
and Artemisia sieberi species, finding the most important variables in the distribution of these
species, as well as understanding tolerance range of these species to environmental factors in Qum
province rangelands. Maps of the environmental variables were constructed using GIS and
Geostatistics. Then predictive maps of species distribution using maximum entropy method (Maxent)
and presence data species were made. The correspondence of predictive and actual maps was
evaluated using Kappa coefficient. As well as, . . . . .
