A Review of Machine Learning in Species Distribution Modeling under Climate Change in West Africa

Muhammad Kabir Usman, Nana Hauwa Aliyu, Ameer Abdulaleem, Seidu Mohammed, Babalola Jamiu Babatunde & Kenechukwu Henry Ngige · Asian Journal of Geographical Research · 2026

Species distribution modelling (SDM) has become a central instrument for anticipating how biodiversity is redistributed under climate change, and machine learning now supplies most of the algorithmic capacity behind these predictions. West Africa combines high climatic exposure,...
