Santosh Kumar Rana Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Santosh Kumar Rana's research primarily investigates plant species distribution and diversification, with a focus on the impact of climate change and geological events in regions such as the Himalayas and Hengduan Mountains. His work explores the genetic signatures of isolation and paleo-climatic influences on plant populations, examining how events like Pleistocene glaciations contribute to speciation and temporal diversification. Rana also contributes to understanding resource availability and exploitation patterns, particularly concerning medicinal plants in the Nepalese Himalayas. His recent publications include studies on alpine 'glasshouse' species, the biogeographic barriers affecting plant divergence, and the forecasting of climatic suitability for grassland restoration in North America. Rana has published 36 papers, accumulating 656 citations and an h-index of 14.
