title: [Study on suitability regionalization producing area of vulnerable species Acanthopanax senticosus based on TCMGIS].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the suitable regions of Acanthopanax senticosus and provide the basis for its resource census, reservation, wild nature and cultivation.
  
  
  METHODS
  The traditional Chinese medicine geographic information system (TCMGIS) was used to select the suitable producing areas.
