Bamboo species can grow in areas where the climate and soil are suitable for their environmental requirements. A geographic information system (GlS)-based program can display the potential areas suitable for each species according to the bamboo climate and soil requirements, and can also show all potential species for a specific site to grow. International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR) is conducting simple climatic cross-mapping of the natural distribution with potentially suitable sites elsewhere around the world. This paper shows a brief description on how this task will be completed.
