Satellite-derived vegetation indices contribute significantly to the prediction of epiphyllous liverworts

•The spatial distribution of epiphyllous liverworts in China is predicted.•Six core distribution areas of epiphyllous liverworts across China are found.•The macro-habitat factors that affect epiphyllous liverwort distribution are identified.•Satellite vegetation indices are the most important predic...
