英文摘要	Climate factors have a major influence on biodiversity patterns have often used their mean values to reflect the distribution of different organisms, reducing the faceted information of the study unit to point information, a situation that may affect the accuracy of the study results. However, there has been a lack of systematic and comprehensive discussion on regional climatic indicators and their selection. To address this, we evaluated plant distribution and meteorological data from 88 banners and counties in Inner Mongolia considering five regional climatic indicators that reflect the state of climate factors, heterogeneity, and total resources in each sampling unit. Additionally, we compared and analyzed the advantages of the regional climatic indicators over mean climate indicators to determine the dominant climate factors driving the diversity patterns of plant families, genera, and species. Our results showed that the regional climatic indicators were better than the mean values at reflecting the diversity patterns of plant families and genera. In Inner Mongolia, plant species diversity patterns were mainly influenced by total precipitation and temperature heterogeneity indicators; and concurrently, the correlation between plant family and genus diversity patterns and regional climatic indicators was also higher than the mean values. The extent to which climate explains the diversity patterns of plants increases with decreasing plant taxonomic rank. The results of this study expand the available selection and use of climate indicators in biodiversity research and deepen the understanding of the effects of climate on plant family di-versity patterns in arid and semi-arid regions. Therefore, this study provides new perspectives for the rational selection and accurate use of climate or environmental indicators in biodiversity conservation and restoration research.
