Dictamnus dasycarpus Turcz., a critical traditional medicinal plant in Northeast China, faces challenges of habitat degradation and unstable quality in cultivated populations. This study systematically analyzed the key environmental drivers of its distribution and quality formation in Liaoning Province through an integrative framework combining the Maximum Entropy model (MaxEnt), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and geodetector analysis. Resultsshowed that July precipitation (Prec7), temperature seasonality (Bio4), May solar radiation (Srad5), March maximum temperature (Tmax3), and March minimum temperature (Tmin3) were core variables influencing distribution patterns. The quality of cultivated populations was primarily regulated by February mean temperature (Tmean2) and May precipitation (Prec5), while that of wild populations were predominantly affected by January mean temperature (Tmean1). By overlaying ecological suitability zones, quality partitions, and existing planting areas,
