Orchids are an endangered plant group, protected in the whole world. Questions of their conservation are therefore highly discussed, but not all factors affecting their survival and distribution are known so far. The purpose of this study was to determine the environmental factors influencing the existence of certain orchid species in their localities in our model area: South Bohemia. Our data were analyzed using the MaxEnt program, which produces species distribution models and allows prediction of potential occurrence of orchids in yet-unknown localities. This program also determines the environmental factors affecting species presence. This is important for better protection of orchids, because only by knowing these factors can we find new localities or improve management plans.
