Assessing climatic suitability in a region is a appropriatemethod for determining that region’s potentialfor developing a specific cropping system and for managing the risk of environmental stresses includingdrought, heat, cold, and frost. To conduct this research, initially, a table of climatic requirements for medicinal plants such as Salvia officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia, and Thymus vulgaris was determined based on a review of sources. Then, the phenological stages of plants were determined based on consultation with relevant experts in the province and After collecting long-term climatic data, the climatic parameters of the region were matched with the climatic requirements of each plant. Then, the climatic suitability class for the plants in question was determined and the climatic suitability map of each plant was prepared. Based on the results approximately35.4 percent (578,650 hectares) of the province's area has severe restrictions (S3) for Salvia officinalis cultivation and development. Also, about 52 percent (858,356 hectares) of the province's area has low to moderate limitations (S1 to S2) in terms of climatic suitability for cultivating this species. Also, according to the results, 22.2 percent of the province (36,237.4 hectares) has no restrictions, 29.7 percent (484,527.2 hectares) has low restrictions, 15.4 percent (252,252.2 hectares) has medium restrictions, and 0.20 percent (326,977.9 hectares) has severe restrictions for the cultivation and development of Lavandula angustifolia in terms of climatic suitability. Also, the assessment of climatic suitability for cultivating Thymus vulgaris in the province showed that 22.1 percent of the province (361,571.87 hectares) has low limitations, 34.8 percent (569,113.63 hectares) has moderate limitations, and 30.4 percent (496,445.31 hectares) has severe limitations for cultivating and developing Thymus vulgaris.
