Predicted range expansion of Chinese tallow tree (Triadica sebifera) in forestlands of the southern United States

Informally Refereed

Abstract

We present an integrated approach for predicting future range expansion of an invasive species (Chinese tallow tree) that incorporates statistical forecasting and analytical techniques within a spatially explicit, agent-based, simulation framework.

Keywords

Agent-based simulation model, biological invasions, dispersal model, habitat quality, invasive species, spatial-temporal dynamics.
