Managing invasive plant species using spatially explicit population modelling
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-21, 21:17 authored by Nicholas BeetonA user-friendly model is under development that simulates the population dynamics of invasive species, their spatial spread over time and allows the incorporation of potential management strategies to examine their effectiveness and cost. The model, named the Spatial Population Abundance Dynamics Engine (SPADE), is a collaboration of the Landscapes and Policy Hub, the Australian Alps Feral Horse Working Group and data providers for relevant case studies. Though originally designed for modelling animal species, this approach is applicable to a variety of plant species where basic life history information is available and seed dispersal occurs in a predictable, continuous fashion on the modelled scale.
