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
