Modeling population dynamics, landscape structure, and management decisions for controlling the spread of invasive plants

摘要: Invasive plants cause substantial economic and environmental damage throughout the world. However, eradication of most invasive species is impossible and, in some cases, undesirable. An alternative to slow spread an species, which can delay impacts or reduce their extent. We identify three main areas where models are used extensively study plant its management: (i) identifying key drivers better target management, (ii) determining role spatial structure landscapes plays invasions, (iii) integrating management structures limitations guide implementation control measures. show how these components have been approached ecological literature as well potential for improving practices. Particularly, we argue that scientists help managers by providing information about invasion on base decisions (i ii) modeling decision process through optimization agent-based (iii). Finally, approaches be articulated integrative studies.
