Modeling distribution of high-priority exotic plant species on the Olympic Peninsula
Jones CC and Halpern CB. 2007. Modeling distribution of high-priority exotic plant species on the Olympic Peninsula. University of Washington. Seattle, WA
From the Executive Summary: "In this project we modeled the potential distributions of five invasive species of concern in Olympic National Park: Cirsium arvense (Canada thistle), Geranium robertianum (herb Robert), Hedera helix (English ivy), Ilex aquifolium (English holly), and Rubus laciniatus (evergreen blackberry). We compared models for each species created using logistic regression, GARP and ENFA. For three of the species we compared these models with those based on the distributions of species in other invaded areas and in species' native ranges. Our goal was to predict the potential distributions of these five species on the Olympic Peninsula and to assess the potential of HDMs to aid in designing monitoring protocols for Olympic National Park."
