A site prioritization tool for invasive species management: Integrating diverse spatial data to improve decision making A site prioritization tool for invasive species management: Integrating diverse spatial data to improve decision making
Resource managers are tasked with protecting natural areas from invasive species with limited resources. Further, invasive management goals can vary greatly based on different management priorities specific to management agencies or taxa of interest. The site prioritization tool for invasive species management addresses these challenges by creating a platform to view and combine diverse...
