Forecasting spread and impact to inform pre-import decisions

چکیده
Introduction In a bioeconomic framework of addressing the threat of invasive species, one of the objectives my research program is to provide estimates of the regional economic and ecological impact an invasive species will potentially inflict upon a region. Achieving this objective requires addressing four steps: 1) estimate the potential habitat, 2) predict the spread, 3) estimate economic and ecological impacts, and 4) determine the regional consequences of spread through the economy and ecosystem. This summary focuses on the spread and ecological impacts of invasive species to help inform pre-import decisions.

متن کاملEstimation of seed viability constants for tall wheatgrass, cocksfoot, rye, and sheep fescue to inform gene banking decisions. Hamid Reza Eisvand
Stored seeds deteriorate over time and must be regenerated to ensure that the benefits of ex situ conservation are realized. Prediction of seed longevity is based on the seed viability equation. This equation has four constants which are species specific. The aim of this project is the estimation of these constants and prediction of regeneration frequency for Elytrigia elongata, Dactylis glomer...
