Assessing current and projected suitable habitats for tree-of-heaven along the Appalachian Trail [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 The invasion of ecosystems by non-native species is a major driver of biodiversity loss worldwide. A critical component of effective land management to control invasion is the identification and active protection of areas at high risk of future invasion.
