Title: Rare Plants of Southeastern Hardwood Forests and the Role of Predictive Modeling

Journal Article · · Natural Areas Journal
OSTI ID:807836

Habitat prediction models for rare plants can be useful when large areas must be surveyed or populations must be established. Investigators developed a habitat prediction model for four species of Southeastern hardwood forests. These four examples suggest that models based on resource and vegetation characteristics can accurately predict habitat, but only when plants are strongly associated with these variables and the scale of modeling coincides with habitat size.
