Abstract
Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) is an invasive species on the Sewanee Domain; planted as a solution to soil erosion, as an ornamental plant, and to act as a “natural fence” (USNPS, 2010). It can replace original vegetation because of fast growth, shade-tolerance, and tolerance to various soils and moistures (Hartzler, 1992). It has been seen to take hold in areas of previous clearing and disturbances (Gover, 2007). Multiflora predictions has never been mapped before on Sewanee domain.
Our study was to create a model, through the application of GIS layers, to be used for multiflora prediction.
