Biophysical drivers for predicting the distribution and abundance of invasive yellow sweet clover in the Northern Great Plains Yellow sweetclover (Melilotus officinalis; YSC), an invasive biennial legume, bloomed throughout the Northern Great Plains (NGP) following greater-than-average precipitation during 2018-2019. YSC can increase nitrogen (N) levels and potentially cause broad changes in the composition of native plant species communities. There is little knowledge of the drivers behind its spatiotemporal variability, including conditions causing significant widespread blooms across western South Dakota (SD). We aimed to develop a generalized prediction model to map the relative abundance of YSC in suitable habitats across rangelands of western SD for the recent sweet clover year 2019. The following research questions were asked: 1.... Tags: BIOMOD2, Ensemble model, Habitat suitability model, Land Use Change, Minnesota, All tags...
