Abstract


Paper  An ArcView-Based Application for the Management of Noxious Weed Species in Wyoming
Track: Environment Management
Author(s): Joshua H. Johnson, Jeffrey D. Hamerlinck, John Gillham

This paper describes the development of a GIS-based expert system tool for modeling the presence and spread of five noxious weed species in Wyoming (Leafy Spurge, Spotted Knapweed, Perennial Pepperweed, Hoary Cress, and Black Henbane). This tool is designed to perform three functions: determine the potential for weeds to exist in an environment; determine where these plants are likely to spread, based on weed characteristics; and assist in generating reports that will help decision making and weed control efforts.
