Title:
Habitat Suitability for Tamarisk Invasion in the State of Arizona

Description:
Suitability Colorbar
Abstract:
The Invasive Species Forecasting System (ISFS) is a partnership between NASA and The US Geological Survey (USGS). The ISFS combines NASA Earth observations and statistical models to enhance USGS capabilities to map, monitor and predict the spread of significant invasive plant species. This video shows the habitat suitability for a Tamarisk invasion in the state of Arizona. Tamarisk spreads quickly along riverbeds and when it sheds it's leaves, this foliage secretes salt on the soil, which hinders other plant growth. Red indicates areas that are highly suitable. Yellow indicates areas which are less suitable, and grey are areas which are not suitable.
