Abstract

The allocation of resources to manage invasive species is decided by multiple land managers. However, these decisions are commonly made without full knowledge of, and access to, information about the landscape beyond the immediate areas of interest. Consequently, many decisions on pest management are made without consideration of other invaded areas by individuals who may not appreciate the broader implications. Landscape scale modelling can be enhanced through high speed species dispersal modelling combined with table sized interactive visualisation technologies that can incorporate large volumes of spatial data to better inform the decision-making process. This paper presents a project that combines these modelling and visualisation technologies so multiple stakeholders can engage with, and assess, interactions simultaneously. Then, pest management decisions can be based on a wider ecological and economical perspective.
