DOI: 10.1016/j.nonrwa.2019.02.007
Abstract: Effectively dealing with invasive species is a pervasive problem in environmental management. The damages that stem from invasive species are well known. However, controlling them cost-effectively is an ongoing challenge, and mathematical modeling and optimization… read more here.
