To predict the distribution of Mikania micrantha, one of the most harmful invasive plants in Guangzhou City, the author selected relevant environmental factors and established a feasible simple model based on BP neural network to use its strong nonlinear ability in this paper. From this model, it is concluded that the distribution possibility of Mikania micrantha in Liwan District, Yuexiu District and Haizhu District is near 0, which are classified as regions without invasion risk; the distribution possibility in Conghua District and Huadu District is 60% and 69.3% respectively, which are defined as regions with low invasion risk; the distribution possibility in Baiyun District, Panyu District, Zengcheng District and Nansha District are much higher, which are identified as regions with high invasion risk; while the distribution possibility in Luogang District, Tianhe District and Huangpu District are the highest, which are determined as regions with highest risk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
