This paper presented a national-scale map of habitat suitability for tamarisk (Tamarix spp, salt cedar), a high priority invasive species. We successfully integrate satellite data and tens of thousands of field sampling point through logistic regression modeling to create a habitat suitability map that is 90% accurate. This interagency effort uses field data collected and coordinated through the US Geological Survey and nationwide environmental data layers derived from NASA’s MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)…
