Leslie Matrix Model For Euphorbia Hirta L Population
Author:
Abstract: Invasive species management has developed into a highly specialized field utilizing a systems approach. It requires knowledge of their life history, growth requirements, and population dynamics that integrate their biology and control. The foundation of strategic planning for the management of invasive species is laid by demographic studies, which record the birth, growth, reproduction, and death of individuals within a population. The present study makes use of the Discrete Leslie Matrix Model to analyze the growth in the age-structured population of Euphorbia hirta, an invasive species in agrosystems, identify critical stages in the species' life cycle, and project the structure and size of future population.
