Environment Canterbury set the task at MISG to model this spread, and thus provide a basis for prioritising control operations on a limited budget. The study group provided increased understanding of topographic and climatic factors involved in seed dispersal, and of the distribution of the resulting seed rain. In addition a simulation framework was developed for comparing the effectiveness of different control strategies. date: 2004 type: Study Group Report type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://miis.maths.ox.ac.uk/miis/44/1/misg2004conifers.pdf format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://miis.maths.ox.ac.uk/miis/44/2/misg2004conifers_efs.pdf identifier: Roberts, Mick and North, Heather (2004) Modelling the spreading of wilding conifers.
