🌿🌧️ Predicting the extent of invasive Buffelgrass is important for its management. Travis Matlock, a runner-up in the @uazlibraries 2024 #DataVisualization Challenge, in collaboration with the USA NPN, created an informative map that tracks rainfall "events" over a 30-day period to forecast buffelgrass green-up 1–2 weeks in advance. Check out the map here: https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.25705419

A map created by Travis Matlock as a product of USA National Phenology Network. It is a Raster plus Spatial Point map of Arizona that calculates the number of distinct precipiation "events" over a 30-day rolling period prior to the forecast date. The number of these events, in turn, is used to forecast areas where buffelgrass will be "greening up" in the following 1-2 weeks.

There's no debate. This is a horrid weed that threatens ecosystems across Australia #buffelgrass must be classed as a a weed of 'national significance' www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
