How Kudzu Affects Biodiversity in Southeast USA
Abstract (300 words maximum)
My project is about how kudzu in Southeast U.S. is affecting biodiversity. The goals of these maps are to show how important biodiversity is for ecosystems. The Southeast of the U.S. specifically is the most abundant source of biodiversity and this area deals with a lot of farming. Tracking the outcome of kudzu affecting biodiversity will tell people how much of a problem this could be left unresolved. Farmers will benefit from using these maps as it will help them know the effect of kudzu and how to fix the problem of these invasive species.
