Then the <br>management methods of the species are seriously required. In 2019, the invasion of the species was reported <br>at Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The vegetation of the species was grown up to 449 m2 for 5 years. However, the <br>relationship between the habitation of the species and environmental factors remains unclear. Therefore, we <br>made a habitat prediction model using GLM (general linear model) to define the environment of the S. <br>alterniflora habitat of Aichi Pref., incorporating data in 2019. That measured population density, location, <br>ignition loss of physical environmental data, pH, NaCl concentration and altitude over the sea level by us. Our <br>analysis showed that the standardization parameter altitude over the sea level was the main effect in the <br>predictive model (estimate 4.158) and had the greatest absolute value. And the Wald value is significantly large <br>(42.426). Secondary the reciprocal relationship expression between the altitude and pH was high value, 1.007. <br>The species likes the habitat that altitude is high and pH is 7.1-7.3. For the GLM, we made the distribution for <br>the species, the reappearance is well done. Then the avoidance of the species expansion, the bank of the tidal <br>area should erase the higher riverbed</p>}, number={79}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={Michiko Masuda and Tetsuya Morioka and Fumitake Nishimura}, year={2021}, month={Mar.}, pages={62–67} }
