野猪（Sus scrofa）是一种入侵物种，自20世纪初以来一直占据着大烟山国家公园。最近对植被、桅杆和收获历史的研究对我们的工作很重要。利用这些数据，一个离散的时间和空间的模型，制定代表野猪在公园的动态。对管理策略和种群的主要特征进行了调查。该模型使用观察到的桅杆变化，以帮助管理人口动态和结果表明，公园控制的努力限制了人口的增长。
Feral Hogs (Sus scrofa) are an invasive species that have occupied the Great Smoky Mountains National Park since the early 1900s. Recent studies on vegetation, mast, and harvest history were important for our work. Using these data, a model with discrete time and space was formulated to represent the feral hog dynamics in the Park. Management strategies and key characteristics of the population were investigated. The model uses observed mast variation to help govern population dynamics and results indicate that Park control efforts have limited the growth of the population.
