摘要

We develop a spatially explicit age-structured model to study the invasion dynamics of plant species, integrating habitat quality, demographic structure, and seed dispersal. Our approach incorporates continuous age structuring and explicitly derives a habitat-quality-dependent invasion threshold, \(\mathcal {T}_0(q)\) , which determines whether a species can establish ( \(\mathcal {T}_0(q)> 1\) ) or extinct ( \(\mathcal {T}_0(q)\le 1\) ). This threshold encapsulates three fundamental components of biological invasions: (i) biotic factors, (ii) abiotic conditions, and (iii) dispersal capacity. Our model is applied to the invasion of black cherry (Prunus serotina) in France, using empirical data to simulate spatio-temporal invasion dynamics.
