Analysis of the spread distance of dandelion and invasive species

Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the distance of seed dispersal in diverse environments and explore the intricate relationship between invasive species and dandelions. Specifically, this paper intends to focus on the scenario where a single dandelion, in its “puffball” stage, is situated within an open one-hectare plot of land. The objective is to develop a mathematical model capable of predicting the dissemination of dandelions throughout 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months. This model will help people understand the temporal dynamics of dandelion expansion in a controlled setting. Furthermore, for the invasive species model, this paper proposes to initially identify and select several species known for their invasive properties. Subsequently, we will utilize modeling techniques to calculate an impact factor, which quantifies the extent to which these invasive species affect their environment.
