【 摘 要 】

The ornamental hybrid shrub, Lantana camara L. (lantana), is a serious environmental weed and has been targeted for the biologist. This paper used such approaches as Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), fuzzy decision, etc., to analyze and predict potential distribution areas of common lantana in 147 sites of China. Based on ecological properties of common lantana, we chose 5 climate ecological factors, i.e., mean annual temperature, mean temperature from March to May in a year, elevation, days with temperature greater than 25C and annual precipitation. The results showed that common lantana will continue to spread forward north China (Hunan, Hubei, etc.).
