Mapping the spatial distribution of species using airborne and spaceborne imaging spectroscopy: A case study of invasive plants

Predicting the spatial distribution of invasive plants remains challenging because of the complex relationships between plant invasion, abiotic, and biotic factors. While conventional species distribution models (SDMs) are often developed using abiotic factors, recent studies have suggested that including biotic factors, particularly plant functional traits, can improve our capability to model the distribution of invasive plants. Remote sensing is capable of estimating plant functional traits across large spatial extents. These remotely-estimated plant functional traits can then be used as predictors in mapping the spatial distribution of species. However, exploring the application of remotely-estimated plant functional traits in mapping the spatial distribution of invasive plants is relatively understudied. In this study, we aimed to (1) develop trait-based approaches for mapping the …
