Diachronic Mapping of Invasive Plants Using Airborne RGB Imagery in a Central Pyrenees Landscape (South-West France)

The rapid spread of invasive plant species (IPS) over several decades has led to numerous impacts on biodiversity, landscapes, and human activities. Early detection and knowledge on their spatiotemporal distribution is crucial to better understand invasion patterns and conduct appropriate activities for landscape management. Therefore, remote sensing has great potential for detecting and mapping the spatial spread of IPS. This study presents a mapping of IPS (Reynoutria japonica and Impatiens glandulifera) over the last decade on two sites located in the central Pyrenees in the southwest of France, created using very high-resolution RGB aerial photographs. A supervised classification based on the random forest algorithm was performed using pixel attributes. The original spectral bands (RGB) were used, to which vegetation indices …
