Abstract:Invasive alien plants (IAPs) continue to exert significant impacts on agriculture in many countries, resulting in food insecurity. IAPs reduce agricultural production through competition and parasitism with planted crops. More recently, the IAPs continue to extend their plasticity to tea plantations, especially in tropical and subtropical areas. This study thus aimed at exploring the potential of SPOT 7 and Sentinel 2 satellite data in mapping the occurrence and co-occurrence of three common IAPs Solanum mauri… Show more
