Investigating the Invasion Pattern of the Alien Plant Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. (Silverleaf Nightshade): Environmental and Human-Induced Drivers

“…The presence and absence layer (hereafter distribution cells of S. elaeagnifolium ) comprised 15,723 km 2 in total (11.9% of the Greek territory). This was the basal layer to which data layers from selected geodatabases on environmental variables were added ( Supplementary S2 ), following previously published methodology, i.e., point sampling and linking in a GIS environment over multiple polygon and raster layers extracted from selected thematic geodatabases with a resolution of 1 km 2 [ 51 , 52 ].…”

“…The following are available online at , Supplementary S1: Partial inventories of Solanum elaeagnifolium conducted in different prefectures of Greece during the period 2000–2015, and their verification year confirming its current status of invasion (2016–2020); Supplementary S2: Selected geodatabases linked with the distribution (grid cells) of Solanum elaeagnifolium in Greece; Supplementary S3: Profile of nonbiotic parameters for the noninvaded and invaded areas by Solanum elaeagnifolium in Greece after linking multiple raster layers extracted from selected geodatabases in a GIS environment. For methodology used, see [ 52 , 53 ].…”

“…Then point sampling was performed for each collection site on multiple raster and polygon layers, and the collection site was linked accordingly with several digital geodatabases which furnished topographic, terrain, climatic (mean values for the last 50 years), land cover, soil, and habitat data for the original collection site of C. incurva (for description of the methodology used, see Krigas et al 2010Krigas et al , 2012. All this quantitative and qualitative information was summarized into an ecological fact sheet for C. incurva ( Figure 3).…”

“…Geographical information systems application and cultivation of mother plants As a first step to understand the ecological requirements of the species under study, the geographical coordinates of the original collection site of C. incurva captured in the wild using handheld global positioning systems trackers were imported as point layer into the geographical information systems (GIS) application developed by Krigas et al (2010Krigas et al ( , 2012. Then point sampling was performed for each collection site on multiple raster and polygon layers, and the collection site was linked accordingly with several digital geodatabases which furnished topographic, terrain, climatic (mean values for the last 50 years), land cover, soil, and habitat data for the original collection site of C. incurva (for description of the methodology used, see Krigas et al 2010Krigas et al , 2012.…”
