Remote sensing bio-control damage on aquatic invasive alien plant species

摘要: Aquatic Invasive Alien Plant (AIAP) species are a major threat to freshwater ecosystems, placing great strain on South Africa’s limited water resources. Bio-control programmes have been initiated in an effort mitigate the negative environmental impacts associated with their presence non-native areas. Remote sensing can be used as effective tool detect, map and monitor bio-control damage AIAP species. This paper  reconciles previous current research concerning application of remote detect Initially, spectral characteristics are  described. Thereafter, potential chlorophyll content fluorescence as  pre-visual indicators reviewed synthesised. The utility multispectral and  hyperspectral sensors for mapping different severities also discussed. Popular  machine learning algorithms that offer operational classify proposed. paper concludes challenges well proposes  recommendations guide future successfully AIAP
