摘要

Invasive alien species pose a significant threat to biodiversity, ecosystem integrity, and economic stability. Monitoring and managing invasive alien species has become essential, and recent advances offer a multifaceted approach to technologies ranging from pixels in remote sensing images to molecules in genetic analysis. Advances in high-resolution and hyperspectral data support accurate mapping of species-specific vegetation characteristics, enabling the identification of invasive species across vast landscapes. These pixel-based insights complement molecular methods from eDNA analysis to genome sequencing that offers species-specific details that are important for effective management. While remote sensing is valuable for large-scale habitat assessment and landscape-level monitoring, molecular methods offer increased specificity, sensitivity, and genetic insights that are essential for effective invasive species mapping and management. In the Anthropocene, where human activity accelerates ecological disruption, integrating these methodologies is critical to mitigate the growing impacts of invasive species on planetary health. The future of invasive alien plant species management lies in the synergy of diverse technologies to build ecosystems resilient to biological invasions.
