Monitoring the invasion of an exotic tree (Ligustrum lucidum) from 1983 to 2006 with Landsat TM/ETM + satellite data and Support Vector Machines in Córdoba, Argentina

article i nfo In central Argentina,the Chinese tree glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum) isan aggressive invasive speciesreplacing native forests, forming dense stands, and is thus a major conservation concern. Mapping the spread of biological invasions is a necessary first step toward understanding the factors determining invasion patterns. Urban areas may function as propagule sources for glossy privet because it has been used as a landscaping tree for over a cen- tury.Theobjectivesofthispaperwereto1)mapthepatternsofglossyprivetexpansionfrom1983to2006usinga
