Abstract

A key requirement for effective weed management is the ability to identify, map and monitor
invasions. Field mapping techniques associated with satellite imagery are commonly used for mapping of
invasive plants distribution, directing eradication efforts. The objectives of this study was to map populations
of A. donax in the Federal District, Brazil. The field data collection for A. donax mapping was carried out from
March 2010 to October 2012. The field data was combined with remote sensing to determine the species
occurrence. It was observed that the highest concentration of A. donax is in the central region of the Federal
District, where most of the Protected Areas are located. It was also observed that the presence of this species
is related to disturbed areas, such as highways, landfills, deposits of debris and construction sites, and an
important dispersal vector are mowing activities. This survey is pioneer for A. donax in the Federal District
and in Brazil, besides being important for future management strategies, as well as for monitoring the spread
of this species
