Dataset for “Remote sensing of invasive alien plant species: A review of species detectability, sensors, and monitoring approaches (2000–2025)”

This dataset supports a structured review of remote sensing applications for invasive alien plant species published between 2000 and 2025. It contains a harmonised extraction database of empirical studies, including bibliographic information, target species, sensor and platform characteristics, spectral index codes, analytical methods, validation approaches, reference-data provenance, reported accuracy metrics, study-area characteristics, and geographic information. Supporting code tables document the harmonisation of sensors, species, spectral indices, and method families used in the review.
