Potentials and Limitations of WorldView-3 Data for the Detection of Invasive <i>Lupinus polyphyllus</i> Lindl. in Semi-Natural Grasslands

Semi-natural grasslands contribute highly to biodiversity and other ecosystem services, but they are at risk by the spread of invasive plant species, which alter their habitat structure. Large area grassland monitoring can be a powerful tool to manage invaded ecosystems. Therefore, WorldView-3 multi...
