Is the use of drones cost-effective and efficient in detecting invasive alien trees? A case study from a subtropical coastal ecosystem

We present in this paper the assessment of the effectiveness of using drones to detect invasive pines in a protected area in a coastal ecosystem of southern Brazil.

Estimating yield and control costs of Pinus spp. invasions – a case study in a municipal protected area in Atlantic Forest, Florianópolis, Brazil

Despite the higher individual cost, isolated pine trees must be controlled first to avoid higher future costs from abundant seed spread.

Citizen engagement in the management of non-native invasive pines: Does it make a difference?

We present in this paper the assessment of the effectiveness of a volunteer program for the control of invasive pines in a protected area (PA) in a coastal zone of southern Brazil.
