Land cover maps of Sierra de San Javier, Tucumán, Argentina, 1986-2018

[This dataset is embargoed until November 10, 2025]. The data resource consists of a series of land cover maps built using raster and shapefiles to evaluate the expansion of the invasive Ligustrum lucidum forest cover in Sierra de San Javier (Yungas forest ecoregion). The classification was conducted to investigate the expansion of the invasion of non-native species Ligustrum at the landscape scale and to model future management strategies using RangeShifter software. The data includes 4 maps with 8 classes of land used: Ligustrum forest; Subtropical montane forest; Dry forest; Montane grasslands; Anthropogenic grasslands and shrubland used for livestock and temporary agriculture, a mixed class including also herbaceous agriculture and low-density urban areas; Sugar cane; Citrus plantations, mostly lemon; high/medium-density urban and build up areas. The work was carried out as part of NERC grant NE/S011641/1 Optimising the long-term management of invasive species affecting biodiversity and the rural economy using adaptive management Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/4d30e697-6a97-45ed-95e6-ac4d66247284

本数据集将于2025年11月10日前保密。数据资源包括一系列利用栅格和Shapefile构建的土地覆盖图，旨在评估圣地亚哥·德·耶瓦列山脉（永加斯森林生态区）中入侵性亮叶冬青森林覆盖范围的扩张。此次分类旨在探究非原生物种亮叶冬青在景观尺度上的入侵扩张，并利用RangeShifter软件模拟未来的管理策略。数据包含4张地图，分为8种土地用途类别：亮叶冬青森林；亚热带山地森林；干旱森林；山地草原；用于畜牧业和临时农业的人工草地和灌木丛，包括草本农业和低密度城市区域；甘蔗；柑橘种植园，主要种植柠檬；高/中密度城市和建成区。该研究作为NERC资助项目NE/S011641/1“通过适应性管理优化影响生物多样性和农村经济的入侵物种的长期管理”的一部分完成。关于本数据集的详细信息，请参阅https://doi.org/10.5285/4d30e697-6a97-45ed-95e6-ac4d66247284。
