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

The data resource comprises two years of monitoring data on planted saplings, aimed at restoring native trees in invaded subtropical mountain forests (Yungas). The forests were located in the Horco Molle Experimental Reserve and Parque Sierra de San Javier, Tucumán, Argentina. The data is part of an experiment that aims to investigate the effects of management control of the invasion of non-native species, particularly Ligustrum lucidum, and other less abundant non-native species, on the dynamics of the woody community. The experiment was conducted between June 2020 and November 2023. This 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”.

[This dataset is embargoed until March 12, 2026]. The data resource consists of soil chemical measurements for two aims: 1) to characterise soils of plots where we conducted management experiences to restore secondary forests affected by invasions, and 2) to assess the impacts of tree invasions on the chemical parameters of soils., by comparing native and invaded forest plots. All plots were established on invaded sub-tropical mountain secondary forests (Yungas) in the Horco Molle experimental reserve and Parque Sierra de San Javier (Horco Molle), Tucumán, Argentina. For the first aim, we took samples from the six plots established in July 2020. Each plot is 240 metres by 140 metres, 3.36 hectares for each plot (location specified in the related dataset); for the second aim, we included plots that belong to the Red Subtropical de Parcelas Permanentes (Ceballos et al., 2022 ). Those plots are 1 ha each (100 m by 100 m) and were established in 1991, and trees are censused every five years. At each plot, we took samples at five random points (seven for the objective 1). At each point, we collected litter and soil at three different depths (0-10, 10-30, 30-50 cm) for posterior physical (bulk density) and chemical determination (organic carbon, total nitrogen, extractable phosphorus, cation exchange capacity, exchangeable cations calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium, pH) in the laboratory. The work was carried out as part of NERC-GCB grant 2022GCBCCONTAIN- Invasive alien species management to decrease impacts on biodiversity, rural poverty and carbon storage.

The following dataset contains information on saplings of woody plant species in invaded subtropical mountain forests (Yungas) over three years. The forests were located in the Horco Molle Experimental Reserve and Parque Sierra de San Javier, Tucumán, Argentina. The data was collected as part of an experiment to investigate the impact of management control on the invasion of non-native species such as Ligustrum lucidum, and other less abundant non-native species, on the dynamics of the woody community. The experiment was conducted between June 2020 and November 2023. This 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”.

The data resource consists of invasive tree species individual responses to mechanical-chemical/chemical treatments on plots established on invaded sub-tropical mountain secondary forests (Yungas). Those plots are in the Horco Molle experimental reserve and Parque Sierra de San Javier (Horco Molle), Tucumán, Argentina. The current database belongs to an experiment that we conducted to investigate management control of the invasion of non-native species Ligustrum and other exotic species to restore native tree diversity from June 2020 to November 2023. 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.
