The common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is an invasive alien species native to North America that has conquered Europe since the turn of the 20th century. Despite various observations in Belgium, the species has few presence data and is not very well-known in the Walloon region. The species causes extensive health and economic damage, as it is highly allergenic cultivated weed. Spatial modelling of areas favourable to the installation would allow better sensitization, as well as targeting of samples and management of the species. This study brings together different modeling methods used in the literature in order to better understand the issues encountered by modeling invasive species. Using the presence points and the Worldclim bioclimatic rasters of the native area, a first modeling was carried out by extrapolation over the Walloon territory. A temporal extrapolation was also performed on the model, to point the impact of climate change on the potential distribution of common ragweed. A second modeling was carried out using environmental data from ‘Lifewatch Ecotope’ and the Walloon presence data, despite their poor robustness. The model was validated with the AUC index, and the results of the two models showed favorable areas over a large part of the Walloon territory in the provinces of Hainaut, Namur, Brabant Wallon and Liège. The variables constraining the extrapolated model the most are summer temperatures and precipitation as well as the variation in precipitation. The variables constraining the independent model the most are the minimum winter temperatures, the distance to the railways and the presence of soils with average drainage. The temporal extrapolation has shown that almost all of the Walloon territory will be favorable to the colonization of the common ragweed, with the exception of the east of the province of Luxembourg and the east of the province of Liège. The independent model performed less well than the extrapolated model, mainly because of the weakness of the data set used. It is important to remain attentive to the proliferation of common ragweed in the Walloon region. While it is not yet very harmful in the region, the potential damage it can cause is enough to raise as much awareness as possible among those involved in the introduction of the species and its management. It is essential to increase the number of observation points in the Walloon region in order to better understand the distribution of the species and to better fight against it in the future.

La vélocité du changement climatique est une métrique simple se calculant comme le ratio entre une variation climatique temporelle (C°/an) et une variation de température par unité de distance (C°/km). Elle exprime la vitesse à laquelle les espèces devraient migrer pour pouvoir rester sous des conditions climatiques qui leur sont favorables. Le présent travail a pour objectif d’évaluer les changements de distribution passés et futurs de l’habitat favorable des espèces de plantes vasculaires alpines ainsi que leurs risques d’extinction. Pour cela, des modèles de distribution des espèces (SDMs) ont été utilisés pour a) évaluer où la flore alpine était distribuée au dernier maximum glaciaire (LGM) et ainsi déterminer à quelle vitesse les espèces ont migré lors des changements climatiques du Quaternaire ; b) évaluer leurs risques d’extinction dans le contexte du réchauffement climatique actuel, en : (i) comparant la vitesse de migration inférée en a) avec la vélocité du changement climatique actuel dans les aires considérées et (ii) mesurant la discordance entre les aires de répartition actuelles et les aires futures ; c) identifier de potentielles zones refuges. Les principaux résultats montrent que les espèces alpines se trouvaient probablement à de plus basses altitudes au LGM qu’aujourd’hui. La projection de la niche climatique des espèces sur des couches climatiques à l’époque du LGM indique la présence d’aires qui leur étaient favorables principalement à l’extérieur des Alpes (dans les Apennins, dans les Alpes dinariques et en régions Bohême) mais aussi au sein des Alpes pour certaines d’entre elles, malgré la présence d’une couverture de glace. Les résultats ont également démontré que la vélocité du changement climatique actuel en montagne est 20 fois plus rapide que la vitesse moyenne de migration post-glaciaire des espèces alpines et que, sous un scénario de réchauffement climatique de plus de 2,6°C (par rapport à l’ère préindustrielle), les vitesses de migration requises pour pouvoir rester sous des conditions climatiques favorables surpassent les capacités dispersives de la flore alpine. Ces constats soulèvent des doutes sur leur capacité à faire face au changement climatique actuel. De plus, la moitié (51,7 ± 34,1 %) de l’aire de distribution de la flore alpine risque de disparaître d’ici 2100, ce qui met les espèces alpines directement en danger d’extinction. Néanmoins, les résultats montrent également que, même sous le scénario climatique testé le plus sévère, des aires restreintes restent ou deviennent favorables dans les Alpes pour la plupart des espèces étudiées ici. Ces aires font et feront office de refuges climatiques pour celles-ci. Il est donc primordial de prioriser ces zones dans les programmes de conservation de la biodiversité.

This book is a collection of the articles published the Special Issue of ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information on “Citizen Science and Geospatial Capacity Building”. The articles cover a wide range of topics regarding the applications of citizen science from a geospatial technology perspective. Several applications show the importance of Citizen Science (CitSci) and volunteered geographic information (VGI) in various stages of geodata collection, processing, analysis and visualization; and for demonstrating the capabilities, which are covered in the book. Particular emphasis is given to various problems encountered in the CitSci and VGI projects with a geospatial aspect, such as platform, tool and interface design, ontology development, spatial analysis and data quality assessment. The book also points out the needs and future research directions in these subjects, such as; (a) data quality issues especially in the light of big data; (b) ontology studies for geospatial data suited for diverse user backgrounds, data integration, and sharing; (c) development of machine learning and artificial intelligence based online tools for pattern recognition and object identification using existing repositories of CitSci and VGI projects; and (d) open science and open data practices for increasing the efficiency, decreasing the redundancy, and acknowledgement of all stakeholders.
