Plant invasions are widely known to threaten numerous ecosystems by affecting native biodiversity and ecosystems services, including changing forest fires behavior and fire regimes. Global climate change, increasing human population, and transportation among countries are constant sources of increasing the invasion risks and spread of non-native plant species. Growth characteristics of invasive plant species and forest fires have an intricate relationship. The most invasive plant species are herbs and shrubs and increase the fuel load in the forest ecosystem that results in frequent forest fires. Forest fires promotes the invasion of alien plant species by providing canopy openings, reducing the cover of competing vegetation, and creating favorable soil conditions. Identification of plant invasion and invaded ecosystems, predicting the future dispersal of invasive species, and understanding landscape invasibility and associated ecological consequences through remote sensing provides understanding plant invasion patterns, impacts, and its role in the forest fire. The present paper reviewed the research works carried out so far on the interaction between plants invasion and forest fires.References
