- Abstract
The biodiversity present in the caatinga is being increasingly degraded. Among the many factors involved in this process, the invasion of exotic species in the biome, accelerates its effects. The Carob tree, which was introduced in the Northeast in the 1940s, is an example of species considered invasive. In this context, this study identified where the species is present and determined the area occupied by it in the municipality of Fernando Pedroza. In addition, a comparison between the places where the mesquite were identified was held in the city and the areas described in professional literature as susceptible to the spread of the species in the biome. To achieve the objective described was carried out a literature search and were manipulated satellite data from Landsat-8 satellite that fueled a geographic information system. Based on the analysis of maps produced and discussed data, it can be considered that the results support the arising of many authors information indicating that the species is spreading in the bush, especially in alluvial soils of local and gallery forests. In the county the species is present in 829 hectares.
