The paper presents the hazards related to invasive plant species in the area of the Mszana community, located in the Silesian Voivodeship in southern Poland. The community is of an industrial-agricultural nature. Its surface area is approx. 31.3 km?. Settlements are focused along the main roads and transportation routes. Influence of mining activity is clearly visible in the area in the form of coal waste dumping grounds, subsidence troughs and fens. Approx. 70% of its surface is occupied by arable lands, while 7% is occupied by mixed forests. An international motorway connecting Northern Europe and Southern Europe runs through the community ? the ?Amber Highway? A1.
In 2017, studies of invasive plant species and their communities were conducted in the area of Mszana using traditional geobotanic methods and remote sensing methods employing UAV ? unmanned aerial vehicles.
As a result of the studies, it was concluded that the greatest risks to ecosystems and humans are posed by the presence of the following invasive plant species: Solidago canadensis L., Impatiens glandulifera ROYLE, Impatiens parviflora DC., Reynoutria japonica HOUTT and Heracleum mantegazzianum SOMMIER & LEVIER.
