Summary, etc. <p style="text-align: justify;">In Ethiopia, Invasive Alien Species (IAS) and their related impacts on biodiversity are increasing. The expansion rate of <em>P. juliflora</em> (Mesquite) brought economic, social and ecological problems in Afar region. The intension of the present study is to map the spatial and temporal distributions of <em>P. juliflora</em> in Afar region, Ethiopia. Mapping the temporal and spatial distributions and quantifying the invaded areas was carried out using geospatial techniques. The results showed that during the period 1985 to 2016, <em>P. juliflora</em> expands by 136 km2 Year-1annually. Its trend involves lag phase, astonishing recover after disturbance, and high infestation rate. The results of the study are helpful in making and/or implementing policies and strategies of environmental and biodiversity managements. The study suggests future studies to include ecological triggers of IAS.</p>
