Database of field studies on environmental impacts of invasive plant species in Europe

Description :

 There is great concern on the effects of non-native species impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services. We constructed a comprehensive database of the scientific papers on field studies reporting environmental impacts of invasive plant species in Europe. We searched for relevant articles on the Web of Science database until the end of 2022 with no restriction on publication year. Our final dataset included 266 publications on 897 impacts of 104 invasive plant species on native species, communities and ecosystem properties in 29 European countries. This database contributes to the IPBES Global Invasive Alien Species Assessment.

Project :
Title : Sustainability for Mediterranean Hotspots in Andalusia integrating LifeWatch ERIC (SUMHAL). Work package 4 (WP4): Combining field data, citizen science and loT to monitor anthropogenic impacts on Andalusian biodiversity and society.
Abstract : It focuses on anthropogenic impacts that are of great global concern and therefore relevant not only to Andalusian and Spanish ecosystems and societies, but also to Europe as a whole.
Funding : This study was funded by MICINN through European Regional Development Fund [SUMHAL, LIFEWATCH-2019-09-CSIC-04, POPE 2014-2020]
