Description
The Pacific region has the highest density of naturalized plant species worldwide, which makes it an important area for research on the ecology, evolution and biogeography of biological invasions. While different data sources on naturalized plant species exist for the Pacific, there is no taxonomically and spatially harmonized database available for different subsets of species and islands. A comprehensive, accessible database containing the distribution of naturalized vascular plant species in the Pacific will enable new basic and applied research for researchers and will be an important information source for practitioners working in the region. Here, we present PacIFlora, an updated and taxonomically standardized list of naturalized species, their unified nativeness, cultivation and invasiveness status, and their distribution across the Pacific Ocean, including harmonized location denomination. This list is based on the two largest databases on naturalized plants for the region, specifically the Pacific Island Ecosystems at Risk (PIER) and the Global Naturalized Alien Flora (GloNAF) databases. We provide an outlook for how this database can contribute to numerous research questions and conservation efforts.
Notes
All additional information can be found in the associated data paper published in the Biodiversity Data Journal. Species are listed as NA if the LCVP was not able to assign a valid species name. Islands are listed as "NA" if the original precision was not sufficient or the island could not be located.
The following formats are provided:
PacIFlora - Full list format of all records (species x island, including records with no information on island but just island group level and records that could not be identified by the LCVP).
An island × species matrix, excluding records that were missing information. Specifically, this list does not include data that have no island information, or species that could not be identified by the LCVP.
An aggregated island group × species matrix.
A table to access reference IDs, Suppl. material 3.
List format of PacIFLora on island level, excluding all records with no information on island but just island group level and records that could not be identified by the LCVP.
List format of PacIFLora on island group level, excluding all records that could not be identified by the LCVP and providing aggregated values for naturalization, cultivation and invasion status.
