IPBES IAS assessment, data management report for Chapter 2. Global occurrence data of alien species

IPBES thematic assessment of invasive alien species and their control chapter 2 “Trends and Status” uses this database for generating figures and tables of this chapter. The database contains information about the records of alien species in a country or sub-national units such as islands or states and provinces including information about their status (i.e., invasive, established) and the year of their first recording. The database has been built using seven published and freely available global databases of alien species occurrences. These databases have been standardised and integrated using a published workflow implemented in the statistical computer language R.
