Description

This dataset is a snapshot of the Global Naturalized Alien Flora (GloNAF) database, version 2.01.  GloNAF is a continuously updated, curated compilation of alien naturalized vascular plant inventories for geographic regions from around the world. The dataset has 16,469 unique taxa reported as naturalized or invasive and covers 1,343 regions (including 427 islands) from 336 data sources. For each region, the status (invasive, naturalized) is provided as listed in the original source.  We provide the scientific names included with the original data source, and the matching accepted name or synonym of the taxon as given in the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) Version 12. In addition, we provide an ESRI shapefile of polygons for each region.
