Description:
Abstract:
The Florida Invasive Plants shapefile (FLInv) is derived from a geodatabase of observed locations for invasive, exotic plant species on public conservation lands in Florida. The exotic species therein are those listed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council as being invasive species (see "EPPC" attribute and metadata in FLInv). State (Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services) and federal (United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) rankings are also listed for the EPPC-listed species. Each point identifies at a minimum the species and date that the observation was made. Other factors such as acreage, plant distribution, reference, and eradication efforts taking place at that location are included as available.
Purpose:
Produced from Florida Invasive Plants GeoDatabase to provide a developing statewide view of current invasive exotic plant occurrences in public conservation lands and to establish an inventory and monitoring tool for policy making in natural resource management.
