Prioritized lists of alien species in Belgium and its regions

Dataset

Description

This dataset contains the outputs of the pipeline that prioritizes alien species based on their emergence status. This prioritization is built upon the information contained in: The Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species - Belgium (GRIIS Belgium) which is published by the IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) based on the unified checklist of alien species in Belgium which was created by TrIAS in support of research and policy using an open and reproducible workflow. The species occurrence cube for non-native taxa in Belgium. We provide two different prioritization strategies: hierarchical ranking and point strategy. We do the prioritzation for both Belgium and its three regions separately: Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels. Only the prioritization for Belgium takes into account the emergence status (number of occurrences and observed occupancy) in Natura2000 protected areas.
