Скачать или смотреть Invasive Species Data Sharing for Effective Landscape Level Management Workshop

The goal of the workshop is to agree upon principles and a work plan for moving data sharing forward and strengthening our collective ability to implement effective landscape-level management. Effective management of invasive species at the landscape level requires broad landscape-level species distribution data. But we rarely have this broad information, and the information we do have is dispersed among many land management players. Data sharing among land managers has the potential to greatly increase our management effectiveness at the regional, national, and even continental level. While we have the technical capability to aggregate local datasets into landscape-level online mapping systems, we need agreement on how to undertake aggregation and an organized plan for doing it.

Presenters will review current status within each country in North America, highlight case studies of effective management at a landscape scale, and highlight how efforts have improved modeling efforts to predict invasions. Workshop attendees will then identify technical and institutional barriers to sharing data, and determine a path to overcoming these obstacles. We expect to leave the meeting with a resolution on data standards and sharing, and a draft work plan for a data-sharing initiative.
