Prioritizing terrestrial invasive alien plant species for management in urban ecosystems
<p>1. Invasive alien plant species (IAPs) in urban areas can have detrimental effects on biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being. Urban areas are complex social management mosaics with high land-use diversity, complex land tenure patterns, and many different stakeholder groups, some of which derive benefits from invading species. Urban conservation practitioners face complex decisions about which IAPs require management. Yet most IAPs prioritization frameworks have been designed for and implemented in natural or rural areas and are generally inadequate for guiding effective and sustainable interventions in urbanized areas.</p> <p>2. We modified an existing prioritization scheme to develop a framework for prioritizing terrestrial IAPs in urban areas which applies evidence-based (data-driven) and stakeholder-based (local knowledge) assessments to score and rank alien plant species in terms of their priority for management using an objective set of criteria.</p> <p>3. The framework consists of forty-six criteria, grouped into eight modules which assess invasion status, habitat requirements, biological characteristics, dispersal ability, distribution, impact (positive and negative), and potential for control for each alien plant species under consideration.</p> <p>4. We use the city of Toronto, Canada as a case study to test our framework – a list of 50 IAPs were effectively scored and ranked in order of high to low priority for control. Species with the highest <i>total prioritization scores</i> were <i>Vincetoxicum</i> <i>rossicum</i> (Dog Strangling Vine), <i>Convolvulus</i> <i>arvensis</i> (Field Bindweed) and <i>Taraxacum</i> <i>officinale</i> (Common Dandelion) (ranked 1, 2 and 3, respectively).</p> <p>5. Many of the identified high priority species align with the those previously flagged as of management concern by conservation practitioners, but also include those that are not actively managed due to their perceived lower ecological impacts. These species still require high resource investment for other objectives such as aesthetics. This highlights the complexity of alien plant species management in urban areas.</p> <p>6.<i> Synthesis and applications. </i>Prioritizing invasive alien plants for management in urban areas is particularly challenging due to often conflicting ecological, economic, and social objectives. We use available evidence and local stakeholder knowledge to develop an objective and systematic prioritization tool which can assist conservation practitioners in selecting priority species for management action in complex urban landscapes.</p>

EO4Diversity: Experimental Dataset - Invasive Alien Species Modelling & Mapping
<p>To support the EC and ESA joint Flagship Action of Biodiversity and vulnerable ecosystems to advance Earth System Science and its responses to the global challenges, the Earth Observation for Biodiversity Modeling (EO4Diversity) project, developed three Biodiversity Pilots (BD Pilots) that focus on core issues in biodiversity policy priorities:</p> <ul> <li>BD pilot1: Ecosystem productivity and health</li> <li>BD pilot2: Ecosystem accounting, monitoring and reporting towards policy obligations</li> <li>BD pilot3: Ecosystem resilience to invasive species</li> </ul> <p>Each of these pilots develops an integrated solution that brings together the scientific strengths of high-resolution multi-sensor EO data products (such as remote sensing enabled EBVs and products - RS-EBVS) on the one hand, and the state-of-the-art ecological models, on the other.</p> <p>This Zenodo repository contains the <strong>BD Pilot 3 Invasive Alien Species Modelling & Mapping</strong> products and product description.</p>
