EASIN is glad to announce that two more organizations have joined its network of data partners, and have agreed to share scientific information and spatial data on alien species with the scientific community, managers, and general public via EASIN platform.
Citizen scientists play an important role in providing biodiversity data. It is therefore crucial to understand the concerns and motivations of voluntary recorders to ensure their continued enthusiasm and involvement.
Data on invasive alien species must be up-to-date, reliable and accurate, standardized and openly accessible to serve the need of tackling biological invasions. Biodiversity data are often scattered in many disconnected databases lacking interoperability.
By means of the Commission Implementing Regulation 1263/2017, 12 further invasive alien species (IAS) have been added to the list of IAS of Union concern, approved by EU Commission Implementing Regulation 1141/2016. The total number of regulated species on the list is now 49.
EASIN is establishing collaborations with scientific organizations working on biodiversity and alien species, aiming at enriching the quality of scientific information and spatial data retrievable via its information system.
The report is based on the best available knowledge, resulting from data aggregated through the European Alien Species Information Network (EASIN) in collaboration with the competent authorities of the Member States.
Terrestrial plants establish symbiotic relationships with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) which colonize their roots, aiding nutrients acquisition and growth, and protecting plants from abiotic stresses.
It is peak season for alien species, also known as non-native species to Europe, whether highly invasive or not. Plants and shrubs are blooming, animals and insects are buzzing around. Take the chance to spot them near your living place, in parks and natural areas, to help protecting biodiversity.
