ABOUT THE DATA

A municipality-level atlas of invasive alien plants

The underlying study provides the first comprehensive atlas of invasive alien plant distributions across mainland Portugal. It compiled approximately 85,000 occurrence records for 96 terrestrial and aquatic invasive alien plant species and mapped their distributions across all 278 mainland municipalities.

This NatureForecast view focuses on the municipality-level presence information: each municipality can be inspected to see which invasive alien plant species were recorded there. It does not display the underlying occurrence points or within-municipality occupancy estimates.
