Invasive Species Composite - Prince Edward Island

Invasive Species Composite - Prince Edward Island Existing invasive exotic species and the potential introduction of new invasive species pose a threat to forest biodiversity and function. The PEI National Park invasive species composite measure consists of two annual field measurements: the percentage of forest ecosystem with invasive species present (measured by proportion of 244, 441 m2 quadrats covering the forest ecosystem), and the percentage of total forest area (ha) with invasive species present. The measure includes four invasive plants and one insect: Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata), Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris), and Glossy Buckthorn (Frangula alnus), and Gypsy Moth (Lymantria dispar), which is measured for presence only. 2020-03-24 Parks Canada Paul.giroux@canada.ca Nature and EnvironmentPEI National Parkinvasive speciesgarlic mustardAlliaria petiolataglossy buckthornFrangula alnusJapanese knotweedPolygonum cuspidatumgypsy mothLymantria disparScotch pinePinus sylvestris Invasive Species Composite - Prince Edward Island - Garlic Mustard Data - 1CSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/EX2xF9-3fGZArms0E8KbTWoB2s5pA_aQ0i_otAe8P6jcFg Invasive Species Composite - Prince Edward Island - Glossy Buckthorn Data - 2CSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/Ee-re8R6uERPhlsXl1XuGgQBmFXh2OUhqyGRqWw5KT7CHw Invasive Species Composite - Prince Edward Island - Gypsy Moth Data - 3CSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/EUt6Gv5FVgdBnIrNCt4NB9MBqMLA19htrhM62vZu3Oo55w Invasive Species Composite - Prince Edward Island - Japanese Knotweed Data - 4CSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/Eb7Zs5nN5IlGrTQDO5wiBO4BCt1SQ3bfRMXomH1SF59Akw Invasive Species Composite - Prince Edward Island - Scotch Pine Data - 5CSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/EcFbhqXrrShEpTtCE5K_zAYBYh08uzBXvVdIrk9kuF8u3g Invasive Species Composite - Prince Edward Island - Data DictionaryCSV https://124gc.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/external/_layouts/15/download.aspx/EWfChrGHpcBAoK7zPYwVtWMBsUazRkAkn-3HEP1e_m9BLQ
