Summary of species occurrence data from 1900 to 2020 for Australian terrestrial species organised by IBRA region and status as an introduced or invasive species using the Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (GRIIS) list for Australia. Counts are provided by species and IBRA region for: The total number of occurrence records within the region, for a given GRIIS status and time period The number of distinct species recorded within the region, for a given GRIIS status and time period The GRIIS list identifies species that are known or believed to have been introduced to Australia. Species that are not included in the GRIIS Australia list are treated here as native species. The GRIIS list also identifies a subset of introduced species as invasive species based on knowledge that these species have had a harmful impact. This dataset organises species occurrences using these GRIIS data to assign species to one of three categories: Native – not an introduced species Introduced – an introduced species that is not considered invasive Invasive – an introduced species that is considered invasive The GRIIS lists have been compiled by experts with knowledge of introduced and invasive species in each country and are still being improved. It should particularly be noted that version 1.6 of the GRIIS Australia list includes a number of species which are native to Australia but which have been translocated to new parts of the country for conservation purposes. In future versions of the GRIIS Australia list, these species will be appropriately identified and can be excluded as required. This is important since the list does not indicate the areas in which the species is considered to have been introduced (including translocated). These species were manually excluded before the dataset was generated, but this version should be treated with caution. Future versions of this dataset will benefit from improvements to the GRIIS Australia list. Occurrence records were aggregated and organised by the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA, https://ala.org.au/) and include survey and monitoring data collected and managed by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, https://imos.org.au/) and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN, https://tern.org.au/).

This dataset is part of the assessment and mapping of foreshore value, condition and pressure in the Southern Natural Resource Management (NRM) Region of Tasmania. The 17 line maps produced in this study are intended to be used as a tool to assist managers and stakeholders in the identification of management issues with regards to foreshore planning, development, and natural resources. Assessment of the foreshore is based on the division of the high water line into 100m segments. Using a decision matrix and rule set, each foreshore segment is assigned a score for three main components: fields, attributes and indices. Segments are colour coded based on their attribute or index score to reflect the differing levels of overall natural value, human use value, condition, pressure or components thereof. This digital line map is a representation of the foreshore condition with regards to the presence/absence of introduced marine species and beach weeds on foreshores in the southern NRM region and is an attribute layer supporting the Condition Index. Foreshore condition with regards to introduced species is assessed based on the number of introduced species known or likely to be present within a segment, as well as habitat type, proximity to existing known populations and the condition of adjacent vegetation. Species considered are Carcinus maenas, Crassostrea gigas, Spartina anglica, Undaria pinnatifida, Ammophila arenaria, Euphorbia paralias, Thinopyrum junceiforme, Ehrharta villosa and Arctotheca populifolia. An explanatory report is available from the data custodian which provides detailed methodology and further explanation of the dataset.

Aggregated metadata on environmental monitoring and observing activities from three Australian national research infrastructures (NRIs): biodiversity survey events from the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA, https://ala.org.au/), marine observations collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, https://imos.org.au/) and site-based monitoring and survey efforts by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN, https://tern.org.au/). This dataset provides a summary breakdown of these efforts by survey topic, region and time period from 2010 to the present. Survey topics are mapped to an EcoAssets Earth Science Features vocabulary based on the Earth Science keywords from the Global Change Master Directory (GCMD, https://gcmd.earthdata.nasa.gov/KeywordViewer/) vocabulary, modified to use taxonomic concept URIs from the Australian National Species List (ANSL, https://biodiversity.org.au/nsl/) in place of the GCMD Earth Science > Biological Classification vocabulary. ANSL categories map more readily to biodiversity survey categories, since GCMD depends on a top-level division between vertebrates and invertebrates rather than offering an animal category. The EcoAssets Earth Science Features vocabulary, including alternative keywords used in ALA, IMOS or TERN datasets, can be downloaded from https://doi.org/10.26197/w2a2-6s86.

Summary of species occurrence data from 1900 to the present for Australian terrestrial species organised by IBRA region and CAPAD protection status. Counts are provided by species and IBRA region for: The number of records showing evidence of the species’ presence inside the region The number of records showing evidence of the species’ presence within CAPAD 2020 protected areas inside the region The number of records showing evidence of the species’ presence within the protected areas under indigenous management within the region The first count includes all records in the second count and the second count includes all records in the third count. The counts in this dataset allow for some simple comparisons between the numbers of species recorded inside and outside protected areas in each region and comparison of the species in each region. Inclusion of EPBC statuses allows comparisons based on conservation status. Note however that such counts may not accurately reflect real differences in biodiversity. It is important to consider confounding factors (particularly variations in recording effort over time). Occurrence records were aggregated and organised by the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA, https://ala.org.au/) and include survey and monitoring data collected and managed by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, https://imos.org.au/) and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN, https://tern.org.au/).
