Invasive Species Online Databases

This website provides a commented list of online searchable databases on invasive plant species.

Global Invasive Species Database – GISD

The dabase about invasive alien species provides datasheets with data on morphology, distribution, habitat, uses, common names, management, and photos.

Invasive Species Compendium – ISC

The website identifies invasive species of the world. The datasheets offer extensive information about taxonomy and nomenclature, common names, distribution (incl. distribution map), life form, biology and ecology, habitats, and images. A distribution table shows all countries in which the species is native or introduced, and if it is invasive or not.
