Monitoring of invasive alien species by the Province East Flanders, Belgium dataset is an occurrence dataset published by the Province East Flanders (Belgium). The dataset is created by ad-hoc in-field spotting of invasive species. Here it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each occurrence record an occurrenceID, date, location, quantification where available and scientific name. Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/riparias/pov-ias-plants-occurrences/issues.

The Monitoring of fishes and crustaceans by Province East Flanders in Flanders, Belgium is an sampling event dataset published by the Province East Flanders (Belgium). The data are collected from targeted monitoring on non-navigable watercourses, from 1985 onwards. Earlier collected data was digitized afterwards, newly collected data is digitized immediately. Only non-threatened species are presented in this dataset. The data are published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each occurrence record an occurrenceID, date, location, quantification, length, weight where available and scientific name. Also the physico-chemical parameters of the watercourses at that moment are given when available.

The RIPARIAS target species list is a species checklist dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). It contains (1) the target species of the LIFE RIPARIAS project (LIFE19 NAT/BE/000953), all of them invasive alien species (IAS) of the Regulation (EU) 1143/2014 (https://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/invasivealien/) and (2) the alert list species that currently do not occur in the LIFE RIPARIAS project area, but have proven to have negative impacts on biodiversity and need to be rapidly removed should they be encountered. The alert list was drafted within the LIFE RIPARIAS project following an evidence-based methodology involving climate matching and risk assessment (Branquart et al. 2022). By publishing this list on GBIF it can be used for general reference, early warning systems, data extractions, baseline reporting, project KPIs etc. Issues with the dataset can be reported at: https://github.com/riparias/riparias-target-list We have released this dataset to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver.

This dataset was published as open data for the LIFE RIPARIAS project (Reaching Integrated and Prompt Action in Response to Invasive Alien Species https://www.riparias.be/), with technical support provided by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO).

The Monitoring of invasive alien plants in the LIFE RIPARIAS areas in Flanders, Belgium is a sampling event dataset generated by Landmax (https://landmax.be) and published by the Agency for nature and forests (ANB) (Flanders, Belgium). The data are collected in the context of targeted monitoring on watercourses and ponds within the river basins of the Dijle, Zenne and Mark, during the summer of 2022. Only invasive alien species are presented in this dataset. The data are published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each sampling event record an event ID, location, date and time (in the event core), supplemented with information about the occurrence of a species and its abundance (in the occurrence extension) and any measurements associated with the occurrence (in the measurements or facts extension).Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/riparias/anb-plants-occurrences/issues We have released this dataset to the public domain under a Creative Commons Attribution License.
