PLANTS Database

text "PLANTS" in a box

The US Department of Agriculture's Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) PLANTS database provides access to Federal Noxious Weed List, State Noxious Weed Reports, a State and Federal Composite List of All U.S. Noxious Weeds, an Invasive Plants of the U.S. list, and an Introduced Plants of the U.S. list.

* Remember that an introduced or alien plant is not necessarily an invasive plant, nor is an invasive plant necessarily introduced or alien.

Weed Information Management System (WIMS)

 The Nature Conservancy's Weed Information Management System (WIMS) is a Microsoft Access-based relational database application that is designed to assist natural resource managers in managing their weed data. WIMS keeps track of three types of data records: weed occurrences (GPS point locations), assessments (size and status of the weed infestation to facilitate monitoring over time), and management treatments applied to those weed infestations. Data can be easily exchanged between multiple users, exported in NAWMA (North American Weed Management Association) standards, and written to shapefiles for mapping in any standard GIS program. A variety of reports can also be easily generated.

The Invasive Plant Atlas of New England (IPANE) is web-accessible database of invasive and potentially invasive plants in New England that is continually updated by a network of professionals and trained volunteers. An important focus of the project is the early detection of, and rapid response to, new invasions.
