Chuck Bargeron University of Georgia – Bugwood Network

This system allows for the rapid detection and mapping of invasive plants across the South, enabling more efficient responses and cooperative management. It provides a central location for collecting and storing data, with statistics showing 79,998 records and 9,991 point records for 492 plants. The system includes county maps, state county maps, and point maps on Google and Yahoo. Data can be accessed and downloaded, and each state has designated reviewers responsible for verifying and notifying others about reported invasive species. State EDRR committees use the system to designate EDRR species, and technology such as Google Maps, Wiki, and web services are employed. EDDMapS has been in operation for 2 years and is seeking funding opportunities for further development and collaboration with other mapping projects.

  1. Chuck Bargeron University of Georgia – Bugwood Network (Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health)

  2. Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System Distribution of Invasive Plants Across the South Electronic Early Detection System to Allow for More Rapid Responses Large Scale Cooperative Management of New Invasive Species

  3. History • No complete distribution data for Southeast • Holes in USDA PLANTS and now USDA Forest Service FIA data • Some data existed but not compiled in one location • SE-EPPC could provide support for state chapters • Invasive Plant List justification • State EPPCs could provide EDRR framework • Central location for collection and storage of data

  4. Current Data - Statistics • 79,998 records • 9,991 point records • 492 plants

  5. Southeast County Maps

  6. Southeast County Maps

  7. State County Maps

  8. Point Maps – Google Maps

  9. Point Maps – Yahoo Maps

  10. Data Access Features

  11. Data Downloads

  12. Data Downloads

  13. County – Lists

  14. Electronic Early Detection System • Each state has a designated reviewer • Responsible for verifying all data entered in that state • Responsible for notifying the appropriate people when a EDRR species is reported • Each state can designate EDRR species that automatically are flagged • Email sent to designated persons within the state when a EDRR species is reported • State EDRR Committees

  15. Electronic Early Detection System • State designated EDRR list vs. SE-wide list • State list allows for more specificity • Species that are common in one state may be a EDRR species in another • Example garlic mustard • Common in TN and KY • EDRR species in GA and AL

  16. EDDR Technology • Google Maps • Wiki • Web Services to share Data • NAWMA standards • KML • Digital Cameras • Inexpensive GPS units • Smartphones

  17. EDDMapS • 2 years and going strong • Further compilation of collection data • Working toward collaboration between all of the mapping projects underway • Integration with ArcGIS software to output shapefiles and more detailed maps • Looking for funding opportunities • Invasive Plant Atlas…
