DVW_Monitoring-aRC4-6-PriorExoten-occurrences is a sampling event and occurrence dataset published by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO). It is part of the work carried out under the framework agreement between the Flemish Waterway Authority and INBO. Within this specific project monitoring of priority invasive riparian and water plants is performed along navigable waterways according to the protocol of De Meuter (et al., 2012). This dataset thus contains occurrence data from all of the species of the priority list of the Flemish Waterways Authority (Adriaens et al., 2023).We have released this dataset to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver. We would appreciate it if you follow the INBO norms for data use (https://www.inbo.be/en/norms-data-use) when using the data.
