Contrat de Rivière - RIPARIAS: detection and management of aquatic invasive alien species
Description
"Contrat de Rivière - RIPARIAS: detection and management of aquatic invasive alien species" is a presence/absence dataset focusing on freshwater invasive alien species in the Senne basin, since spring 2021.
data are derived from the monitoring of a set of managed or surveilled water points (ponds, rivers) where the progress/elimination of a set of invasive species is followed up.
The dataset includes absence records and should be considered with caution. Each event corresponds to a complete survey of the site in search of a set of targeted IAS.
The dataset also include had hoc presence observations of other introduced or native species that are made on site.
Geographic scope
- Description
Senne river basin, Wallonia, Belgium
- Latitude
- From 50.488 to 50.796
- Longitude
- From 3.869 to 4.773
Temporal scope
- range
- March 12, 2021 - October 27, 2022
Taxonomic scope
- Description
The monitoring mostly targets a specific list of freshwater invasive alien species (detailed below).
Absence records are only available for these target species (as their search is part of the protocol). However, had hoc observations of other aquatic species - introduced or native - are also included in the dataset.- Coverage
- Aponogeton distachyos L.f.Astacus leptodactylus Eschscholtz, 1823Cabomba caroliniana A.GrayCherax destructor Clark, 1936Crassula helmsii (Kirk) Cockayne
Methodology
- Sampling
During the visits, the entire site is prospected looking for a set of target IAS. The effort is adapted to the size of the site. For the search of invasive crayfish, traps are also set.
- Study extent
freshwater managed or surveilled sites(ponds rivers) within the Senne river basin, from spring 2021 to present.
- Method steps
Site prospection by officers in the RIPARIAS framework
Enconding observations using Fulcrum
