Ankeny and Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuges: Invasive Plant Inventory and Early De

An Access Database and CSV tables from the Invasive Plant Inventory and Early Detection Prioritization Tool (IPIEDT) used in workshops for the Ankeny and Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuges. The tool uses yes/no/unknown responses and condition lists to calculate numerical scores for species and areas, generating ranked priority lists. Data tables from the 2021 workshop are archived to preserve results independent of updates to the master database.

Use Cases

• Prioritizing areas for invasive plant inventory based on calculated area scores.
• Ranking invasive plant species for management action based on calculated species scores.
• Archiving workshop results for historical comparison against future database updates.
• Analyzing threat conditions and states linked to specific invasive species in the refuge system.

Strengths

• Data is archived to preserve workshop results, ensuring stability for historical analysis.
• Tool outputs include both a database and 2-3 standalone CSV files for flexible access.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
