2020 workshop data tables for invasive plant species prioritization in the Big Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The tables contain species and area scores calculated from user responses to descriptive questions, with higher scores indicating higher priority for inventory. The data is archived from workshops and provided by the Department of the Interior.

Use Cases

• Rank invasive plant species for inventory priority based on calculated species scores.
• Rank geographic areas for inventory priority based on calculated area scores.
• Archive workshop prioritization results for reference against future database updates.
• Apply the prioritization tool methodology to new threats or areas within the refuge.

Strengths

• Data is archived to preserve workshop results against future database changes.
• The prioritization tool uses a structured scoring system based on user responses.
