Table 2_Early warning early action systems for invasive alien species affecting forests in Europe and Central Asia: an overview.xlsx

96 survey responses from researchers and forest managers across Europe and Central Asia complement a structured literature review on early warning systems for invasive alien species. The dataset, created by a figshare admin for Frontiers in 2026, synthesizes perspectives and categorizes research into six thematic areas for forest protection.

Use Cases

• Analyze survey respondent perspectives on EWEA system effectiveness using demographic or thematic response columns.
• Categorize and compare research themes (e.g., sentinel trees, citizen science) from the literature review component.
• Assess regional differences in phytosanitary priorities by comparing the 58 European and 38 Central Asian survey responses.
• Model pathways for invasive species introduction using categorized data from the review's thematic analysis.

Strengths

• Consolidates data from 96 survey respondents across two major regions.
• Structures a literature review into six distinct, actionable thematic categories.

Limitations

• The 108.2 KB file size indicates a limited dataset, likely containing summary tables rather than raw survey data.
• Unknown row and column counts prevent assessment of data granularity and feature scope.
• Survey sample size of 96 respondents may limit statistical power for sub-regional analysis.
