Jacono, Colette C. and Charles P. Boydstun. 1997. Proceedings of the workshop on databases for nonindigenous plants, Gainesville, FL, September 24-25, 1997. U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with Federal Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and Exotic Weeds and National Biological Information Infrastructure.
The Workshop on Databases for Nonindigenous Plants brought together a unique group interested in documenting, tracking, and monitoring the spread of nonindigenous plants. The workshop focused on developing a clearer picture of how databases are being or could be used to document the range and spread of nonindigenous plant populations across the nation. Additionally, it highlighted the importance of needed interagency tools for exchanging information and how information exchange might improve the ability to better document and track these species. By providing a forum to present and discuss databases, an initial step was taken in improving recognition and communication among data managers. The workshop also resulted in a survey and inventory of databases to be used as a resource for administrators and data managers.
