Abstract
Description
The Swedish Species Information Centre estimated the potential risks from 1622 alien species concerning native biodiversity in Sweden. The assignment was performed on behalf of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management in 2023-2025. This dataset contains the results of this risk assessment that was conducted according to the GEIAA v.4.4 method. The results are presented as risk category and criteria with estimates on ecological effect and invasion potential. The datafile contains 1622 rows and 17 columns.
A limited selection of the data is available at the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, https://doi.org/10.15468/apnp2q). The selection presents only higher risk categories.
