Abstract:
This dataset contains point locations of invasive, non-native plants in the state of Florida. These points are part of the Florida Natural Areas Inventory Florida Invasive Plants GeoDatabase.
Purpose:
Produced from Florida Invasive Plants GeoDatabase to provide a developing statewide view of current invasive exotic plant occurrences in public conservation lands and to establish an inventory and monitoring tool for policy making in natural resource management.

A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries.

1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Description:
GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Natural Areas Inventory website (<http://www.fnai.org/gis_data.cfm>) in February 2006. The data was downloaded in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers HARN.

- All fields were upcased. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on TAXON - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on the date of download by GeoPlan.
