Invasive Species in the Three Mile Creek Watershed in Mobile, Alabama, 2018

Dataset extent

This dataset is the attribute table of a point shapefile which represents 368 plots in the Three Mile Creek Watershed in Mobile, Alabama. Each data row represents a plot that was surveyed by EnviroScience or Volkert in the Spring or Fall of 2018 for invasive plant species. The rightmost column of the table denotes the total percent coverage of invasived species. In some cases, this number may exceed 100%; this is because percent coverage was determined according to the natural habitat within the plot that the species can occupy, e.g. aquatic, herbs/forbs, shrubs, and trees. Shapefiles that contain each individual species' isolated survey results are also available.
