説明
The species list of alien taxa in South Africa was developed as part of triennial national status reports on biological invasions. It therefore includes: taxa that are, have been, or were proposed to be regulated; alien taxa that are or have been present in South Africa (including those only ever recorded in quarantine facilities); taxa that are native to a part of South Africa that have formed native-alien populations in another part of the country; and taxa which have been recorded at some point as alien or for which the risk of invasion has been evaluated. The list also includes information on the invasion status of the taxa, their pathways, distributions, impacts, and management, with metadata provided for all 38 variables, including confidence and data sources for 23 of them. Based on information up to the end of December 2022, the checklist includes over 6000 taxa, of which over 3500 are alien taxa confirmed as present outside of captivity or cultivation. However, several key data sources still need to be verified and integrated into the list (particularly taxa in captivity or cultivation). Thus, this list should not yet be regarded as a complete baseline of the knowledge of alien taxa present in South Africa. The checklist is presented in a manner that is tidy and FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) and will be maintained, expanded, and updated, with the aim for the list to become comprehensive and dynamic. By so doing, the checklist will allow the number and status of alien taxa to be tracked over time, informing management planning and regulatory decisions.

プロジェクトデータ
The South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) is mandated by regulations under the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (Act 10 of 2004) to monitor and report on the status of biological invasions and their management in South Africa every three years. To date, three reports have been produced, in 2017, 2020 and 2023 (see http://iasreport.sanbi.org.za), and a fourth is in preparation. These reports required a consolidated national list of alien species in South Africa. Information on alien species present in a country, their status (establishment, distribution, impacts), and how they entered and move around the country is crucial for their effective management. Such information underpins regulations, allocation of management resources, and evaluations of current and future threats.

収集方法
Data were extracted from various sources and merged based on standardised taxonomy. The processes followed are documented and described in Zengeya et al. 2025
| Study Extent | The species list of alien taxa in South Africa was developed as part of triennial national status reports on biological invasions. The study extent is Mainland South Africa and inshore islands. The period of study includes data sources published between 1906 and 31 December 2022 |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | The data were systematically curated with metadata that provide details of what information is contained in each column, and what the different levels in each column mean. The process to check taxonomic information was automated. The nomenclature of non-plant taxa was checked against the Global Biodiversity Information Facility taxonomic backbone. For plant taxa, the nomenclature was first checked against the Plants of Southern Africa database and the Plants of the World Online database. The International Plant Name Index, Nemaplex and the Word Register of Marine Species was also used to check data. |
