Create a invasive species page

SanderDevisscher commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to add a page to the app with graphs/maps related to invasive alien species based on the TrIAS workflow.

If this is possible I would like to meet with you, @timadriaens en @damianooldoni to discuss how, what and when.

Sounds interesting!

Yes, enthusiasm and creativity! So here's what I had in mind:

a simple webpage where users can explore the unified checklist of alien species and the checklist indicators derived from them. This would entail a simple dashboarded version of the checklist with intergration of the indicator scripts. Some example of a query a user could explore:

the trend in all alien species introductions in Flanders, Wallonie, Brussels, all Belgium
the trend in alien species introductions for a specific taxon (kingdom, classis etc. level)
the trend in alien species introductions for a specific environment, native range
the trend in alien species introductions for a specific pathway
the trend in alien species introductions for a specific degree of establishment

So basically, to implement query possibilities for all the breakdowns:

environment (marine, terrestrial, freshwater)
taxon (kingdom --> family)
native range
pathway (level 1 and level 2 CBD)
invasion stage (introduced, established etc.)
source checklist
distribution (country-level: Belgium)

Similarly, a webtool that allows on the fly occurrence indicators at species level. These are basically graphs with number of observations and occupancy (within and outside protected areas) and trends.

The great @damianooldoni has written functions that create the indicator graphs.
