Add degree of establishment #56

Closed peterdesmet closed 6 years ago

Add degree of establishment to the description extension, with the values:

I don't remember on which field in the Excel this was based, but it should be in the Google Doc by Tim. I also don't know the name of the used vocabulary (if any).

@timadriaens @qgroom @SoVDH don't recall how to call this: degree of establishment or invasion stage?

qgroom commented 6 years ago

'established' is a term that expresses the degree of establishment or invasion stage 'introduced' is to do with where is comes from and says nothing about the degree of establishment or invasion stage. The two terms are not mutually exclusive.

peterdesmet commented 6 years ago

Ok, guess we need a vocab to better express degree of establishment.

At this point I would suggest to use (for each checklist):

@LienReyserhove agreed that this is the general approach for each checklist. For the manual of alien plants, there is this comment on invasion stage in the document:

the 64 spp from MAP noted “inv.”: (definition Manual) Inv. (invasive): naturalized taxa that penetrate and proliferate in (semi-) natural habitats, not necessarily causing damage. Taxa that are found only occasionally or temporarily in (semi-) natural habitats are not considered as such (for instance Coronopus didymus) yet, for some species this seems not correct (e.g. Egeria) for Belgium → established

@timadriaens @qgroom does this translate in putting all plants as invasion stage established?

@LienReyserhove: when adding invasion stage to the Rmd, please add an explanation like you did for alien fishes: it's really helpful.

LienReyserhove commented 6 years ago

See discussion in https://github.com/trias-project/alien-plants-belgium/issues/60. We are now integrating invasion stage rather than degree of establishment. #60 gives a detailed overview of how we interpret the invasion stage information contained in the MAP. I'm closing this issue now.
