I am currently looking for Invasive Alien Plant Species (IAPS) Occurrence-Data for mainly the Tropics including Africa, South America, & Asia tropical regions. If you know any research-networks or sources (published and/or Unpublished) of this data, please point me to it. The data would be mainly used for IAPS - Species Distribution Modelling.
NB: I have already gone through most of the data from International Databases (e.g.GBIF and GISD), however.. it is abit lacking.
I thank you in advance for your responses.
Sincerely,
NM
Nelson, Look, please, the last one book devoted to the question you are asking ...
Garkoti, S. C., Van Bloem, S. J., Fulé, P. Z., & Semwal, R. L. (Eds.). (2019). Tropical Ecosystems: Structure, Functions and Challenges in the Face of Global Change.
If you cannot obtaine the PDF ask me over e-mail: [email protected]

Andrey Kovalchuk Thanks alot for your answer. I have sent further communication in an email :)
Abhijit Mitra thank you for your recommendation. I will review the Balast water websites to see if they have info. about invasive plant species.
GBIF provides data worldwide https://www.gbif.org/
Look also to previous analogous question's answers

Go to global invasive species data base for global data using following link.
http://www.iucngisd.org/gisd/
But for local data basses see data bases maintained by specific country.
You can reach out to Big Island Invasive Species Committee, although they are not in your study region you are looking at I am sure they could point you in the right direction for some very good resources. The outreach branch of their organization is extremely helpful and informative.
You can visit the website of Botanical Survey of India to have a big list of exotic invasive plant species.

My paper also talks about the influence of invasive species on regeneration of native forest vegetation.
