Weed mapping
working group
Mission of our working group:
We want to provide an overview on the occurrence and spreading of weeds in Europe.
The Working Group wants to exchange data, tools and methods for the assessment and spatial documentation of species and biotypes on arable and non-crop land, e.g. on amenity areas.
Our major tasks are to:
- compare and combine data from weed surveys in physical maps
- document population dynamics and regional weed changes
- derive predictions for weed problems in selected areas and on selected sites
- communicate developments in defined segments and to compare them with developments outside the EU
- find common and most efficient rules and tools for the assessment and documentation of data
Research topics to be covered
- Results of and conclusions from national and private weed surveys
- Methods for the assessment and documentation of weed populations
- European and global mapping of weeds
