Data for: Invasion risk of clumping and running bamboo species in the continental United States

Appendix data table with answers to weed risk assessment questions for 47 species of bamboo accompanying the manuscript titled "Running bamboo species pose a greater risk of invasion than clumping bamboo species in the continental United States". We also include information on rhizome habit, score, conclusion, and number of questions answered.

Spaces were left blank when there was no information available to answer question, "unk" was entered if there was not enough data to answer or the guidelines indicate "unk" instead of blank space, and "?" when conflicting evidence provided (per published guidelines Gordon et al. 2010).
