Data from: Predicting range expansion of invasive species: pitfalls and best practices for obtaining biologically realistic projections

Species Distribution Models (SDM) for seven invasive plant species in
North America. Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to
forecast potential range expansion of invasive species. However, invasive
species occurrence datasets often have spatial biases that may violate key
SDM assumptions. We examined alternative methods of spatial bias
correction and multiple methods for model evaluation for seven invasive
plant species. Species SDMs include Common Tansy (Tanacetum
vulgare), Wild Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa), Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia
virgata), Common Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum), Brown Knapweed (Centaurea
jacea), Black Swallowwort (Vincetoxicum nigrum), and Dalmatian Toadflax
(Linaria dalmatica).
