The Data and Services papers LW ERIC intends to publish as open access papers on the BDJ web page, will describe the resources and assets developed, upgraded and used during the implementation of the flagship project of LW ERIC, the Internal Joint Initiative (IJI). The IJI deals with the impacts of non-indigenous invasive species (NIS) on European native species, genetic diversity, habitats, ecosystem functioning and services, as well as with our current practices in environmental management and policy implementation. This approach is entirely interdisciplinary and makes use of disruptive technologies.
