Abstract
The Database of Alien pests in China was constructed, which includes two databases, the Attribute database and the GIS graphic database. The former includes 1-Database for alien notorious animals, plants and microorganisms. Included are lists of notorious animals (114 species), plants (219 species) and microorganisms (19 species), related references, specialists, and useful background information (e.g., Chinese name, English name, distribution, host plant, damage, morphological characteristics, biology, transmission, quarantine methods, and related figures). 2-Weather database. The weather database includes daily records from 1980 to 1998; 30 years average of essential weather records from 1950 to 1980 from 684 weather stations. 3- Database of cropping statistics based on counties, including planting acreage and production of wheat, corn, cotton, rice, potato, tobacco, vegetables, apple, pear, orange for all counties in China. 4- Custom statistics database. Part of this database was presented on the Chinese Web of Biological Invasion: www.bioinvasion.org.cn. GIS graphic database is constructed to include district and county layers, vegetation, soil, 1 km2 numerical elevation, 1 km2 1961-1995 temperature GIS layer, 100 km2 weather data GIS grid layer. Based on these two databases using GIS and CLIMEX, a software for suitability analysis, predictions of climatic suitable areas for about 20 invasive species were conducted (e.g., sweet potato whitefly biotype B, vegetable leaf miner, pine nematode and etc.). For several invasive species, host plant layer and transmission vector layer were also made to assess the actual threat of the target species. The current status of biological invasion in China, some basic problems, and our idea to face the threat is also discussed in this report.
