Invasive Plant Identification and Record Input Smartphone App for Western Alaska

This project supports the technical development of a mobile application for identifying and reporting invasive plant species in Alaska.  It will result in a portable, digital version of a field guide that can be easily updated and that supports integration of reports into the Alaska Exotic Plants Information Clearinghouse (AKEPIC).  Under development for both Android and iOS operating systems, the app has the potential to increase the public’s knowledge of invasive plants, as well an improve opportunities for reporting new occurrences.   See also project WA2014_33​.
