The Horizon Scanning Tool is a decision support aid that helps you identify and categorize species that might enter a particular geographic area from another geographic area.
- Refine by habitats, pathways, impact outcomes and organism types
- Download a list of species
- Refine by additional filters - plant hosts and plant parts in trade
- View datasheets and download a list of species
The tool uses CABI data to generate a list of species that are not recorded as present in your selected ‘area at risk’ but are reported from ‘source areas’ i.e. geographic areas with similar climates to your ‘area at risk’, neighbouring areas or selected trading partners.
You are about to access the free version of the tool. You will be able to generate lists of species and refine your results by pathways, organism types, impact outcomes and habitats. A subscription is required to access species datasheets in CABI Compendium.
You will see some greyed-out areas of the tool that you are unable to access as a free user. To access these premium features you will need a subscription to CABI Compendium.
