Pathway	Explanation
Agriculture	Plants for production of food for human and animal consumption, incl. crops and contaminants of hay, grain, fodder
Angling/sport	Live bait or dispersal via fishing gear or/and boats or as a consequence of aquasports
Animal husbandry	Animals for production of food for human, including the pest species introduced via the animal hosts
Aquaculture	Fish/crayfish/algae/seafood farming, or a consequences of stocking of species (pest species) - includes mariculture
Aquaria	Ponds and aquariums
Ballast water & sediments	Ballast water and sediments in tanks, as well as solid ballast, incl also the dispersal via shipping in general (eg. Brown rat)
Biological control	Introduced as a putative biocontrol agent/pest of another species
Escapes	Fur farming, pet-animals escaping from cativity, laboratory animals, animal escapes, pet trade
Fisheries	Commercial fishing
Forestry	Timber and tree production, including the pest species introduced via tree hosts or product thereof
Horticulture	Plants used for ornamental purposes, gardening
Hull fouling	Fouling of ships hulls
Hunting	Released as hunting quarry or prey
Landscaping	The use of plants in the landscape (such as hegde plantings, binding of silt, erosion control)
Medicinal	Typically plants (maybe a few animals) for this purpose
Not known
Ornamental	Animals used for ornamental purposes auch as colourful slugs and birds in parks etc.
Reintroduction	Re-introduction of species that have died out in the country previously
Secondary introduction	Introduced species where populations have been introduced from a nearby country/sea area - not the natural distribution area
Transport	Infrastructure, translocation of machinery, transportation along roads and rails, planes, package material etc.

Status	Explanation
Established	The species has formed self-reproducing populations in semi-natural or natural areas.
In captivity/culture	Greenhouses, houses and otherwise confined by humans
Not established	The species has not formed self-reproducing populations (also called casual or incidental)
Not known
Suspected	The species is suspected to be found in the country, but no scientific proof published
Within country transfer	The species occurs naturally (is indigenous) within one part of the country but has been introduced by humans into another region where it has not previously occurred.

Impact	Explanation
Abiotic changes	Modification of fire regime, succession, hydrology, nutrient availability,
Competition	Competing with other organisms filling the same niche in the food chain (horizontal effect), physical disturbance
Decomposition	Entering the local food web by being a new decomposer (vertical effects)
Disease transmission	Being a reservoir for parasites or a vector for pathogen or being a parasite/pathogen
Extinction	Extinction of native species - such a grave effect is rarely seen in our parts of the world (let's hope we se no records here)
Genetic	hybridising with a related species or varieties, may lead to extinction by gene flow or dilution of locally adapted genepool
Herbivory	Entering the local food web by being a new herbivore (vertical effects)
Human health	Human health effects by being toxic, causing diseases or allergies
None	Preferably (!) based on some kind of scientific knowledge
Not known	no information available
Predation	Entering the local food web by being a new predator (vertical effects)
Resource allocation	Being a new ressource for native or introduced species (for herbivores, predators or decomposers) (vertical effects)
Socio-economic	Fouling, clogging of waterways, leading to increased pesticide/herbicide use, control and management costs etc.
Toxic	Being toxic for local species, thereby displacing these.

Country	Status	Frequency	Invasiveness
Denmark (DK)	Not known	Rare	Not invasive
Poland (PL)	Not known	Not known	Not known
Sweden (SE)	Not established	Rare	Not invasive
