Invasive Species Presence
Benchmark Value
Scoring Curve
This curve shows how a field measurement for this indicator would score across all available benchmark forms in this context.
Evidence & Context
The proposed benchmark is the 25th percentile value for HTE cover, which is 0.075%.
Percentage cover of High Threat Exotic (HTE) species in temperate woodland reference sites.
This benchmark represents the percentage cover of High Threat Exotic species in temperate woodland areas under rehabilitation, with a target set at the 25th percentile value to encourage low invasive species presence.
The 25th percentile represents a condition better than 75% of high-quality reference sites, setting an ambitious yet achievable target for best-practice management.
