Background
The workflow assesses habitat vulnerability to the introduction and establishment of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) and the cumulative effects of their negative impacts, and is available through LifeWatch Tessaract at: https://tesseract.lifewatch.dev/biotope/create-workflow-cimpal.
Learning Objectives
This tutorial will allow you to:
- Design the input datasets in the required file extension and layout, according to your impact assessment framework of choice;
- Identify the provided parameters and the paths to the input files;
- Examine the generated workflow output files.

Target Audience
The Workflow was created to support researchers and decision makers working on the management of impacts by Invasive Alien Species (IAS). The workflow outputs will help users to define target intervention areas, where the cumulative impacts of AIS are higher, and to make a better use of limited resources.
Prerequisites
Workflow users should:
- Have previous knowledge about the impact of invasive species;
- Be able to run and access GIS data;
- Be able to edit different data file formats (TSV, CSV, etc.).
