America

"Invasive species are a subset of non-native (or alien) species, and
knowing what species are non-native to a region is a first step to managing
invasive species... In total, 1,166 authoritative sources were reviewed to
compile the first comprehensive non-native species list for three large
regions of the United States: Alaska, Hawaii, and the conterminous United
States (lower 48 States). The list contains 11,344 unique names: 598 taxa
for Alaska, 5,848 taxa for Hawaii, and 6,675 taxa for the conterminous
United States. The list is available to the public from U.S. Geological
Survey ScienceBase (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9E5K160)"
