Information about funding sources that supported the collection of the data: in progress 7. Overview of the data (abstract): The movement of aquatic invasive species (AIS) between waterbodies is often facilitated by overland transport on recreational boats. Once established, AIS can have detrimental ecological effects that are difficult or impossible to manage. Prevention is the most cost-effective AIS intervention strategy, with many management agencies focused on implementing spread prevention techniques such as boater education, watercraft inspection, and hot water decontamination. Given resource constraints, deciding which spread prevention techniques to implement and where to place them is a decision fraught with uncertainty. . In this study, we collected data for, developed, and tested, a new application entitled “Intervention Impact” for the AIS Explorer, an online AIS program-planning dashboard (www.aisexplorer.umn.edu). The application assists AIS managers by simulating scenarios derived from user-defined lake-level budgets, effort, and effectiveness of interventions, enabling them to make comparisons. The outputs provide estimates for risk reduction and infestations averted for both zebra mussel and starry stonewort in Minnesota lakes. We demonstrate the utility of this application using the conditions of Cass County, Minnesota, USA as a case study. Our simulation outputs highlight the tradeoffs of each prevention strategy applied given budget constraints and demonstrate that value of a data-driven approach to guide the implementation of cost-effective prevention plans. -------------------------- SHARING/ACCESS INFORMATION -------------------------- 1. Licenses/restrictions placed on the data: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United States 2. Links to publications that cite or use the data: in progress 3. Terms of Use: Data Repository for the U of Minnesota (DRUM) By using these files, users agree to the Terms of Use. https://conservancy.umn.edu/pages/drum/policies/#terms-of-use --------------------- DATA & FILE OVERVIEW --------------------- There are more files provided in the archive than are fully discussed below. However, all those not specifically described in this section are referenced, described, or created in the files listed below. 1. File List A. Filename: Sample Workflow.Rmd Short description/contents:This RMarkdown file demonstrates an entire sample workflow using all the functions, scripts, datasets, and other inputs contained in this repository except for files J-N. below. It also shows a typical use case for these tools, one that mirrors their use in the Intervention Impact tab on AIS Explorer. Many of the required inputs and parameters of the simulation model (represented by the AIS_intervention_sim function generated in the AIS Explorer Risk Mitigation Simulation V2.R file) are discussed or summarized here, and many optional toggles and other features are alluded to or demonstrated explicitly. Because running this file would necessarily load all other dependencies in this repository (except for files I.- M. below), it is highly recommended that users begin their exploration of this repository with this file--they may have little need to engage with most other files unless they want to dive deeper into the mechanics of the model itself. B. Filename: AIS Explorer Risk Mitigation Simulation V2.R Short description/content:This R script file contains the code for the AIS_intervention_sim function, which is the function that performs the simulations that undergird the Intervention Impact tab on AIS Explorer. As such, it is the "main event" of the repository, so to speak and would be a key file to consult if a user wishes to understand the inner workings of the simulation model in greater depth. However, consider decision-making and preprocessing actually happens in upstream files (see C. below), so consultation of additional files may be needed to understand certain conventions and data structures relied upon by this file, as these are not discussed here. C. Filename: make_edgelist.R, make_habsuit.R, make_river_edgelist.R, and process_edgelist.R Short description/content: These R Script files each produce one required function needed to generate or pre-process inputs needed by the AIS_intervention_sim function generated in the AIS Explorer Risk Mitigation Simulation V2.R file. As such, they can be seen as pre-requisites/dependencies for running the simulation model "from scratch." The files themselves also provide added context for some of the required inputs of the model as well as some of its optional toggles. The ultimate shared goal of these files is to ensure the inputs are in the most advanced state possible prior to commencing the simulation so that the simulation function needs to perform as few operations as possible, in the interests of efficiency. D. Filename: Cleaned initial infection statuses.R, example intlist.R, and stochast_prob_samples.R Short description/content: These 3 R Script files contain additional code needed to generate or preprocess some inputs needed by the functions listed above. E. Filename:gen_costtable.R and gen_resultdists.R Short description/content: These optional R Script files provide exemplar code like that used to handle user-provided intervention cost data (in the former case), as seen on the costs subtab of the Intervention Impact tab on AIS Explorer or like that used to generate expressive output figures, as seen in the reports generated by the Intervention Impact tab. The sample workflow file (A. above) uses the latter to demonstrate a typical use case for these tools. F. Filename: hab_suit_scores.csv, Infection statuses.csv, infwaters22.csv, param.csv, and river_net_sim.csv Short description/content: These .CSV format files are explained in greater detail in the DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION sections below. For the most part, these are input files providing information on habitat suitability values for lakes for each invasive species, on infestation statuses of lakes at time of writing, or on probabilities of spread of invasives between pairs of lakes in the state. G. Filename: dow_boats.RDS, default_habsuit_real, inf_status_int, sample_intlist, and stochast_prob_dists Short description/content: These are .RDS format files, a format used by R to efficiently store tabular data as an alternative to e.g., .csv format. Like the files listed above in item #6, these are generally either inputs to the functions mentioned above or else are used within the sample workflow to provide a complete example use case of the tools presented in this repository--they are described in detail in the files in which they are used/created. H. Filename: boats1-20.zip Short description/content: These are products of an earlier study (Kinsley et al., see REFERENCES below); they are the estimated numbers of boat trips occurring between every pair of lakes in the state of Minnesota yearly, as predicted by a machine learning model. I. Filename: add_intlist.R Short description/content: This file contains code that converts user defined effort and effectivness values into probabilites that are loaded into the nework edgelist to be used in the simulation model for its further operations. J. Filename: COST_DATASET.csv Short description/content: Contains itemized cost information obtained from county AIS managers in Minnesota. This spreadsheet gives detailed information on the exact costs and number of interventions being completed in 19 counties in Minnesota that we held interviews with. J. Filename: inspection_and_decon_removal.csv Short description/content: Contains the results obtained from a separate study completed by Angell et al. 2023 (https://doi.org/10.13020/7n3e-yp45). This study examined the effectiveness of AIS removal efforts by boater, inspectors, and decontaminators from a boat that was purposely planted with AIS. This spreadsheet contains removal estimates and as well as where participants were looking and touching on the boat. L. Filename: 2019-2021_countyspending_allcounties.csv Short description/content: Contains data obtained from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resource's Voluntary Reporting System. Counties report to the DNR how much they are spending on their AIS prevention program plans. This spreadsheet contains how much money each county in Minnesota is allocated from the state as well as how much of that they are saving or spending in years 2019-2021. M. Filename: scenarios.csv Short description/content: Contains data obtained after running hypothetical spending scenarios for Cass County through the AIS explorer (https://www.aisexplorer.umn.edu). This spreadsheet gives the spending scenarios being applied to the county and what costs that amounts to for each of 3 interventions being applied (boater education, watercraft inspection, hot water decontamination). Outputs from those spending scenarios are reported as the number of zebra mussel or starry stonewort infestations or infestations averted along with confidence interval bounds. N. Filename: COSTS_FINAL.rmd Short description/content: Contains the code used to obtain cost estimates and figures. This file contains code run in the program R that was used to calculate cost estimates and create visualizations of results for publication. 0. Filename:AIS_explorer_user_guide.pdf Short description/content: A visual and written explanation of the 5 step processes to use the AIS Explorer Intervention Impact dashboard. 2. Relationship between files: Files A-I: Files D, G, and H are largely inputs to the simulation model featured on the Intervention Impact tab of AIS Explorer. Files B and C represent the files of that simulation model, and files D and E help to integrate cost data into the Intervention Impact tab and also provide summary measurements of intervention effectiveness. File A demonstrates a full model use case, incorporating most of the other files listed and showing how they relate to one another–interested parties can refer to this file for more details. Files J-N: Data obtained from the voluntary reported information from the MN DNR were used to determine which counties to host interviews with to gather itemized cost information as well as get a general idea of spending trends for MN counties on their AIS prevention plans. They hypothetical scenarios run through the AIS explorer for Cass County were used to showcase the applications abilities in prevention planning. The AIS removal data obtained from Angell et. al 2023 were used to compare and contrast the cost-effectiveness of AIS preventions in each county. The R code can be used to recreate any calculations or figures created as part of this study. File O: A visual and written explanation of how to use the AIS Explorer Intervention Impact interface at www.aisexplorer.umn.edu. The .pdf walks through a 5 step process that assists users in using the tool to its full extent. -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- 1.
