Besides EWM invasion status and abundance information for all surveyed lakes, the data also provides a snapshot of various ecological lake-level covariates (such as water chemistry conditions, water temperature and surrounding land-use).The datasets uploaded describe Eurasian watermilfoil distribution and abundance across the state of Minnesota. The dataset formed the basis for all the analyses in the paper referenced below.CC0 1.0 Universalabundance-suitability relationshipdiscrimination accuracyfunctional accuracyinvasion riskpseudoabsencesspatial covariatewater temperatureDatasethttps://doi.org/10.13020/yrds-h783
