The database BiolFlor contains almost 3660 species and more than 60 traits. This data results from several projects conducted in the Department of Community Ecology (UFZ - Centre for Environmental Research) over the last 10 years. It was thus possible to rework and enlarge a previously existing database. However, the work on BiolFlor will not be finished, yet. We will continuously try to improve the database, correct errors and expand the coverage of traits and their states. Registered users will be able to download updates in the future. A full documentation of BiolFlor (in German with English summaries and data tables, table captions and figure legends) including CD-ROM and registration key can be purchased from the Landwirtschaftsverlag. ...

The Ecological Database of the British Isles has been constructed from a wide variety of sources by Dr Helen Peat and Professor Alastair Fitter at the University of York, with financial support from the British Ecological Society and the Natural Environment Research Council. It consists of data on over 1770 species of higher plants that occur in the British Isles, together with the bibliography of sources. This version has been realised by Dr Henry Ford. The data comprises information on taxonomy (family, genus, specific name, authority, and vernacular name, together with a synonomy), a suite of over 130 ecological and morphological characteristics, vice-county distribution in Britain, European distribution by country, mycorrhizal associations and fungal diseases. The data are obtained from the literature and therefore coverage varies greatly between species. Some data sets are incomplete at this stage. ... [Information of the supplier]
SALVIAS (Spatial Analysis of Local Vegetation Inventories Across Scales) is a network of ecologists, conservation biologists, biogeographers, botanists and computer programmers interested in understanding large scale patterns of plant diversity. SALVIAS is a collaborative project devoted to the study of plant abundance, diversity, and distribution at local to global scales. Our mission is to facilitate novel research by linking local ecological attributes (from vegetation inventories) with taxon-level attributes (distribution and phenology as recorded in herbarium specimens, databases of growth, biomass, phytochemistry) and properties of the physical environment (climate, soils, ecosystem energy). ...

SOPHY ist eine Datenbank für pflanzensoziologische Daten aus Frankreich. Die online abrufbaren Darstellungen beziehen sich nicht auf einzelne Vegetationsaufnahmen, sondern auf Auswertungen zur Ökologie und zum soziologischen Verhalten von Arten bzw. Artengruppen oder Pflanzengesellschaften. Die Datenbasis wird seit den 1980er Jahren kontinuierlich ausgeweitet und umfasste Anfang 2009 annähernd 200.000 Vegetationsaufnahmen. Darüber hinaus werden circa 3000 Publikationen mit pflanzensoziologischen Daten aufgelistet. ... [Redaktion vifabio]
