In the literature database of the Botanical Institute of the University of Innsbruck, articles from current journals and the new books and separata of the institute are registered. Up to the spring of 2006 ca. 50000 citations were already recorded; the database will be continuously expanded. One focal point is formed by geobotanical, bryological, and palaeobotanical journals; Vegetatio, Nova Hedwigia and several palaeobotanical journals for example, are complete from Volume 1 (as long as they are in the library’s holdings). The geographical emphasis is on Tyrol / Austria, thought the database is not restricted to this area. ... [Editorial staff vifabio]
PGRDEU is the central documentation of ex-situ collections of plant genetic resources in Germany. It contains data of the genebanks of the Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research - IPK (sites in Gatersleben, Groß Lüsewitz and Molchow) and the Federal Centre for Breeding Research on Cultivated Plants - BAZ ( sites in Dresden-Pillnitz and Siebeldingen) as well as other specialised collections for plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. ...

DNL-online is a bibliographical database on nature conservation compiled by the German National Agency for Conservation (Bundesamt für Naturschutz, BfN). Currently, about 100.000 citations are available, with publication years starting 1980. The data is based on holdings of the BfN's library as well as its documentation center, and contains all forms of publications; the geographical scope of most titles is Germany / Central Europe. ...

FloraWeb is the online offering of the Federal Agency for Nature Protection (BfN) concerning wild plant species, plant communities, and the natural vegetation of Germany. At present the species selection is restricted to ferns and flowering plants (phanerogams), the extension to mosses (bryophytes) is planned. The entries come from current, actualised databases and projects of the BfN and its co-operating partners (see below) and thus are available to the public in their current form. Under the menu point “Plant species” ("Pflanzenarten") ca. 3500 species profiles with up to 55 individual items of information about taxonomy, biology, ecology, habitat, distribution, and inventory situation, endangerment and protection, as well as photos, can be accessed that are generated at the current time by means of dynamic accessing the underlying databases. The species descriptions can be accessed by name, by alphabetical name lists, or a systematic family tree. Information about distributions in Germany is available through dynamically prepared maps and the interactive GIS application FloraMap. In the sub-menu point “Properties” ("Suche nach Eigenschaften") all individual information items in searches can be freely combined. Again, the resulting species lists can be transferred to the map module FloraMap where one then has the possibility of displaying the spatial distribution of these groups of species in Germany. Under the menu point “Associations” ("Gesellschaften"), the likewise collected information about plant communities and their regional endangerment in Germany is stored in the profiles. These profiles of the vegetation units are extended through a database of phytosociological records under the name “VegetWeb”, which is to be continuously expanded. Under the menu point “Vegetation map” the units of the potential natural vegetation of Germany are displayed in profiles, with text explanations and photos, that will be expanded through the map display dynamically linked to the profiles. The data-offering thus defined in the area “Data service” will be expanded in “InformationsNetz” with explanations of the botanical connections and further information about the data sources. ...

The literature database of the vegetation ecology of central Europe of the Braunschweig University Library is a current database in which scientific publications about the flora and vegetation of Central Europe are indexed. Until now, the focus has been on Germany; indexing of the relevant publications for Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy, and Slovenia is planned. The adjacent areas are also taken into consideration in the selection. Currently ca. 11000 publications have been indexed whereby the data are continually updated and expanded. A special feature of the database is that scientists who are active in this area can themselves enter records of their publications into the database via the World Wide Web. Their entries are stored directly in the database and are then immediately searchable worldwide. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
NaturSportInfo is an information system with standardised short abstracts of the literature for the topic area “Effects of Sport and Leisure Time Activities on Flora and Fauna”. (Short abstracts are not, however, available for all titles.). In addition links, definitions, and background information is made available. [Editorial staff vifabio]
"Schriftenschau für den Feldherpetologen" is a bibliography for the biology, ecology, and faunistics of the free-living amphibians and reptiles (from 1990) in German speaking countries. The literature database is the internet transcription of the "Schriftenschau für den Feldherpetologen" of the Natural History Museum, Erfurt. It contains 3 600 citations [June 2004], which can be accessed online. For more than 1100 citations abstracts are available that summarise the content of the citation. ...
