The Biodiversity Data Bank wants to be a compilation of all Catalonia biodiversity information. It is developed by the computerisation of all Catalonia species available records. The record computerisation is completed by supplementary data, like biology, distribution, ecology, etc. The aim in project is to know and to compile the maximum number of bibliographic records about Catalonia biodiversity. This records are the information source of the Data Bank. This knowledges will allow us to know, moreover the distribution species and biological data, its conservation status and degrees of threat, rareness, endemicity, etc. Data regarding cormophytic flora, vegetation, fungi, vertebrates and arthropods has been computerised nowadays, thanks to an agreement between the Barcelona University and the Environment Department of the Generalitat of Catalonia. ...

This web site aims to foster knowledge about critical taxa in the flora of Germany by providing high-resolution scans of selected herbarium specimens. For the respective taxa short morphological description are provided as well. [Information of the supplier, translated and modified]
The Great Region, located between Rhine, Mosel, Sarre and Meuse, has a total area of 65.401 km2. Biogeographically, it is spread over the oceanic and continental zones. The administrative complexity of the Great Region, four countries and five regional entities, offer a challenging opportunity for trans-boundary collaboration in terms of Nature Conservation. Since many years, administrations, scientists and naturalists gather primary biodiversity data that are crucial for science-based decisions making. This website offers a trans-boundary view on species observations related to Birds and Habitats Directive, this project will deliver a more accurate evaluation of Natura2000 network. By linking nature monitoring, scientific research and innovation technology, it exposes publically funded data to a wider public and raises biodiversity loss awareness. Bio-GR makes available data that are shared by several data publishers from the Greater Region. These data are shared according to the Data Usage Agreement, which includes the provision that users of any data accessed through or retrieved via the Bio-GR Portal will always give credit to the original data publishers. ...

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. ...

‘Botany in Pictures’ has set itself the aim of documenting the entire flora of Austria and the adjoining regions in pictures. In the meantime, our digital picture archive has grown to more than 30000 photos whereby we have been able to enlarge our own picture holding with numerous entries from other photo-botanists who have generously made their photos available to us. Thus, we can quickly expand ‘Botany in Pictures’ and continually show new pictures on the internet. Up to now, 1800 species have been documented in ‘Botany in Pictures’, with more than 2700 pictures. Many other pictures can be made available by request. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
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]
Welcome to the website of the Canadian National Vegetation Classification (CNVC). The mandate of the CNVC is to comprehensively classify and describe natural and semi-natural Canadian vegetation in an ecologically meaningful manner. The classification will ultimately be a hierarchical taxonomy of vegetation conditions at different levels of generalization. Work is ongoing, and updates are made to the site as portions of the classification are confirmed. Parts of the site are under construction and new material is constantly being developed. This site contains all materials produced by the CNVC partnership, including: 1) background documentation on the project, its governance, and the CNVC partnership; 2) description of the classification structure and CNVC standards of methodology, data, and analysis; 3) names of all confirmed classified elements (to date) and factsheets (in PDF format) that have been completed (see Associations List). The classified elements are searchable on multiple criteria. ... [Information of the supplier]
This part-offering from a more comprehensive web presence dealing with the biodiversity of Wallonia (Belgium) offers digitised distribution maps for higher plants from the distribution atlas of E. van Rompaey & L. Delvosalle (1979; Atlas de la Flore belge et luxembourgeoise), that encompasses the whole of Belgium. The electronic availability is meant to encourage more research into the distribution of plants in Wallonia. ... [Editorial staff vifabio]
The Botanical Exploration in Myanmar project is a collaborative effort involving participants from the U.S. National Herbarium, the Forest Department of Myanmar, and the University of Yangon. In April 2003 we published a checklist of the gymnosperms and angiosperms of Myanmar in the Smithsonian Contributions to Botany series. This checklist updates four previous editions dating back to 1912. This Web site presents only the 2003 version of the checklist. The database of names for the checklist is being kept up to date with new information and the current version is available here. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Chinese Virtual Herbarium (CVH) is an on-line portal allowing access to herbarium specimen information and other botanical knowledge. CVH is a collaboration among more than 20 major herbaria in China (see list of participating herbaria at the end of this leaflets) with the aim of creating comprehensive and sustainable access to scholarly resources about China’s plant biodiversity. Its long-term goal is the production and maintenance of a comprehensive online database aggregating and linking information that is presently scattered around China, and the world. The database will dramatically improve access to this information for students, scholars, and scientists worldwide, and for public users as well. One of CVH’s initial goals is to encourage Chinese scholars and experts, mainly plant taxonomists, to collect data and organize specimens into botanical databases covering China’s plant species. Once included in CHV, it will be possible to access this information globally. ... [Information of the supplier]
