During the first thirty years of Atlas Florae Europaeae (AFE), the basic technology for the collection of distribution data and publication of distribution maps has remained practically unchanged. Manual map production as such is rather tedious. Furthermore, distribution data available only on printed maps are not suitable for further (computerized) analyses. The construction of the Atlas Florae Europaeae database was started in 1992. The primary goal was to make the distribution data available in digital format, and the additional goal was the computerization of the editorial process of AFE. The printed AFE distribution maps were processed this way: - the maps were scanned at 300 dpi resolution / - locations of the grid cells (4419) were calculated on the scanned bitmap images / - arrays of black pixels were searched from the bitmaps using custom software / - the map originals and and their interpretation were compared using custom software. So far all printed AFE volumes (1 to 12) have been processed this way. ... [Information of the supplier]
Euro+Med PlantBase ("the information resource for euro-mediterranean plant diversity") provides an on-line database and information system for the vascular plants of Europe and the Mediterranean region, against an up-to-date and critically evaluated consensus taxonomic core of the species concerned. After several years of planning, the project is now firmly underway. The first stage of the project (referred to as Phase One) has been financed for three years by the European Union under Framework V. This database is constantly expanded and improved. Already in 2009, EuroMed provides three of the largest families: Compositae (Asteraceae, sunflower family) Poaceae (Gramineae, grass family) Rosaceae (rose family); and the following smaller families: Alismataceae, Aponogetonaceae, Basellaceae, Butomaceae, Cabombaceae, Chenopodiaceae (only tribus Salicornieae), Corylaceae, Elatinaceae, Geraniaceae, Haloragaceae, Hippuridacae, Hydrocharitaceae Juncaginaceae Lemnaceae Lilaeaceae Myricaceae Najadaceae, Nelumbonaceae, Nymphaeaceae, Posidoniaceae, Potamogetonaceae, Proteaceae, Ruppiaceae, Scheuchzeriaceae, Sparganiaceae, Tetragoniaceae, Zannichelliaceae, Zosteraceae, Zygophyllaceae. Common names were not yet available in all languages. By April 2015 Euro+Med Plantbase provided access to 190 plant families, corresponding to ca. 95 % of the European flora of vascular plants. ...

Flora Europaea Data Base contains data on the nomenclature of the vascular plants of Europe. The data provided here have been extracted from the digital version of the Flora Europaea, the full version of which is held in the PANDORA taxonomic data base system at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

SynBioSys Europe, an initiative of the European Vegetation Survey, is an information system for the evaluation and management of biodiversity among plant species, vegetation types and landscapes. The project is coordinated from Alterra at Wageningen, in The Netherlands, and will function as a network of distributed databases related through a web-server. It incorporates a GIS platform for the visualisation of layers of information on plant species, vegetation and landscape data, and offers the possibility to identify vegetation types and to analyse the patterns and processes which relate them to plant species, and landscape types. The expert system will enhance the capacity of European nature and environment agencies to participate in the management and interpretation of information on species, vegetation and landscape both at a national and at a European scale. ...

B-VegAna (Vegetation edition and Analysis) is an integrated software package oriented towards the storage, management and analysis of ecological data. The package consists of several programs which can be run independently. It includes ten applications (Fagus, Quercus, Ginkgo, Yucca, Zamia, Taxus, Webherb, Wisteria WMS, Welwitschia and Araucaria). The first seven applications offer the opportunity for any user to manage biodiversity data in many interesting ways with an unified interface and data format, the last three apps provide webservices. After almost nine years of development they have become solid tools with a clearly defined added value. Examples for available applications are: (1) Ginkgo - multivariate analysis tool. Oriented mainly towards ordination and classification of ecological data, stressing methods based on symmetric matrices. (2) Quercus - a relevé table editor. It handles relevé data allowing the user to perform phytosociological works. (3) Fagus - floristic records editor. It can handle data coming from field surveys, bibliographic sources or collections. (4) Yucca - a cartographic plotting tool, that enables the user to plot taxa or syntaxa distributions. Taxon, syntaxon or bibliographic thesauri can be edited within the programs. ...

Telmee is the Dutch way of saying "Count with us" – an invitation to participate in this international project to record the enormous biodiversity of our continent. Recording which plants and animals occur on which locations in our country is important for the conservation of our nature. Nature sightings can only really be used if they are adequately recorded. And if they end up in a centralised database, so a complete overview will be available. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Invasive Plants database focuses on vascular plants (excluding algae and mosses), with special attention to aquatic (non-marine) plants, because these plants cause acute and imminent problems in the ecozone comprising the Netherlands. [Information of the supplier]
Diese Webseite wurde von Michael Hassler und Thomas Meyer erstellt und befasst sich mit der Flora des Mittelmeerraumes und der Alpen. Es sind akutell 358 Pflanzenarten sowie 1617 Bilder erfasst und es kann mit Hilfe eines Artenverzeichnisses gearbeitet oder nach den Pflanzenfamilien gesucht werden. Die Pflanzen sind in der Regel mit Bildern und weiteren Informationen versehen. Die Seite entstand durch die Hilfe einer ganzen Reihe von Personen, deren themennahen Webseiten ebenfalls auf dieser Webseite verlinkt sind. ... [Redaktion vifabio]
