The project "Köln - kartiert" (translated "Cologne - mapped") aims to record the diversity of the flora of the city of Cologne. It will also foster botanical knowledge and awareness of the public, and provide a foundation for conservation efforts. [Editorial staff vifabio]
This list of specimens by county for the moss flora of the state of Wyoming, U.S.A., was put on line in 2007 is presented “as is,” that is, without revision from a version prepared some 12 years ago while a Research Fellow of the Buffalo Museum of Science, Buffalo, New York. The work at that time had to be terminated due to other pressing needs. That work was not only preliminary, but it was also rudimentary - many nomenclatural changes have been made in bryological nomenclature since work began on that effort. I expect that certain of the determinations will require revision, especially with the extensive revision of genera since volume 27 of the Flora of North America was published in 2007, and that in volume 28, which will be published this year (2013) or in 2014. ...

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]
Since 2001 the German Working Group on Vegetation Databases is dedicated to the development of phytosociological databases. In the face of rampant biodiversity loss, the care for native species and the restoration of communities and ecosystem functions has become an important tool for nature conservation. Interfering with ecological complexity, restoration has to be informed by profound knowledge of species and their interactions in communities. To anticipate actionism, its success has to be carefully measured. Vegetation databases must play a crucial role in the planning, monitoring and readjustment of restoration measures. As comprehensive archives of species co-occurrence vegetation databases allow to define target species and forecast interactions with their competitors and facilitators. For given target species, they allow to identify habitats and communities most suited for re-establishment. Monitoring data stored in databases are readily accessible to statistical analysis of effects and trajectories. The German working group on vegetation databases has therefore chosen ecological restoration as the focal topic of its 13th workshop to be held at the Federal Institute of Hydrology (BFG) in Koblenz from 24 - 26 February 2014. ...

Die Zürcherische Botanische Gesellschaft (ZBG) wurde am 24. November 1890 als Sektion der Schweizerischen Botanischen Gesellschaft gegründet. Sie ist ein Verein, der seine Mitglieder zur Beschäftigung mit der Pflanzenwelt anregen und Erkenntnisse aus der Botanischen Forschung weiter vermitteln möchte. Zu diesem Zweck veranstaltet die ZBG während des Wintersemesters jeweils 6 - 8 Vorträge zu aktuellen Themen aus der Botanik. Im Sommersemester werden Exkursionen durchgeführt. Daten und Themen der Vorträge und Exkursionen finden Sie auf dieser Webseite; den Mitgliedern werden sie auch durch den Postversand des Programms bekannt gegeben. Die Generalversammlung findet einmal pro Jahr anschließend an den letzten Vortrag im Wintersemester statt. Sämtliche Mitglieder sind stimm- und wahlberechtigt. Die ZBG zählt rund 280 Mitglieder. Exkursionen und Vorträge werden durch Mitgliederbeiträge finanziert. Via Email erhalten Sie Vortrags- und Exkursionsprogramme als pdf-Datei sowie Erinnerungsschreiben zu den Wintervorträgen. ...

Die Initiative „Flora von Bayern“ existiert seit mehr als 100 Jahren. Ziel ist es, alle Gefäßpflanzen einschließlich der natürlich vorkommenden, neu eingebürgerten, invasiven, aber auch der ausgestorbenen Arten zu beschreiben. Als floristische Initiative hat sie es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht den Zustand der Flora über Zeit und Raum zu erfassen und zu dokumentieren. Die 2011 gegründete Arbeitsgemeinschaft Flora von Bayern unterstützt dies maßgeblich und bereitet die Veröffentlichung einer modernen Flora von Bayern vor. Zur Verwirklichung dieses Projekts ist die Mitarbeit der ehrenamtlichen Kartierer sowie der zahlreichen Projekte, Gesellschaften und Vereine in allen Regionen Bayerns entscheidend. Pflanzenliebhaber und -kenner sind aufgerufen, das Vorhaben mit eigenen Beobachtungen zu unterstützen. ... [Information des Anbieters]
This is our collection of wild flowers which aims to provide high quality images that can assist with plant identification and convey the beauty of European nature. The database contains 268 species to date and mainly consists of alpine plants from Northern Italy, many of which are also found in other European regions. ... [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]
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). ...
