The aims of Tela Botanica are the creation of a network of French speaking botanists, the promotion of co-operative projects, as well as the making available of botanical data. The web presence offers comprehensive possibilities for searches for particular plant species, plant communities, and literature. The offering is supplemented with current information, an events calendar, and indexes of botanical institutions. ... [Editorial staff vifabio]
Der Index Synonymique de la Flore de France von Michel Kerguélen ist eine alphabetische Auflistung der spontanen und kultivierten Taxa der Flora Frankreichs, mit Angaben zu Synonymen und Hybriden. Sie umfaßt etwa 62.000 Taxon-Zitationen. Die verwendete Syntax entspricht den Regelungen des Internationalen Codes der Botanischen Nomenklatur. Vervollständig wird die Zusammenstellung durch bibliographische Angaben zu den Originaldiagnosen der Taxa, durch Chromosomenzahlen und durch Angaben zu den Typusexemplaren der Gattungen. ...

The aim of this web presence is to enable access to habitat information for plant species in the Alsace area. Two alternatives are offered: either, after the selection of a species, a map of its distribution is shown, or lists are presented; the lists show either all the species known to be present in the area of a commune, or all communes within whose areas a particular species has been verified. The cartographic presentation of the floristic inheritance of Alsace is made possible through the utilisation of three data collections: (1) the Brunfels database of the Société Botanique d'Alsace, which contains about 215000 records of occurrence; (2) a part of the phytosociological database SOPHY, with data for Eastern France, which has been made available to the Société Botanique d'Alsace, containing 165000 entries for Alsace; and (3) the database of the Herbarium of the Louis Pasteur University in Strasburg (Strasbourg, STR) currently with 38000 entries. ...

Floraine, the association of botanists of Lorraine, has decided to prepare an atlas of the flora of Lorraine, in cooperation with numerous lorraine institutions (Conservatoire Botanique de Nancy, DIREN, Parc Naturel Régional de Lorraine, ONF...). The project was started in 2002, and should take at least five years. Its aim is to obtain the best possible knowledge of the distribution of all vascular plant species growing in Lorraine. ...

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]
Within Tela Botanica, the network for French-speaking botanists, the web site “Ouvrages numérisés” offers digitised botanical titles for download. It is provided under the warning that there are two categories of digitised works: public domain (the last author died at least 70 years ago, as per section L123 of the Code de la propriété intellectuelle) and other works that are no longer commercially available and contain academic content relevant to botanists. In the second case, a work is withdrawn as quickly as possible if requested by a publisher or author of the online publication. “Ouvrages numérisés” contains not only floras and monographs, digitised by members of the network, but also links to digital libraries or to titles from other providers. ...

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. ...

We are pleased to invite you to the 24th workshop of the European Vegetation Survey, which will be held in Rennes (France) from 4th to 8th May 2015 and co-organized by the Department of Ecology in University of Rennes 1, the Department of Geography in University of Rennes 2 and the French Society of Phytosociology. We propose two main topics for the workshop : Topic 1: "Typology and process as two complementary facets of vegetation survey and mapping", Topic 2: "Vegetation in coastal and inland dunes and cliffs”. ...

In 2011 the Federation des Conservatoires Botaniques Nationaux launched an ambitious collaborative project involving eleven national botanical conservatories of France. The project aims to establish a formal procedure and standardized system for data hosting, aggregation and publication for four areas: flora, fungi, vegetation and habitats. In 2014, the first phase of the project led to the development of the national flora dataset: SIFlore. As it includes about 21 million records of flora occurrences, this is currently the most comprehensive dataset on the distribution of vascular plants (Tracheophyta) in the French territory. SIFlore contains information for about 15'454 plant taxa occurrences (indigenous and alien taxa) in metropolitan France and Reunion Island, from 1545 until 2014. The data records were originally collated from inventories, checklists, literature and herbarium records. ... In order to present our results, a geoportal was developed by the Fédération des conservatoires botaniques nationaux that allows the SIFlore dataset to be publically viewed. As the FCBN belongs to the Information System for Nature and Landscapes’ (SINP), a governmental program, the dataset is also accessible through the websites of the National Inventory of Natural Heritage (http://www.inpn.fr) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (http://www.gbif.fr).
