Der Botanische Informationsknoten Bayern ist ein Gemeinschaftsprojekt folgender Partner: Zentralstelle für die Floristische Kartierung Bayerns; Bayerisches Landesamt für Umwelt; Landesbund für Vogelschutz, Arbeitskreis Botanik. Diese Institutionen möchten hier die Daten, Informationen und Hilfsmittel zur Flora Bayerns bereitstellen, die ihnen selbst und anderen Quellen vorliegen. Ihr Ziel ist, auf diese Weise die verstreuten Ressourcen zu verknüpfen und damit die Kenntnisse um die bayerische Flora in Öffentlichkeit, Naturschutz und Wissenschaft zu fördern. ...

A historical review of vegetation classification in Madagascar reveals that the classical map and "phytogeographic" territories of Perrier de la Bâthie and Humbert are largely a subjective reflection of climatological factors, and do not adequately reflect fundamental biogeographic patterns. Delimitation of phytochoria based on the distribution patterns of taxa provides an objective framework for comparing and mapping vegetation types using a simple physiognomic classification. The application of this approach in Madagascar would make it possible to test the validity of the classical divisions and circumscribe alternative ones, and to determine the current extent of natural and anthropogenic formations (principally secondary grasslands, often called "prairies", "pseudosteppes", etc., which cover about three quarters of the country). Before the arrival of man, the original woody vegetation types in the drier west (forest, woodland, bushland, etc.) were in a fragile equilibrium and could quickly have been converted to secondary grassland by fires; in the moister center more active human intervention (clearing) was likely required to alter the vegetation. Contrary to recent claims, native grasslands were not widespread immediately prior to the arrival of humans, but were probably restricted to small patches. Today, human impacts can be seen in all Malagasy vegetation types, even supposedly undisturbed "native" forest. ... [Information of the supplier]
ActKey was developed to enable ready-access to on-line interactive keys, including partly illustrated implementation of the punched card system for flowering plant family identification (by Hansen, B., and K. Rahn. 1969. Determination of angiosperm families by means of a punched-card system. Dansk Botanisk Arkiv 26:1-46 + 172 punched cards) and many other sources. ...

The Virtual Herbarium collects images of plants found in the Balearic Islands. The greater number corresponds to autochthonous species, although cultivated and ornamental plants are included as well. The Virtual Herbarium is a tool initially created for the botany students of our university, but will be useful to anyone with an interest in the subject. Although created as a teaching tool, it does not renounce its use as a scientific key for plant identification. ... [Information of the supplier]
This module presents basic content on the distribution and nature of the world's major biomes. It considers the structure, characteristic growthforms, and taxonomic affiliations of the vegetation; major soil order(s); and common adaptive characteristics of the fauna of the tundra, boreal forest, temperate broadleaf deciduous forest, tropical broadleaf evergreen forest, tropical savanna, temperate grasslands, desertscrub, and Mediterranean shrub biomes. Study hints and critical thinking questions follow the content units. ... [Information of the supplier]
You can find interesting plants everywhere in Britain and Ireland. This site is intended to help you identify them. On the following pages you will be presented with a questionnaire on the characteristics of the plant you are trying to identify. Fill in the form and press search, the computer will then try and identify the plant you have found. You may also like to use the system to obtain a check-list of plants from a particular habitat or perhaps find flowers of a particular colour to grow in your garden. Feel free to experiment, there are many uses for the system. ... [Information of the supplier]
Because of their enjoyment of, and interest in, the plant world, botanists, plant lovers, and friends of nature of all ages and professions have amalgamated in the Botanical Association for Nature Protection in Hesse (BNVH). We put our collective knowledge to the service of nature protection and particularly the protection of the plant world. In 1986 the BVNH was recognised as a Hessian nature protection association as defined in §29 of the Federal Nature Conservancy Act thereby obtaining the right (amongst others) to bring attention to the needs of nature protection in public planning, particularly from a botanical viewpoint. We arrange excursions and lectures in which you learn not only botanical and natural history facts, but also make contact with other people. From our membership list you can find out whether, or where, like-minded people live in your vicinity. Our journal Botanik und Naturschutz in Hessen contains contributions with useful facts and ideas for interested plant friends. You will find plant-sociological and ecological articles as well as floristic announcements, book reviews, literature reports and society news. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
You use mainly eyes to experience the world around you, just like other people. This atlas of plants in Poland was created with you in mind. Every species is accompanied by a good number of photographs to make it easy for you to recognise it. Over the years, the author of the atlas and its contributing associates have taken many thousand of photos. I have carefully selected from that number those few thousand that will prove to be the biggest help in your floristic professional work or hobby. You can purchase a Professional Version of the atlas, which is the most up-to-date edition on DVD - containing the same or even more recent material than the WWW site. ...
