UIBM aims to simulate plant diversity in herbaceous, grassland communities, which hold the majority of vascular plant diversity in Central-Europe. UIBM aims to simulate the plant diversity response to management intensification, nutrient load and climate change factors. It improves species distribution models, which restrict themselves to climate change. UIBM is a process-based model. This is an advantage over empirical/statistical species distribution models, which rely heavily on expert knowledge and suffer from methodological limitations. UIBM simulates local species composition of herb communities on a Braun-Blanquet minimum area. These are advantages over process-based dynamic global vegetation models, which are limited to large-scale plant functional type responses of natural vegetation and difficult to validate. ...

Plant traits - morphological, anatomical, biochemical, physiological or phenological features of individuals or their component organs or tissues - are a key to understanding and predicting the adaptation of ecosystems in the face of biodiversity loss and global change. To improve the empirical data basis for such projections, in 2007 the TRY project was initiated, aimed at bringing together the different plant trait databases worldwide. In this context TRY is not an acronym, rather a statement of sentiment. Since 2007 the TRY database has accomplished an unprecedented coverage. It contains more than 5 million trait records for 1,100 traits of 2.2 million individual plants, representing 100,000 plant species. About halve of the data are geo-referenced, providing a global coverage of more than 12,000 measurement sites. ... [Information of the supplier]
Biologists, land managers, students, and members of the general public are invited to participate in the International Tropical Botany and Pine Rockland Conference, to be held October 23-28, 2016, in Miami, Florida, USA. This FREE conference will consist of two days of scientific presentations, as well as pre- and post-conference field trips to visit pine rocklands throughout South Florida. ...

On behalf of the New Phytologist Trust and symposium organisers, I am pleased to invite you to participate in a symposium entitled ‘Trait covariation: Structural and functional relationships in plant ecology’ to be held in Exeter, UK, 27 – 29 June 2017. Registration is now open. Field ecologists and ecosystem modellers share a common challenge – simplifying structural and functional attributes of ecosystems while accurately capturing the diversity observed in nature. Achieving a balance between these goals, and improving the predictability of the terrestrial biosphere, has spawned advances and debate. An exciting field of research is being forged at the intersection of plant ecology and ecosystem modelling, where both communities are seeking to understand and harness covariation among plant traits. ...

Current activities are focussed towards the production of the first volume of the Flora of Nepal and capacity building projects in Nepal (e.g. a Darwin Initiative project) aimed at strengthening the institutional and human resources so that the Nepalese can fully engage in the production of the Flora.

Bei der Ansprache schwierig zu bestimmender Pflanzenarten treten immer wieder Probleme auf. Die hier abrufbaren digitalen Bilder wichtiger Details können helfen, diese zu meistern. Sie bieten vor allem die Möglichkeit, ähnlich aussehende Sippen vergleichend nebeneinander zu betrachten. Dadurch fällt es wesentlich leichter, die in den Bestimmungsschlüsseln genannten Unterschiede zu erkennen. Die Bestimmungshilfen sind als Ergänzung zur "Flora von Thüringen" gedacht. Sie können aber auch den Umgang mit den meisten anderen Bestimmungsbüchern zur Flora von Deutschland erleichtern. ... [Information des Anbieters]
The Andean Botanical Information System (ABIS) presents information from floristic and systematic investigations of the flowering plants (phanerogams) of Andean South America. Topics include selected geographic regions and groups of Andean plants, flora of coastal Peru and Chile, floristic inventories from a variety of habitats in northern Peru, bibliographic resources, and searchable databases. ...

The atlas of Florida vascular plants is a joint effort by the Institute for Systematic Botany, the University of South Florida and the Florida Center for Community Design and Research to provide users with a comprehensive searchable database of vascular plants in the State of Florida. Records are based on collections in the four major Florida institutional herbaria having the largest holdings of Florida plants: University of Florida (FLAS), Florida State University (FSU), Fairchild Tropical Gardens (FTG), and University of South Florida (USF). ...

Distribution of all species: Distribution maps of more than 2600 plant species are available as GIF images. The plant names to select are in Latin, German, French and Italian. Additionally, Red List data and Landolt's indicator values are displayed. Distribution of rarest species: 132 distribution maps of very rare plants taken from the publication 'Merkblätter Artenschutz: Blütenpflanzen und Farne' (1999. Käsermann C. und Moser D.M.). Mapping areas: The distribution maps are based on an inventory conducted in 1967-79, for which information on species occurrences in 593 contiguous mapping areas was collected nationwide. Species richness: Information on regional diversity such as absolute number of species, simulated number of species, number of neophytes etc. The information comes in the form of commented maps.(German and italian only). ...
