The Index to American Botanical Literature provides bibliographic data both on books and articles in periodicals. "The searchable database includes all those entries published in the Index since 1996, and thus includes botanical literature appearing since late 1995. We have made minimal progress in retrospective cataloging, and will continue to add older literature as time and manpower are available. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The database deals with the flora of the British Isles, comprising Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), Ireland (Northern Ireland and Eire), the Isle of Man, and the Channel Islands. In total 3525 species, subspecies and varieties placed in 166 families are included. All vascular plants (pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms) are included, as is traditional in British Floras. The descriptions of all the taxa can be found in the Description field of the Species module. They are brief diagnoses providing what I consider to be the most important characters, and they have been made as consistent and comparable as possible. We are very proud and grateful to have received the cooperation from more than 100 photographers, professional and amateur, who kindly provided us with their slides to illustrate the taxa. ...

The literature database of the vegetation ecology of central Europe of the Braunschweig University Library is a current database in which scientific publications about the flora and vegetation of Central Europe are indexed. Until now, the focus has been on Germany; indexing of the relevant publications for Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy, and Slovenia is planned. The adjacent areas are also taken into consideration in the selection. Currently ca. 11000 publications have been indexed whereby the data are continually updated and expanded. A special feature of the database is that scientists who are active in this area can themselves enter records of their publications into the database via the World Wide Web. Their entries are stored directly in the database and are then immediately searchable worldwide. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]

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. ...

Vorrangiges Ziel der Gesellschaft zur Erforschung der Flora Deutschlands ist die Förderung der floristisch-botanischen Erforschung der Gefäßpflanzen Deutschlands. Ein Schwerpunkt soll auf Taxonomie und Systematik liegen, wobei unter anderem eine Wiederbelebung der hierzulande vernachlässigten Teildisziplinen Karyologie und Autökologie wichtig wäre. Nomenklatorische, chorologische und historische Studien sollen ebenfalls unterstützt werden. Ausdrücklich gefördert werden sollen das wissenschaftliche Herbarisieren und die Auswertung öffentlicher Herbarien, deren Existenzberechtigung mancherorts wegen mangelnder Benutzung in Frage gestellt wird. ...

VegBank is the vegetation plot database of the Ecological Society of America's Panel on Vegetation Classification. VegBank consists of three linked databases that contain (1) the actual plot records, (2) vegetation types recognized in the U.S. National Vegetation Classification and other vegetation types submitted by users, and (3) all plant taxa recognized by ITIS/USDA as well as all other plant taxa recorded in plot records. Vegetation records, community types and plant taxa may be submitted to VegBank and may be subsequently searched, viewed, annotated, revised, interpreted, downloaded, and cited. ...

"Early Classics in Biogeography, Distribution, and Diversity Studies: To 1950" is a bibliography and full-text archive designed as a service to advanced students and researchers engaged in work in biogeography, biodiversity, history of science, and related studies. All items in the bibliography are primary sources and were published in 1950 or before. The subjects involved touch on fields ranging from ecology, conservation, systematics and physical geography, to evolutionary biology, cultural biogeography, paleobiology, and bioclimatology--but have in common a relevance to the study of geographical distribution and diversity. ...
