Digital data on plant distribution

 

Coordination: Angela A. Bruch, Torsten Utescher

ChoroTree

ChoroTree is a datbase for chorology of trees and shrubs. Information for the global distribution of plant were collected, which are illustrated as maps. These distribution-maps are based on polygon-data, point data and grid-data, which got transfered into GIS-compliant data. An easy to use webpage provides one table for each taxon, containing map ID, mapped taxon, actual taxon name, genus, family, reference and a map link. Finner grided maps can be obtained by contacting the webmaster Christopher Traiser.
