VEGETATIONPLOTDATABASE
LOng Term Vegetation Sampling (LOTVS)

The LOTVS (LOng-Term Vegetation Sampling) database is a collection of vegetation data using permanent plots worldwide. At present the database includes vegetation data from 80 study areas covering grasslands, shrublands and forest understory around the globe

RecruitNet: A global database of plant recruitmentnetworks

A data set containing 143 plant recruitment networks in 23 countries across five conti-nents, including temperate and tropical ecosystems. The data set includes >850,000recruiting individuals involved in 118,411 paired interactions among 3318 vas-cular plant species across the globe

sPlot

sPlot is the largest repository for plant community data in the world, containing more than 1 million records with full lists of plant species co-occurring in small areas (plots)

sPlotOpen

Vegetation plot database with abundance of naturally co-occurring vascular plant species within delimited areas

WHAT WE DO
  • Provide training and technical support for modelling activities to research groups at CREAF.
  • Develop and promote the use of process-based and empirical models aimed at predicting the response of terrestrial ecosystems to global change at multiple scales from the forest stand to the region.
  • Facilitate discovery of data sets or models relevant for ecosystem modelling activities.
  • Develop tools aimed at facilitating the interoperability between data sources and models, and between different models.
  • Develop and maintain interactive web applications for ecosystem data exploration and visualization.
