Abstract

Metadatabases have improved data visibility and availability to the scientific community. However, in vegetation science, where numerous databases were established on the (multi-)national, regional or local scale, no global metadatabase existed that would facilitate the communication of vegetation data. We compiled the Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases (GIVD; http://www.givd.info), an internet-based resource aimed to contain metadata of existing vegetation databases. For inclusion, databases need to (i) contain temporally and spatially explicit species co-occurrence data for plots of 1 ha or smaller, and (ii) be accessible to the scientific community. This poster summarizes the already registered databases in the GIVD.
