Project details.
1. eflore
This is devised to collect, compile and make use, thanks to the computer database, of details concerning plants.
What is the purpose of this project?
Eflore aims to construct a database and software library which will contain descriptive files of plants, tools of determination , details of research, and of publications about the French flora .
All the software used is under free licence. It can be re-used freely.

This project uses the contents of the nomenclatural database of the French flora devised by Benoit BOCK.
Indices of the floras of Reunion, Guadaloupe, and Martinique have been added.
This project is developed in close collaboration with the Laboratory of Computer and Systematic studies, of the University of Paris VI

2. Invasive plants

To improve our knowledge about invasive species in Languedoc -Roussillon and to map their distributions.
What is the purpose of this project?
The Mediterranean Agency of the Environment, DIREN and the National Mediterannean Botany Conservatory at Porquerolles began research about invasive plants and their impact on the Languedoc Roussillon region in 2003.

The Tela botanica network has associated itself with them and provides tools of communication and interpretative activity, inviting botanists of the district to collect and to transmit their discoveries in the field.

Firstly, the objectives are to evaluate the current distribution of some species which are judged to be invasive.
In the long term this project will improve our knowledge about the
ecological preferences of these species and it will permit us to better evaluate the risks which are induced by their proliferation.

With the co-operation of the botanists of the tela-botanica network,
restorations of degraded sites will be regularly achieved. Data will be put online and accessible to everybody.

3. The French herbaria

To achieve an inventory of all French herbaria which are available for internet consultation .
What is the purpose of this project?
France has numerous herbaria of varied size and rank: some are a witness to the botanic exploration of the earth, and they include numerous ‘type specimens’.
Some others have gathered together the fruits of more local exploration and they constitute a mine of botanical information indispensable for the conservation of both species and the environment.

The Index of Herbaria lists about fifty, although there are certainly more.
Also it is urgent to constitute a database which is more complete on the herbaria in public ownership or otherwise open to consultation: this project has the ambition to organise the gathering together of all such details existing on all French territory and to put them at the disposal of everybody, online, on the Tela Botanica website.

This project is on partnership with Museum of Natural History in Paris.

This project takes place with a European initiative beause it is inspired and is interacting with the  BioCase project which is hoping to bring an interconnection between all biological collections.

Project with partnership of Montpellier II university

XPER-BOTANICA

Realize and diffuse tools for help in plant identification with PC.

What are the objectives of this project ?

The question is of imagining and realizing. Then it must test dynamic tools for help in plant identification in various context for usage : at home or at laboratory, via Internet or in local, with PC and on the field with pocket computer (PDA).

Integration of innovator technologies has displayed to give an effective access for the knowledge of vegetal description. It enable to identify all plants of the French Flora.

Utilization of Internet is inescapable for this project because it is made so as to be totally decentralized within the context of the French Botanists Network.

A first application is beeing to be realize on 92 plants in the Dipsacales.

Phytosociological panels


Put online the original descriptive panel of French vegetable association with their bibliographic sources.


What are the objectives of this project ?
It consist in arranged panels about phytosociologic statements. These lists the spacies which are present in each association, giving them the appropriate semi-quantitative ratios. (abundance-dominance).

Some synthetic panels of frequency (with Roman column of frequency categories ) can be also presented. Exceptionally, we can accept simple lists of spacies in the absence of more detailed data. Synthesis panel concerning association, notification and category, will be also at your disponibility.

Later on, We also show some more recently databases which are in France.

You would find on the website a lot of panels and system of references about algae, moss, batrachian, mammal and their ecologic environments.

Plants distribution on the departmental scale


To realize some distribution maps of the French plants

What are the objectives of this project ?

On the Metropolitan French website contrarily to others countries, we don't find some distribution maps about the flora which are consutable online.

This require a very important work to collect information. In the first point, the botanists whole Network deals with examine the bibliography. In the second point, It must put online these data for the departmental scale.

This project has begun in the course of the 2002 year and it continues to actualize the data.

You can find more information on the project "Chorology" at the following address : http : www.tela-botanica.org/projets and consult the lists on the address : http://www.tela-botanica.org/chorologie

Plants names in vernacular language


To collect the vernacular plants names in the main languages

What are the objectives of this project ?

The botanists uses a scientific name for plants which doesn't satisfy the general public. It doesn't know often their equal and vernacular denomination. Then, a wide collect of Metropolitan plants of vernacular names has been undertaken to research the equal denomination of the equal species in the Nomenclature Database of the French Flora (It is realized by Benoît BOCK).

For beginning, 7 European languages have been selected : French, Italian, Spanish (Castilian), Catalan, English, German and Deutch language with indication of the origine geographical (a same plant doen't have always the same name in France, Belgium or in Switzerland!)

You can research the versacular names and the scientific names corresponding to a plant on : http://www.tela-botanica.org/eflora

To participate, you can :
- Consult the plants index on Tela Botanica realizing a research thanks to the versecular names

Nomenclatural Database of the French Flora


Realize regularly upgrade all plants names and their synonyms for the French Flora

What are the objectives of this project ?

At the initiative of B. Bock, this project is considered like the fondator project of the Tela Botanica Network. Indeed, He is one of the first to rally the network ressources. His objectives are to enter a database and to verify methodically the Synonymy Index of the French Flora. This index had been realized by Michel KERGUELEN (INRA, dead in 1999) and it doesn't contain less than 75 000 plants names.

This database is a botanical reference for the national inventory of the natural patrimony managed by the Museum of the Natural History from Paris.

This database is accessible on Internet and is used like referential for several others projects : vernaculars names plants, departmental chorologie, etc.

Discovering and learning botanical on internet


Pedagogic documents on the Tela Botanica website to permit all different public to impove their botanical knwledge
What are the objectives of this project ?
Botanical is one of several discipline which are learnt in few specialized programs as pharmacy and veterinary schools.Botanical isn't taught in middle and high scholl as desriptive plants discipline, about their organisation, application and ecology.Botanical had been suplanted by descriptive or molecular biology.

Also, this project of put online about pedagogic content had been created to collect and organize course access, educational sofware, scientific notes from internet. All discipline are concerned like fondement discipline(vegetal biology, ecology,systematic ...) to application discipline (forest exploitation, pharmacology, malherbology...).

Objective is to propose pdagogic contents which are accomodated to differents high level from
  • elementary school to superior and professionnal teaching.
