The project "Coordination office for flora conservation in Bavaria" is preceeded by the project Flora of Bavaria – Data management DWB and concept development Flora
Since 2012, the data from monitoring projects of plant occurrences, which were formerly managed by the "Zentralstelle für die floristische Kartierung Bayerns" (today working group "Flora of Bavaria") in Regensburg, were transferred into the system of the Diversity Workbench, installed at the IT Center of the Staatliche Naturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen Bayerns. The maintenance and further technical and content development of these databases as well as the ongoing demand to gather new data is an essential basis for the usability of this data.
From 2018 onwards the coordination office will be established at the SNSB. Together with the Bayerische Landesamt für Umwelt (LfU) it will be a focus point for botanical issues (for example for volunteering plant experts, public authorities, associations, scientific bodies and scientists). This includes consulting in species and flora conservation in Bavaria. It also oversees the acceptance and technical as well as data curatorial quality control of the observation. The coordination office works intensively together with the AG Flora of Bavaria and the volunteer and employed experts for plant monitoring in Bavaria.
The Botanische Staatssammlung München, a department of the SNSB, enjoys a high reputation among the volunteering botanists and with the SNSB IT Center and the Diversity Workbench (in-house development) offers all the conditions for a secure and long-term data management. The two institutions with their collection curators and data experts, support the coordination office in both a scientific and biodiversity-informatic manner. The longtime close cooperation with the Landesamt für Umwelt (LfU) is continued.

The two-year project „Flora of Bavaria – Data management in the DWB network and concept development for a flora“ started in August 2016. It is based on the results of the project „Flora of Bavaria – Data flow DWB and FIS Natur“. One of the achievments will be the technical and conceptual optimization of the infrastructure for presence and distribution data of plant species from Bavaria mobilised in the preceding project. Data are organised for long-term archiving and to be appropriate for the publication of a flora. The datasets managed in the Diversity Workbench are expanded and new data packages, including the outcoming of the statewide biotope monitoring project of the LfU are integrated. The taxon reference list is routinuously updated. New mechanism for effective data curation and quality control are implemented and the technical infrastructure (server, database engines, portal software) at the SNSB IT Center is extended. The BIB data portal of the flora of Bavaria called Botanischer Informationsknoten Bayern is continuously curated and technically extended.
The improvement of the data flow starting with data gathering in the field by volunteer experts and engaged citizen scientists followd by the data processing at the SNSB IT Center and the delivering of infiormation to the scientific portals and information systems is the core task as in the last years. Curatorial assistance by volunteer experts is highly welcomed and is supported in workshops. The data workflow includes the transfer of data from the Diversity Workbench into Fachinformationssystem Naturschutz. As part of the project we will set up a concept and business plan for the realisation of a Flora. The work is done in close cooperation between the project partners and participating stakeholders.
