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 plant inventory and monitoring projects, 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 for 4 years the coordination office will be - together with the Bayerische Landesamt für Umwelt (LfU) - a focal 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 occurrence data. The coordination office works closely together with the AG Flora of Bavaria and the volunteering, commissioned and employed experts for plant inventories and monitoring projects 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.
