Abstract

Compiling a database of all available data on the distribution of the flora of vascular plants in Flanders (Belgium), extracted from herbaria, literature, former field data (collected in preparation of the national plant distribution atlas: 1940-1972) and recent field data (1972-present). By means of the distribution of combinations of "indicator" species being able to detect regions with high ecological potential in view of opportunities for future nature development. A partnership between the National Botanic Garden of Belgium, the Flemish Institute for Nature Conservation and the Botany lab of the University of Ghent, initiated by the floristic working group FLO.WER.
