It is developed by scientists from four French research organisations (Cirad, INRA, Inria and IRD), and the Tela Botanica network, with the financial support of Agropolis fondation.

Among other features, this free app helps identifying plant species from photographs, through a visual recognition software. Plant species that are well enough illustrated in the botanical reference database can be easily recognized.
This app works on more than 4100 species of wild flora of the French territory, the species list is available through the application. The number of species and the number of images used by the application evolve with contributions of end users to the project.

It doesn't allow the identification of ornamental plants. It works even better than the pictures submitted are focused on one organ. Pictures of tree leaves on uniform background provide the most relevant results.

If you correctly identify a species, you can participate to the project by submitting your observation with the "contribution" button. These contributions subject to a moderation process will be validated collaboratively.

Porquê uma aplicação para mapear plantas invasoras?

As plantas invasoras estão dispersas por todo o território e a sua distribuição altera-se rapidamente, pelo que ter um mapa atualizado da sua distribuição não é tarefa fácil.

A sua colaboração é valiosa: a informação recolhida será fundamental como ferramenta de gestão e como base para estudos científicos. Para além de poder submeter avistamentos de plantas invasoras, também pode aprender mais sobre elas, com a ajuda de um pequeno guia descritivo.

Mas o que são plantas invasoras?

Plantas invasoras são plantas não-nativas que, depois de introduzidas pelo Homem, conseguem reproduzir-se e dispersar pelos próprios meios, e aumentar muito a sua distribuição no território. São uma ameaça para a biodiversidade e para os ecossistemas nativos, e representam prejuízos significativos a nível económico. Só na Europa, estima-se que os prejuízos relacionados com as espécies invasoras sejam muito acima de 10 biliões de euros por ano.

Um grupo de investigadores do Centro de Ecologia Funcional da Universidade de Coimbra (CFE/UC) e da Escola Superior Agrária de Coimbra (ESAC) desenvolve, há mais de uma década, investigação com plantas invasoras e, paralelamente, investe na divulgação do tema junto da sociedade. No âmbito do projeto “Plantas Invasoras: uma ameaça vinda de fora”, estão a dinamizar uma atividade de ciência participativa no site http://invasoras.uc.pt , que pretende estimular os cidadãos a colaborar no preenchimento deste mapa.

Como funciona a aplicação?

Cada utilizador pode submeter registos da localização das plantas invasoras que encontra. Primeiro, é necessário criar uma conta de utilizador em invasoras.uc.pt. Depois de registado, pode entrar na aplicação e mantê-la ligada sem necessidade de fazer login de cada vez que a utiliza.

A aplicação apresenta uma lista de 46 plantas invasoras, ordenadas pelo nome científico. Comece por selecionar a espécie que está a observar, com ajuda das fotografias e descrições fornecidas. No canto superior direito da aplicação existe uma ferramenta de pesquisa que pode ajudar na identificação – basta clicar, selecionar a cor da flor, o porte da planta e o tipo de folha, e a lista de espécies será significativamente reduzida. Se persistirem dúvidas, pode consultar informação detalhada sobre as espécies em invasoras.uc.pt

Depois de selecionada a espécie, está pronto para fazer um novo avistamento; basta seguir as instruções que surgem e preencher os dados requeridos. Sempre que possível, aconselhamos o uso de GPS para uma localização mais exata. O preenchimento é rápido e nem todos os campos são obrigatórios. Tem um campo para “notas” onde pode colocar informação adicional que considere útil. À medida que utilizar a aplicação aprenderá a reconhecer as espécies, e será mais fácil e rápido utilizá-la: se o GPS estiver a funcionar, em menos de 1 minuto fará um registo.

Os avistamentos submetidos podem ser visualizados no mapa disponível em invasoras.uc.pt. No entanto, os avistamentos só ficarão visíveis depois de validados. No site pode ainda consultar os seus avistamentos, editá-los, ou apagá-los antes de serem validados, e submeter novos avistamentos.

A aplicação foi desenvolvida pela Bundlr e os conteúdos por investigadores do CFE/UC e da ESAC. O projecto “Plantas Invasoras: uma ameaça vinda de fora (ref 16905)” é co-financiado pela UE/FEDER, através do QREN (Programa Factores de Competitividade — COMPETE) e por fundos nacionais através da Ciência Viva.

The identification process is not computer-based, it requires human involvement. Therefore each identification is paid using Google's in-app purchase. One plant identification costs 1 USD / 0.7 EUR. If we can't identify your plant, you don't pay anything.

Everybody gets one identification for free as a trial.

Our team will respond as soon as possible, but the identification usually takes minutes or hours. So far, we have been able to identify 90% plants in average.

The contents include:
- 118 species: all the native trees as well as those which most frequently become established in the wild in Andorra, continental Portugal, peninsular Spain and the Balearic Islands. Each species entry includes a distribution map, a brief description and one or more photos.

- 2 different ways to search (directed and open), which the user can choose between to intuitively identify species.

- More than 300 illustrations that facilitate species identification.

- Around 400 photos showing the most characteristic details of each species.

- A glossary containing more than 80 terms.

Arbolapp does not need an internet connection to work, making it really useful for trips into the natural environment. Its contents are aimed at anyone wanting to learn about or increase their knowledge of the trees they find in their surroundings. For this reason, an effort has been made to use understandable language and simple explanations without dumbing down the content.

Arbolapp has been developed by the most important Spanish research association, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), through its Deputy Vice Chair of Scientific Culture and the Royal Botanic Garden. It is also funded by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT).

Botaniculum is a perfect tool for plant identification, not only for botanists but for interested laymen as well.

The Botaniculum database knows about 7,000 plant names. It contains classification attributes and detailed information regarding major domestic and wild growing plants, as well as medicinal plants.

In addition, there are 2,500 large-format color photos and illustrations in brilliant HD quality.

The wealth of information in Botaniculum corresponds to a textbook of more than 1,000 pages, yet this data collection fits into any pocket.

Botaniculum is easy and intuitive to use. In seven steps or mostly less, even laymen will identify any native wild plant with the help of his or her smartphone (according to flower color, flower shape, inflorescence, leaf shape, leaf arrangement of leaves, leaf edge and specific shape). In addition, fruit type, fruit color, bloom time, collection time and many other properties can be specified.

Photos can be added to each plant - taken with the internal camera or added from existing photo collections.
Many search functions and a fast full-text search option make it possible to use Botaniculum as a comprehensive and convenient reference. With a few clicks, the plants are sorted according to their properties, which include medicinal plants, culinary herbs, their use in homeopathy, bloom time, collection time, species, habitat and many more - the search possibilities are almost endless.

Numerous synonyms in the database allow the user to quickly locate plants by their popular or botanical names.

Botaniculum contains information about the healing effects of the more than 400 medicinal plants. Their applications and contraindications are listed, as well as their possible homeopathic use and other interesting details.

The database contains information about poisonous plants as well: toxins, toxic effects and toxic parts of the plants are listed.

Edible plants are listed with detailed information about collecting time, preparation, taste and culinary use.
It is possible to add user-defined categories and comments to each plant.

All information is available “offline” at any time after installing the Botaniculum App on your Android device: after installation, an internet connection is not necessary, therefore no connection costs will be incurred and the program functions of Botaniculum work in remote places.

The Botaniculum image database requires 600 MB internal storage capacity.If you want to install the image database on an external sd-card, please contact support@botaniculum.de.

The Loss of the Night app turns your eyes into a light meter, allowing you to become a citizen scientist and report how bright the night sky is where you live!

In many parts of the world, the night sky shines with wasted artificial light from poorly designed street lamps. Skyglow outshines the stars in the skies, and dramatically changes the natural nighttime environment. Scientists are concerned that light pollution might have a big impact on nocturnal ecosystems, but they have very little information about how bright the actually sky is worldwide, or how skyglow is changing over the years.

You can help monitor skyglow using this app! It's based on Google's Sky Map, and lets you make measurements with a very sensitive, stable, and well understood light meter: your eyes! All you need to do is look for certain stars in the sky, and tell us whether you can see them or not. Using the Loss of the Night app is both fun and educational, and it also generates important scientific information that might help to protect the environment in the future.

After you've finished your measurement, your data will be anonymously sent to the GLOBE at Night project (http://www.GLOBEatNight.org), where you can see it on a map and compare it to other observations from around the world. Counting stars is a great experience and family activity, and you might find that you learn the names of stars and constellations without even trying. Students can use the app to measure skyglow and star visibility for their own science projects, and at the same time be part of a global citizen science network.

The most important information for this project comes from brightly lit places where you can't see many stars, but you're welcome to use it in places where you can still see the Milky Way. If you’re lucky enough to be in such a place, let others know!

Satellites look at the ground, not the sky. By comparing the skyglow to the ground brightness, you will help communities learn what types of lamps light the streets instead of the sky. Hopefully in the future, cities will save energy and money, while having appropriately lit streets, dark bedrooms, and a sky once again full of stars.

Lots more information, including details of preliminary results, is available on the project blog: http://lossofthenight.blogspot.com

You are welcome to get into contact with the light pollution researchers from Verlust der Nacht that built this app, and learn about their other projects (http://www.verlustdernacht.de). The app also provides some basic information on the history, importance, and consequences of artificial light at night.

This project was sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Germany).

More than 5000 plants are waiting to be discovered by the botany expert and plant-lover.
Mark your favorites in the slideshow. Use the filter symbol within the titelbar to filter plants either by favorites or by similar ones. Searching for a specific plant is also possible.

Choose the correct plant name out of four choices. Use hint to get further information on the searched plant. Use 50:50 to reduce from four to two choices or take a joker to skip a question.

Learn more about the plants in Wikipedia.

At the end of your knowledge question and answer session you will be evaluated.

Select number of questions in preferences menu. There you can also set filter on a certain plant class.
By deactivating the expert mode the questions are a bit easier (but still they are challenging!).

A fast internet connection is required so that the pictures can be streamed smoothly onto your device.

The App also allows saving of plant and pest favorites, easy sharing of screen shots, and a shortcut to search Google for more information on each plant. It is hoped that users of this App will have fun learning new plants and mapping their locations but also to come to better appreciate the complex relationships between plants, pests, and the environment that have evolved over millions of years and will search for the least detrimental way to control infestations.

This Lite Version will not allow uploading of images (scroll down to view the Pro Version).

Simply install and tell the app what kind of debris you are looking at using my friendly and attractive user interface. Clean Marine will grab your gps coordinates and take a picture for you. All of this information is packaged and sent to the proper regulatory authority to be added to a database of marine debris. This lets the governing bodies know the quantity and quality of debris in their region so they can better prioritize where funds are going.

If you are not currently connected to the internet when you spot the debris, your data will be saved and sent when your phone is back online. This app also allows you to manually enter information about a piece of marine debris if you have spotted something and gps'ed it when you didn't have your cell on you.

This is currently in the pilot-beta stage: as with all apps, please let me know of any concerns instead of putting negative reviews on the market, it is just as quick and will allow me to address your problems.

I Colli Euganei ospitano una flora notoriamente ricca e interessante, che ha attirato l’attenzione dei botanici sin dagli albori di questa disciplina. Questa è una guida all’identificazione delle specie legnose (alberi, arbusti e liane) presenti nel comprensorio dei Colli Euganei allo stato spontaneo, sia quelle autoctone sia quelle a carattere avventizio, per un totale di 214 entità. La lista delle piante incluse nella guida si basa sulla prima checklist moderna delle piante vascolari dei Colli Euganei (Masin & Tietto 2005) e sulle sue successive integrazioni (Masin & Tietto 2005; Antonucci & al. 2007; Guiggi & al. 2007; Banzato & al. 2011; Masin & Scortegagna 2011). Si ringrazia il Dr. Alex Guiggi per la revisione della parte dedicata al genere Opuntia (v. anche Guiggi 2008, 2010).
La guida, disponibile anche per strumenti mobile, è stata concepita come un aiuto per i visitatori del Parco dei Colli Euganei e soprattutto come strumento didattico per le scuole del territorio euganeo.
Essa è stata creata in collaborazione con il Dipartimento di Scienze della Vita dell’Università di Trieste e il Dipartimento di Biologia dell’Università di Padova nell’ambito del progetto SiiT (Strumenti interattivi per l’identificazione della biodiversità: un progetto educativo in un’area transfrontaliera), finanziato nell’ambito del Programma per la Cooperazione Transfrontaliera Italia-Slovenia 2007-2013, dal Fondo Europeo di Sviluppo Regionale e dai fondi nazionali.
