Next generation floristics: a workflow to integrate novel methods in traditional floristic research

Abstract

Floristic inventories are crucial for research in botany, but they are still conducted following a purposive approach. To overcome this limitation and move towards a next generation floristics, we propose a workflow, which integrates novel methods and tools in (a) Species-Area Relationship, (b) floristic cartography, and (c) sampling algorithms.

Keywords:

• Algorithms
• flora
• floristic richness prediction
• GIS
• sampling optimisation
• spatial and temporal uncertainties
• Species-Area Relationship
