    Abstract:
    The Permanent.Plot.ch project aims to create a vegetation databank of both historic and recent permanent plots in Switzerland (relevés or floristic inventories which can be geographically pinpointed). This project will ensure long-term access to floristic inventories of georeferenced surfaces in Switzerland and will provide important information for future Swiss botanical research in relation to a changing environment. If you know of such permanent plots in Switzerland, please contact me.

    Leading questions:
    Store and conserve historical data about permanent plots for vegetation.
    Study of global change impacts on vegetation: past changes and monitoring of present changes
