State of the database. planned: There are concrete plans to establish a database of the given scope, but no vegetation-plots are included so far. This category allows the announcement of projects in order to facilitate research cooperation and avoid double work.
emerging: The database exists in a preliminary version (e.g. reduced
functionality or in a database system deviating from the one planned for the
final database) and contains only few vegetation-plots so far.
ongoing capture: The database is fully functional and data are added
continuously, but only a fraction of the data within the scope is captured so far.
completed and continuing: The database is fully functional and the vast majority of past data within the scope have already been captured; now basically only newly made vegetation-plots are added.
finished: The database is available but there are no longer activities to add further data.
