AF-00-001West African Vegetation DatabaseThe West African Vegetation Database has been designed to securely store phytosociological and dendrometrical relevés from West Africa to provide data for analyses of communities, biogeography, population structure, etc. An integrated access management system allows data owners to give access to selected users or the general public. Data entry is possible online or in a local database version to be synchronized with the online database.free online12000falsetruetrue00010.7809/b-e.00065Schmidt M. 2006.
