How healthy is the environment of our cities? Plants reflect urban climate and soil conditions with remarkable precision. Using more than 80 million observations from plant identification apps, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry have produced a detailed picture of fine-scale climate and soil conditions for 326 European cities. The result: built-up areas […]
Last season proved: PollenNet thrives on its community. Thanks to tens of thousands of observations from across Germany, we were able to record the hazel flowering in detail. The data not only covers large parts of the country, but also spans many weeks – a valuable basis for our research. What we have achieved Our […]
About the study A scientific study was recently published which tested five plant identification apps in the UK with regard to their identification accuracy. Flora Incognita was not included, but the images taken and analysed for the study were part of the publication. This gave us the opportunity to test our app with this independent […]
Leaf shape and AI The automatic identification of plant species using artificial intelligence (AI) is largely based on the analysis of leaf shapes. However, how these complex structures are interpreted by the AI is often difficult to understand and represents a so-called ‘black box’. In particular, the high variability of leaf shapes within a species, […]
In the summertime, you can find clover in meadows, along paths, or in fields. It comes in red, yellow, or white varieties. However, the diversity of clover species is much greater than many people realize. In this story, we want to introduce you to six different representatives of the plant genus Trifolium, which are widespread […]
The plant community of the year Wet meadows on nutrient-rich soils used to be home to species-rich and colorful marsh marigold meadows. However, today, these large areas of wet grassland are being drained or turned into intensive grassland and fields. The Calthion communities support numerous endangered animal and plant species and provide a habitat for […]
By leveraging millions of time-stamped observations, researchers can identify plant rhythms and ecological patterns year-round Leipzig. A research team led by the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) and Leipzig University has developed an algorithm that analyses observational data from the Flora Incognita app. The novel approach described in Methods in Ecology and […]
What is a species? How have species been defined in the past, and how will they be described in the future? How many species are there on Earth? How many are undiscovered? Can we describe them faster than they become extinct due to climate change or human impact? From the time of Greek philosophers like […]
Biodiversity – The Series The three main aspects of biodiversity are species diversity, the genetic diversity of a species and the diversity of habitats in a region. We cover all those aspects in dedicated articles. In this one, we take a closer look at how important it is to have multiple habitats in a given […]
