A vegetation plot archive? Currently there is no standard plot data repository. A repository is needed for: Plot storage and preservation Plot access and identification Plot documentation in literature/databases In addition, data exchange standards are needed to support alternative data archive initiatives.

VegBank The ESA Vegetation Panel is currently developingVegBank ( as a public vegetation plot archivewww.vegbank.org VegBank is expected to function for vegetation plot data in a manner analogous to GenBank. Primary data will be deposited for reference, novel synthesis, and reanalysis, particularly for classification.

Why are we here? Education of the audience: Demonstrate the benefits of using VegBank. Develop a group of knowledgeable users to try out the tools and come out feeling they can be and want to be users. Instill in our user community a sense of common ownership. We need VegBank “beta-testers” and good honest critiques. Demonstrate how these tools can improve the vegetation classification enterprise.

Education of the VegBank team: Determine the problems users encounter in functionality and interface of both VegBank and VegBranch. Learn the training needs in anticipation of future workshops with more naive users? Learn which uses are anticipated and which features are needed. Determine what are the most important inhibiters for getting data into and out of VegBranch and VegBank?

Traditional Community Ecology The questions: How are communities structured? How do taxa interact? The solutions : Simple observations. Simple experiments. The scale: Stand or landscape.

Emerging data sources Site data: climate, soils, topography, etc. Taxon attribute data: identification, phylogeny, distribution, life-history, function attributes, etc. Occurrence data: attributes of individuals (e.g., size, age, growth rate) and taxa (e.g., cover, biomass) that co-occur at a site.

EcoInformatics ? Massive plot data have the potential to create new disciplines and allow critical syntheses. Remote sensing. What is really on the ground? Community ecology. Who occurs together, and where, and following what rules? Monitoring. What changes are really taking place in the vegetation? Restoration. What should be our restoration targets? Vegetation & species modeling. Where should we expect species & communities to occur after environmental changes?
