Field botanists who can identify most of the plant species de visu.
For conducting floristic surveys (species inventories) at high speed.
This app is optimized for greatly speeding up and simplifying field data collection, in the form of species lists with species name, abundance, phenological state and other data.
Species are recorded by tapping its abbreviation (4 letters or less). The abbreviation is looked up in the reference checklist and matching species are displayed for selection. For example, "sarv" will match Stachys arvensis, Sinapis arvensis, among a few others, depending on the reference checklist. Phenological state and uncertainty in identification can be directly specified with one tap.
Further, you can pin some species in a quick mark toolbar, so you can record their occurrence (species, date and coordinates) with a single tap. This is useful when you're conducting a fine scale occurrence map of a few species.
Full offline GPS navigation over aerial imagery is integrated, with tracklog recording, and GIS vector layers can be added (e.g. for displaying the limits of the study area, a grid, etc.).
Data is output as a CSV text table, that can easily be uploaded to any database or edited in a spreadsheet. Tracklog is exported in GeoJson format, compatible with GIS software.
Not for identifying species in the field. This app assumes you already know the species that you are inventorying. This app is for serious field work surveys at high speed.
- Fast inventorying by looking up species short abbreviations
- Fast mark pinned species
- Full GPS navigation over aerial imagery (using osmdroid)
- Automatically stores aerial imagery for offline use
- Records the tracklog
- Imports vector layers from GIS
- Very easy handling of vector layers
