The MALPOLON framework, developed in MAMBO, has been used to develop GeoPl@ntNet, a web tool designed to explore biodiversity indicators at large scale.

GeoPl@ntNet is an interactive web application that makes Essential Biodiversity Variables accessible and understandable through dynamic maps and fact sheets. Its main purpose is to allow users to explore high-resolution, AI-generated maps of plant species distribution and biodiversity indicators across Europe. These maps, developed as part of MAMBO’s sister project GUARDEN, provide an intuitive and information-rich interface to better understand plant biodiversity in specific regions. The platform is available to authorised users via a designated URL.

Users can visualise detailed distribution maps of plant species or EUNIS habitats at various scales across Europe, with resolutions as precise as 50×50 meters. They can also explore biodiversity in specific regions by selecting areas of interest such as urban green spaces, protected areas, or riverbanks to view local species and their coverage. GeoPl@ntNet can generate comprehensive reports for selected regions, including information on protected, invasive, and endemic species.

The tool allows users to explore several maps at a European scale (50×50 m resolution), including tree species richness, EUNIS habitats level 1, EUNIS habitats level 2, and species prediction. Once users select a case study or country, they can view various biodiversity data such as species prediction maps, habitat prediction maps, and biodiversity indicators. These maps provide detailed visualisations, including estimated species numbers, species presence probability, occurrence data from GBIF or the European Vegetation Archive for comparison, and habitat presence probability.

Given the extensive lists of species and habitats, GeoPl@ntNet also includes tools to help users quickly locate relevant data. Species can be sorted by coverage, name, family, or genus, while habitats can be organised by coverage, name, level, or code.
