Biodiversity Tracking Tool - Looking to cooperate on these calls: HORIZON-CL6-2025-01-BIODIV-02 / HORIZON-CL6-2025-01-BIODIV-09 / HORIZON-CL6-2025-01-BIODIV-04

Floradex (name of the Biodiversity Tracking Tool) is a dynamic software statistical package that analyses insect and plant data observations from a surveyed location and suggests, in ranked order, the next best trees, shrubs, and flowers you could plant to improve biodiversity. Floradex conducts a presence and absence calculation of data, not abundance, so it will not count species multiple times. It performs a gap analysis based on these two data.gov UK databases. (pending more data bases on soil/invasive/protected species - and could be maninpulated to European data sets)

• Plant-pollinator interactions database for construction of potential networks (all known pollinator-plant interactions on mainland GB)

• Insect species richness for each plant species and insect-plant interactions from the Database of Insects and their Food Plants [DBIF] (over 60,000 insect-plant interactions with native plants)

Our method for data collected ensures it is time-stamped, dated, and geo-located, and can be pulled off as a CSV list to input into Floradex. We have collected data with citizen scientists through the method called a 'Bioblitz'.

The prescription can been broken down into Flowers, Trees and Shrubs, showing the top ranked plant species to improve biodiversity in this report. The landowner/organisation to take this quantitative data and employ it qualitatively on the surveyed location they wish to improve.
