Abstract The European Vegetation Archive ( EVA ) is a centralized database of vegetation plots developed by the IAVS Working Group Survey. It has been in development since 2012 and first made available for use research projects 2014. stores copies national regional vegetation‐ plot databases on single software platform. Data storage does not affect on‐going independent contributing databases, which remain property data contributors. uses prototype management TURBOVEG 3 joint multiple that different species lists. This facilitated SynBioSys Taxon Database, system taxon names concepts used individual their corresponding unified list flora. also includes procedures handling requests, selections provisions according to approved Property Governance Rules. By 30 June 2015, 61 from all regions have joined , total 1 027 376 plots, 82% them with geographic coordinates, 57 countries. provides unique source large‐scale analyses diversity both fundamental nature conservation applications.
