Flore vasculaire
What this layer shows
Vascular plant observations shared under a CC0 or CC BY 4.0 licence, the densest layer in France and the best located, with most points accurate to one hundred metres or better. This is not vegetation mapping: on a dense view the app shows only three hundred records out of tens of thousands, and empty ground means that nobody has looked or that the observation is not shared under a reusable licence. Records under a non-commercial licence are excluded, and this layer does not delineate a wetland or a habitat in the regulatory sense. Where the publisher locates a record no better than a kilometre, it is drawn as a circle of that stated radius instead of a dot.
Not in the app's radius search: Observation records, not designations: an absence here is not evidence
