Overview of VegBank

VegBank is a platform where users can store, update, and share plant taxonomy and ecological community data. It allows interpretation and annotation of data, as well as downloading and analyzing plot information. Users can add plots to the database and interact with VegBank through a desktop database tool called VegBranch. The future of VegBank includes adding peer-reviewed communities and new plant concepts.
