Biodiversity informatics is an important part of biodiversity research.Information platform is of importance in biodiversity conservation and ecological education.Currently,researchers have carried out many investigations of biodiversity on a large scale in Beijing,but it is still lack of a systematic and comprehensive information platform.For biodiversity conservation and ecological education,we systematically analyzed and catalogued all the data from 2007-2009 based on the higher plants germplasm resources investigation and previous researches.Then we established the germplasm information query platform based on the database of species diversity inventory under the support of computer network technology.The share of higher plants germplasm resources information has been implemented by the platform,and users can accurately check detailed words and pictures information of 2586 species and varieties belonging to 149 families and 681 genera.The information includes classification of plant species,ecological characteristics, geographical distribution,conservation status,utilization,human disturbance and so on.The establishment of the platform can provide an important information support not only for protection and planning of plant resources,prevention and management of alien species,and resource utilization,but also for researches and ecological education in Beijing.
