From a photo to a research-grade record
How Pl@ntNet observations reach GBIF
Every day, hundreds of thousands of people photograph plants with Pl@ntNet. Only the most reliable observations are shared with GBIF: those validated by the community and those the identification model recognises with a very high confidence score. Each record carries its photos, a date, a location and a name aligned with the GBIF backbone taxonomy.
The data are published under a CC BY 4.0 licence and are refreshed regularly, so anyone can reuse them, from a school project to a paper in Nature Communications.
