Le site constitue un outil dynamique de détermination des végétaux en ligne, basé sur la manipulation de photos, schémas, glossaire interactif et clés dichotomiques. Le site est accessible à l’adresse: www.biologievegetale.be. La plate-forme, initialement conçue pour faciliter l’apprentissage des étudiants, constitue également un outil pour le gestionnaire de sites ou le naturaliste. Elle permet d’identifier une espèce végétale à l’aide de clés dichotomiques interactives. Connaître les espèces rencontrées s’avère être la base indispensable pour toute tâche d’évaluation de la structure ou de la qualité d’une végétation. La plate-forme comporte (i) des exercices permettant de s’exercer à la détermination des végétaux. Des liens hypertextes expliquent et illustrent les termes de vocabulaire particuliers. (ii) Une flore en ligne comprenant de nombreuses fiches espèces (descriptions et illustrations), dont par exemple l’ensemble des arbres et arbustes indigènes ou plantés. (iii) Une auto-évaluation des connaissances avec exercices et quizz.
