Description of Software, Information, and Support Services Provided

NatureServe provides information and support services to all network member programs. These services include: maintaining species taxonomy and ecosystem classification; assessment and maintenance of global conservation status ranks; development and maintenance of network standards – including: conservation status ranking, species and habitat climate change vulnerability assessment, element occurrences, species habitat modeling, and range mapping; ecology mapping products such as the National Vegetation Classification / International Vegetation Classification mapping; network leadership and coordination; NatureServe Explorer & Explorer Pro websites and APIs. Biotics software as a service provides member programs with a common platform that supports the consistent application of shared network data standards. Using Biotics also provides the benefit of automating the ongoing data exchange process, which drastically reduces the cost and effort for NatureServe and member programs.
