Abstract
The longstanding phytosociological tradition in the Iberian Peninsula has produced a large number of releves, resulting in the development of some regional databases, before developing the national-scale project SIVIM. The Iberian and Macaronesian Vegetation Information System [SIVIM] compiles all vegetation-plot data for the Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic and Macaronesian archipelagos. Created in 2007, SIVIM offers its users free access to these large datasets and it also provides a set of advanced analytical tools, useful for scientific research, land and biodiversity management. According to the Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases (GIVD), SIVIM is the 5th-largest database in number of releves worldwide. Its data is shared in centralised databases that integrate releves from various European and worldwide vegetation-plot databases, allowing data to be used in large scale studies. Due to financial restrictions the future and continued development of the SIVIM database is uncertain.
