Bäume und Sträucher

Read full description

Über 200 Bäume und Sträucher Mitteleuropas werden wissenschaftlich ausführlich beschrieben (redigierte Wikipediatexte) und bebildert, wobei nicht nur die botanischen Eigenschaften, sondern auch die Bedeutung der Pflanzen in der Kultur und im Alltag der Menschen, sei es in der Medizin oder im Brauchtum, zur Sprache kommen. Die App funktioniert auch offline und erlaubt es entweder jeder Pflanze direkt eigene Beobachtungen in Wort, Bild und Video hinzuzufügen oder sich ein eigenes "Baumtagebuch" anzulegen. Die Pflanzen sind nach ihrer botanischen Systematik gegliedert. Die Suche nach einem bestimmten Baum oder Strauch kann über die Pflanzenfamilie oder die gebräuchlichsten deutschen oder lateinischen Namen erfolgen. Zur Bestimmung von Bäumen und Sträuchern stehen verschiedenste botanische Bestimmungsmerkmale zur Verfügung (Visuelle Eigenschaften von Blättern, Blüten, Borken und Wuchsform). Weiterführende Links eröffnen eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit allen Aspekten dieser Kulturpflanzen. Die Texte sind direkt mit den (wenn vorhandenen) Wikipedia-Texten in 11 weiteren Sprachen verlinkt (E, F, I, Sp, Ndl, Ru, Arab, Chi, Jap, Kor, Hin).
