The IBC for riparian forests, as an index of riparian forest biodiversity and connectivity, quantifies the capacity of riparian forests to support biodiversity and their connectivity at longitudinal, latitudinal and landscape scales. The method is simple, there is no need to be a naturalist. It is an administrative tool that can be used at any time of the year and over a large part of the national territory. It is intended for managers of aquatic environments and forests to help them take biodiversity into account in riparian forest management plans.
IBC Ripisylves improvements to mobile applications
The tool is now available as an app for tablets and smartphones (Android and Apple). The application is suitable for field use: it integrates mapping and possible overlay with other base maps (standard, satellite, digital headquarters, etc.). GPS makes it easy to define the survey area even offline and point out subtle and distinct elements in the riparian forest. Evaluated sections around you and categorized (by color code) are visible and you will gradually create a database for a more global view of the state of these environments.
