Data and Access<\/h2>\n

BIEN provides several ways to reach plant biodiversity data, depending on whether you want to explore interactively, work in R, or move through a service-specific workflow. The main entry points are the BIEN Data Portal, the BIEN R package, the BIEN Species ShinyApp, the BIEN Traits ShinyApp, and the four workflow services used to clean and integrate records.<\/p>\n
