Welcome to PPODB,
this Plant-Phenological Online Database offers access to plant-phenological observations in
Central Europe mainly Germany, from about 9000 stations, covering 130 years (1880-2009), comprising over 16 millions observations.
The PPODB offers a unique data source, where, for the first time, plant-phenological observations from 129 years are brought together in one consistent database. Moreover, sophisticated outlier detection methods and quality checks are applied. There are two ways to access the data:
1) In the SQL-interface we provide a full-fledged access to the complete database, allowing for highly flexible data retrieval via SQL-queries.
2) Below, we provide a visualization and access to phenological time series via a geo-referenced interface, using google-maps. Here you can visualize and retrieve phenological time series for a single station or a Natural Region, depending on the chosen perspective. In order to access phenological time series, please select a combination of plant type and perspective from the table below by clicking on the corresponding image:
