GBIF

A biodiversity data network for occurrence records and species evidence, useful for distribution context and source trails.

What you'll find here

Specific data we draw from it: occurrence count, country/state evidence, dataset DOI, basis of record.

Good to know

Occurrence confidence. Separate specimen, observation, literature, and geospatial-quality issues before summarizing range.

Media licensing. Treat occurrence images separately because media licenses can differ from occurrence-data licenses.

How to cite this source

Cite GBIF downloads or dataset pages, including DOI/download key when available.

License

Occurrence records and media can carry different terms; check the dataset and multimedia extension license.

Occurrence records are evidence, not garden suitability recommendations. Review geospatial flags before using them.
