EcoPort Correct and unambiguous taxonomy and nomenclature remain the backbone of phylogenetics, biology, ecology and evolution: a premise that constitutes one of the bedrock assumptions shaping the design and continuing evolution of EcoPort. EcoPort is implementing a set of tools to empower authors, to deal with several parallel classification systems in a manner that reveals and manages differences and synonymy in a transparent manner. Imagine 'Taxonomy' as one half of a zip and 'Ecology' as the other, then what we are doing in EcoPort now could be seen as the little metallic bit that zips both sides together. EcoPort & Taxonomy

EcoPort EcoPort & Taxonomy Plant (and animal and microbial) taxonomy is the underpinning of a lot that FAO does. The following are a few plant topics which depend on accurate identification: Biochemical ecology, Biodiversity, Bioprospecting, Biotechnology, Breeding, Conservation, Ecology, Ethnopharmacology, Habitat restoration, Ecogeographical surveying, Environmental legislation, Food science and technology, Habitat management, Nutrition, Genepools, Horticulture (commercial floriculture), Quarantine, Invasive species, Intellectual Property Rights, Weed control, Landscape ecology and planning, Phytosanitation, Phytopharmacology, Phytotoxicology and Phytochemistry.
