The reliable mapping of species richness is a crucial step for the identification of areas of high conservation priority, alongside other value and threat considerations. This is commonly done by overlapping range maps of individual species, which requires dense availability of occurrence data or relies on assumptions about the presence...Machine learning, Neural network, Species richness, Biodiversity, Plant, Australia, Deep learning, and Diversity pattern

Leguminosae is the largest family in the country, including many species which are of local or more regional economic importance. Based on an extensive...Taxonomy, Checklist, Endemic taxa, African flora, Herbaria, Collection effort, and Conservation status
