Biosphere3D targets interactive landscape rendering based on a virtual globe. It supports DEM, satellite and aerial images, 3D models (Collada), 3D plant models, and Shapefiles. Biosphere3D was initially developed by the landscape visualization group of the Zuse Institute Berlin by Malte Clasen and is now developed further by Lenné3D GmbH. For more information about the used concepts have a look at the thesis of Malte Clasen: Towards Interactive Landscape Visualization Doctoral Thesis published 2011 via Technische Universität Berlin https://doi.org/10.14279/depositonce-3005

The Forestry Commission and Natural England commissioned a bespoke data collection and presentation tool for calculating the potential for increasing the extent of tree cover across the north west of England. The data was divided into sub-regions by landscape type using Natural England's Character Area classifications. The potential within each of these Character Areas was then estimated by working groups of local experts who were capable of making reasoned assessments of both the opportunities and constraints to woodland creation. Subsequently, this project was considerably extended and adopted as a national system. ...

Conefor Sensinode quantifies the importance of habitat areas for the maintenance or improvement of landscape connectivity. It is conceived as a tool for decision-making support in landscape planning and conservation. Further details: www.conefor.org

This software uses data gathered from published biodiversity inventories, together with physical and vegetational maps, to build a biodiversity map (darkening geographical landscape according with the richness/diversity of species).
