Abstract:

This paper presents the application of mobile geographic information systems (mobile GIS) in the study of successional vegetation in the Schöttelheide area, a degraded heap of the former Prosper-Haniel mine in the Ruhr region. This area, left to natural succession, became the focus of research using Survey123 and Flora Incognita for the automatic identification of plant species. The aim of the study was to make a spatial inventory of the plant communities taking into account the stage of succession, the presence of invasive species and the natural valorisation. The results showed that mobile GIS is an extremely effective and flexible tool for monitoring ecological succession in hard-to-reach and heterogeneous post-mining habitats.
