Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are specialized software for the storage, sharing, visualization, and analysis of geographically-referenced data. The datasets of a GIS, called layers, are representations of real-world phenomena, such as points representing plant collections. GIS allows for the exploration of spatial relationships through these data layers, which often reveal biogeographical patterns which can only be discovered once spatially-aligned and plotted collaboratively on a map.
<b>About GIS</b>


Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used to store, visualize, manage, and analyze geographically referenced data. By integrating multiple spatial data layers, GIS enables users to explore geographic patterns, relationships, and distributions that may not otherwise be apparent.
