Open-source based geo-platform to support management of wetlands and biodiversity in Quebec

In this paper, we present an open-source geo-platform that supports multi-scale management of wetlands and biodiversity in Quebec. This friendly and dynamic prototype allows integration of multisource data, providing, as well, the possibility of geovisualization and correlation analysis of possible stressors impacting these ecosystems. This system proposes useful and easy-to-use functionalities that can facilitate identification of possible habitats in danger. The prototype proposed is flexible and can be adapted to assist other biodiversity studies as well as the practical needs of responsible groups such as planners, conservationists and landscape managers.
