San Francisco Plant Finder Data

This is the plant list used by the SF Plant Finder (http://sfplantfinder.org).

The San Francisco Plant Finder is a resource for gardeners, designers, ecologists and anyone who is interested in greening neighborhoods, enhancing our urban ecology and surviving the drought. The Plant Finder recommends appropriate habitat-building plants for sidewalks, gardens and roofs that are adapted to San Francisco's unique environment and climate.

The plants in the database include California natives and Mediterranean climate exotics. A large subset of the California natives are actually local San Francisco natives. We strongly recommend local natives since they provide the best habitat for local pollinators and other wildlife with whom they have co-evolved. San Francisco natives are the most closely adapted to the climate and environment of the San Francisco peninsula of course, and so they are the best in terms of water and soil conservation, ecosystem health, and overall sustainability.

本数据集为SF植物搜索器（http://sfplantfinder.org）所使用的植物清单。SF植物搜索器是一份面向园艺师、设计师、生态学家以及任何致力于绿化社区、提升城市生态并适应干旱环境人士的资源。植物搜索器推荐了适合在人行道、花园和屋顶建立适宜栖息地的植物，这些植物均适应于旧金山独特的环境与气候。

数据库中的植物包括加利福尼亚本土植物和地中海气候外来物种。其中一大子集为加利福尼亚本土植物，实际上多为本地旧金山本土植物。我们强烈推荐本地本土植物，因为它们为当地传粉者和与其共同进化的其他野生动物提供了最佳的栖息地。旧金山本土植物自然是与旧金山半岛的气候和环境最为密切适应的，因此在水资源和土壤保护、生态系统健康以及整体可持续性方面表现最佳。
