Researchers studying ancient plants often juggle genetic data, historical records, and fieldwork notes. A platform could centralize these efforts, offering DNA analysis tools, historical mapping, and collaborative features. Universities or research grants could fund subscriptions. Start with a simple database for plant DNA and historical cross-references. The biggest risk is low adoption due to niche appeal.
