Description

The botanical collection includes vascular plants and bryophytes. It is the largest and the only one professional collection of research material in eastern Poland (abbreviated LBL in the world Index Herbariorum; approx. 200,000 copies). It contains about 60% of the species of higher plants and bryophytes so far shown from all over Poland. The herbarium contains, among others, types of nomenclature of moss species newly described for science and a rich collection of vascular plants from foreign scientific expeditions (Spitsbergen, Mongolia).

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 53,647 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data

The dataset resulted from the digitization project IMBIO, supported by the Operational Programme Digital Poland in 2020-2023. The IMBIO project is the most extensive Polish enterprise of natural data digitization, with respect to its range, complexity and volume of the processed content. There is 18 participant institutions with the University of Warsaw as a leader. The project delivered 9.5 million of occurrence records, c.a. 2 million of which are based on specimens deposited in collections, and the remaining data derived from other types of scientific sources: card files, legacy materials and bibliography, publicly unavailable older databases. Integration of these resources has made them accessible and searchable. The access platform is the new version of the Biodiversity Map portal (BioMap, https://portal.biomap.pl), while externally the resources are published via the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
