Description
The database contains information about lichen collections personally gathered or received at the disposal of Professor Wiesław Fałtynowicz and Dr. Maria Kossowska, employees of the Department of Botany, Institute of Environmental Biology at the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the University of Wrocław. These collections were donated to be included in the Herbarium of the Museum of Natural History of the University of Wrocław (WRSL-F). The data cover collections originating from 26 countries, including sites located in Europe (96%), as well as in Asia, Africa, both the Americas and Oceania. The material encompasses collections gathered by more than 90 collectors. More than 80% of the collections consist of specimens gathered between 2000 and 2021, the remaining part is represented by materials collected between 1899 and 1999.
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 5,012 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).
