Renovation of the H.D. Thiers Herbarium at San Francisco State University

在Dennis E.Desjardin博士的指导下，旧金山州立大学(SFSU)获得了一笔赠款，用于部分支持H.D.Thiers植物标本馆的翻新。该标本馆成立于1959年，是一个国家档案馆，包含世界级的肉质真菌和地衣收藏，以及重要的地区性维管植物收藏。H.D.蒂尔斯植物标本馆拥有超过138,000份标本，其中包括279个模式标本和数千个来自加利福尼亚州、夏威夷和东南亚濒危栖息地的标本。旧金山州立大学拥有世界上最广泛和最全面的加州肉质真菌、地衣、苔藓和维管植物标本收藏，以及来自夏威夷群岛、印度尼西亚和东南亚大部分地区的最完整的肉质真菌收藏。翻修包括在压实机系统上安装142个新的标本柜，并对反映最近分类和命名变化的所有标本进行加入和重组。新的柜子将保护标本免受潜在的昆虫损害，将允许我们加入积压的近17,000个标本，并将允许未来的增长，以容纳正在进行的NSF资助的研究产生的新标本。一个压实机系统将允许在不需要额外空间的情况下增加38个柜子，并将减少20%的标本馆占地面积，为学生和研究人员提供更多加入设施的空间。H.D.蒂尔斯标本馆是旧金山州立大学研究和教育目标的一个组成部分。在过去的五年里，旧金山州立大学植物与真菌系统学和分子生态学专业的57名研究生使用了他们的论文研究所基于的收藏。标本及其伴随的数据对于系统学家、生物地理学家、生态学家和其他对物种分布、生物群落组成、植物-真菌联合以及植物和真菌生物学的时间和空间方面感兴趣的科学家来说至关重要。它们为土地管理者提供相关的历史数据，用于保护、林业、补救、公园和其他土地利用问题。翻修工程将确保标本保持原始状态，并可有效地供学生、研究人员和公众使用。

A grant has been awarded to San Francisco State University (SFSU) under the direction of Dr. Dennis E. Desjardin for partial support of a renovation of the H.D. Thiers Herbarium. Founded in 1959, the herbarium is a national archive containing a world-class collection of fleshy fungi and lichens, and a significant regional collection of vascular plants. The H.D. Thiers Herbarium is the repository for over 138,000 specimens, including 279 type specimens and thousands of specimens from endangered habitats in California, Hawaii and Southeast Asia. SFSU holdings represent one of the world's most extensive and comprehensive collections of California specimens of fleshy fungi, lichens, bryophytes and vascular plants, and the most complete collection of fleshy fungi from the Hawaiian Archipelago, Indonesia and much of Southeast Asia. The renovation incorporates 142 new herbarium cabinets installed on a compactor system, and provides for the accessioning and reorganization of all specimens reflecting recent changes in taxonomy and nomenclature. New cabinets will preserve the specimens from potential insect damage, will allow us to accession a backlog of nearly 17,000 specimens, and will allow for future growth to hold the incoming specimens resulting from ongoing NSF-funded research. A compactor system will allow for an increase of 38 cabinets from our current number without requiring additional space, and will reduce the footprint of the herbarium by 20% providing more room for students and researchers to join the facility. The H.D. Thiers Herbarium is an integral component of the research and education goals of SFSU. In the past five years, 57 SFSU graduate students in plant and fungal systematics and molecular ecology have used the collections upon which their thesis research was based. Specimens and their accompanying data are vitally important to systematists, biogeographers, ecologists and other scientists interested in species distributions, biotic community composition, plant-fungal associations, and temporal and spatial aspects of plant and fungal biology. They provide pertinent historical data to land managers for conservation, forestry, remediation, public parks and other land use concerns. The renovation will assure that the specimens will remain in pristine condition and efficiently accessible for use by students, researchers and the general public.
