Computerization of the Humboldt State University Vascular Plant Herbarium

洪堡州立大学维管植物标本室的计算机化。洪堡州立大学维管植物标本馆收集的干燥、裱装的植物标本提供了克拉马斯生物区的最完整和最新的植物区系文献。这个地区，包括加利福尼亚西北部和俄勒冈西南部的角落，是北美西部最丰富的植物区之一，有3500种植物，但文献和探索仍然很少。该项目将雇用本科生在三年的时间内，从约90,000个植物标本馆标本中输入栖息地和地理数据，并将其输入可在线搜索的数据库。然后，标本记录将被纳入由加州植物标本馆协会和太平洋西北植物标本馆协会维护的更大的数据库中，并通过其现有的门户网站向公众开放。在线访问我们的标本数据对监测克拉马斯生物区广大公共土地上的许多珍稀和濒危植物的州和联邦生物学家来说是无价的。标本数据也将有助于那些从事追踪和减少潜在有害外来物种传播的人。由于大多数标本在较大的植物标本馆没有复制，资源管理人员现在可以获得有关该地区地理分布和生境偏好的关键信息。多样的植物群。

Computerization of the Humboldt State University Vascular Plant Herbarium.The collection of dried, mounted plant specimens held in the Humboldt State University Vascular Plant Herbarium provides the most complete and up-to-date documentation of the flora of the Klamath Bioregion. This region, encompassing the corners of northwest California and southwest Oregon, is one of the richest botanical areas in western North America with 3,500 species, and yet remains poorly documented and explored. This project will employ undergraduate students over a three year period to enter habitat and geographical data from the ~ 90,000 herbarium specimens into an on-line searchable database. The specimen records will then be incorporated into larger databases maintained by the Consortium of California Herbaria and the Consortium of Pacific Northwest Herbaria, and made available to the public via their existing web portals.On-line access to our specimen data will be invaluable to the state and federal biologists who monitor the many rare and endangered plants indigenous to the extensive public lands of the Klamath Bioregion. Specimen data will also assist those engaged in tracking and curtailing the spread of potentially harmful exotic species. Because most these specimens are not duplicated at larger herbaria, resource managers will now have access to critical information regarding the geographical distribution and habitat preferences of this region?s diverse flora.
