Precious Persistence: The Ecological Legacy of Shetland Botanical Writing for our Modern Understanding and Experience of Rare Plants in the Face of Cl

设得兰群岛植物学写作丰富的科学，环境和文化细节，给人生动的洞察如何植物群是经验丰富的，以及蓬勃发展的当地植物知识转移到更广泛的社区。该项目将重新解释历史植物学著作，寻求从原始植物记录到当前生态研究的可追溯联系，并对更广泛的北方大西洋，北欧和亚北极地区产生影响。通过过去和现在的生活经验，它将探讨我们的现代理解和与设得兰群岛珍稀植物的关系是如何在面对日益增加的栖息地脆弱性和生物多样性的损失，由于气候变化正在形成。

Shetland botanical writing is rich in scientific, environmental and cultural detail, giving vivid insight into how flora is experienced and the flourishing transfer of local plant knowledge into the wider community. This project will reinterpret historical botanical writings seeking a traceable connection from original plant recording to current ecological research with implications for the wider Northern Atlantic, Nordic and sub-Arctic areas. Through lived experience past and present, it will explore how our modern understanding of and relationship with Shetland rare plants is being shaped in the face of increasing habitat fragility and biodiversity loss due to climate change.
