Digitisation at Three UK Herbaria Contributes Towards Food Security and Sustainable Timber Use

Abstract: The digitisation of herbarium collections has shown to provide a growing resource in conservation science. Mobilising the data on portals such as GBIF allows researchers to access key taxonomic, habitat and geographical data that would otherwise be unavailable unless institutions are physically visited. These data are used notably in conservation assessments, distribution studies and publication of new species (Canteiro et al. 2019). The herbarium specimens held in Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Natural … Show more

“…Plant and fungal collections have enabled significant advances in visualizing national, regional, and global plant and fungal diversity, assessing threat levels, prioritizing future collection and research priorities, and supporting the establishment of in situ protected areas (Green, Weech, Drinkwater, & Wajer, 2019; Griffiths et al., 2015; Liu, Breman, Cossu, & Kennedy, 2018; Marshall, Wieringa, & Hawthorne, 2016; Meyer, Kreft, Guralnick, & Jetz, 2015; Meyer, Weigelt, & Kreft, 2016; Sosef et al., 2017).…”

“…Some of these beans, especially cow pea and pigeon pea, are sustainable and resilient crops, as they can be grown in poor-quality soils and are drought stress resistant ( Varshney et al 2009 ). This makes them particularly suitable for agricultural production where the growing of other crops would be difficult, if not impossible ( Green et al 2019 ).…”

“…The timber from many species of Dalbergia and Pterocarpus is considered high-quality wood for construction, furniture, musical instruments and other decorative uses ( Huang and Sun 2013 ). However, they are at risk of extinction due to illegal trade and habitat destruction ( Cerutti et al 2018 , Green et al 2019 ). Brazilian rosewood ( Dalbergia nigra (Vell.)…”
