Utilizing herbarium specimens to assist with the listing of rare plants

Brenda Molano-Flores,
Sara A. Johnson,
Paul B. Marcum
et al.

Abstract: Funding for rare plant conservation is limited. In addition, many aspects of the biology and ecology of rare plants are unknown. Therefore, low-cost data generation approaches to fill these gaps should be pursued. Herbarium specimens can be used as a low-cost alternative to learn about the basic biology and ecology of rare plant species. The information provided on herbarium labels has dramatically increased in recent decades to include precise locality (i.e., latitude/longitude), exact dates, habitat, associa… Show more

“…Indeed, herbarium collections are frequently focused on a regional or even local scale with few species sampled at different time periods, making them very useful for understanding which plant species disappeared and modified their distribution and/or abundance as a consequence, for instance, of climate changes [58]. For instance, herbarium specimens may be part of the toolkit of plant conservationists, enhancing our understanding of historical, current, and future trends related to rare plants [59].…”
