We invite you to listen to Dr. Dominik Tomaszewski’s lecture entitled “Herbarium - a witness to biodiversity.”
A herbarium is a properly prepared, stored, and catalogued collection of preserved plants. By aggregating information from herbarium specimens into larger datasets, we gain insights into the distribution of various species. This provides us with a foundation for drawing conclusions about the functioning of nature, our impact on the environment, and the associated risks. Currently, there are approximately 400 million specimens in scientific institutions, and one of the most pressing tasks is to digitise these collections to make them accessible to all those interested.
