Gabon Vascular Plant Occurrences

Citation

Bissiengou P, Engone Obiang N L, Mboma R, Martial T M N (2023). Gabon Vascular Plant Occurrences. Version 1.5. Herbier National du Gabon. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/apz3nj accessed via GBIF.org on 2024-12-12.

Description

The occurrence Gabon BIDAF2020194USE dataset contains occurrence from Gabon. These occurrences are from the herbarium collections. These collections are numerous, and because of many botanical field visits, this results in piles of unmounted collections in which many species new to science are discovered each year. This demonstrates the need to conserve these collections, which will help facilitate access to specimens and their associated data. The National Herbarium of Gabon, through the BID-AF2020-194-USE project, has enabled data mobilization of these collections. This mobilization concerns the mounting of the specimens and their insertion in the collection cabinets. The occurrences recorded from these collections are the subject of this publication

Sampling Description

Method steps

  1. The occurrences come from collections of many botanical harvests carried out by the team of the Gabon National Herbarium and the partners through several research projects. Samples are then mounted, digitized, inserted and stored in the herbarium cabinets.
