Description

The Central Siberian Botanical Garden of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CSBG SB RAS) is the largest botanical institution in the Asian part of Russia. Founded in 1946 CSBG SB RAS, is historically a consortium of two herbarium collections with their own acronyms (NS and NSK) and registration in the Index Herbariorum. At present the NS+NSK collections comprising about 800 000 herbarium specimens of vascular plants, mosses, lichens and fungi gathered in Siberia, the European part of Russia, the rest of Europe, Russian Far East, the rest of Asia and America (Kovtonyuk, Han, Gatilova, 2018). This is the third largest collection in Russia after the LE and MW collections.

The first herbarium collection at the CSBG SB RAS was organized in 1944 on the basis of herbarium sheets transferred from the Medical and Biological Institute (Novosibirsk). In 1978 Herbarium collection named after M.G. Popov was transferred from Irkutsk to CSBG SB RAS. The consortium of two herbarium collections NS+NSK keeps about 680,000 specimens of vascular plants.

At the end of 2017 the USU-Herbarium research group was organized in CSBG SB RAS for herbarium management and herbarium digitization. Our purpose is to provide open online access to the CSBG SB RAS Digital herbarium collections as a data worldwide resource for the study of biodiversity.

The dataset from the European part of Russia consists of 5384 records of digitized herbarium specimens of vascular plants collected from 19th century to present. For each specimen, the species name, locality, collection date, collector, ecology and revision label are recorded. More than 94% of the records have coordinates that fall within area of European Russia west of Ural Mountains.

Purpose

Our purpose is to provide open online access to the CSBG SB RAS Digital herbarium (http://herb.csbg.nsc.ru:8081) as a data worldwide resource for studying biodiversity.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Plant samples from European part of Russia kept at NS+NSK collections were gathered by staff of the CSBG SB RAS from different regions of Russia in field trip or received during herbarium exchange. The oldest herbarium specimen was collected in 1831 by G.S. Karelin. Very often herbarium sheets from "Florae Ingricae" (near 1860 year) do not contain the exact date and place of collection.

Sampling

Dried and pressed herbarium specimens were digitized using two special scanners, ObjectScan 1600, according to the international standards, at 600 dpi, with a barcode, 24-color scale and spatial scale bar (Kovtonyuk, 2015; Kovtonyuk, Han, Gatilova, 2018). Images (*.jpg files) and metadata are stored in the CSBG SB RAS Digital Herbarium generated by ScanWizard Botany and MiVapp Botany software (Microtek, Taiwan).

Quality Control

Specialists from the Komarov Botanical Institute (Saint Petersburg), Main botanical Garden (Moskow), Lomonosov Moskow State University and the CSBG SB RAS took part in the identification of herbarium specimens. Quality control is carried out by staff of the USU-Herbarium group during the verification of the digitized samples. Label metadata information placed into Calc table (Open Office) and then transferred to *.csv and Darwin Core format.

Method steps

  1. The digitization process includes the following 6 steps (Kovtonyuk, Han, Gatilova, 2018): 1. Mounting of dry plant material onto a herbarium sheet; 2. Checking the identification and nomenclature by a specialist; 3. Barcoding the specimen: printing a barcode on the thermal printer and affixing it to the herbarium sheet; 4. Placing the herbarium sheet, 24-color scale and scale bar on the scanner platform and image capturing; 5. Generating metadata, labeling OCR by ScanWizard Botany and verification of the label text by experts; 6. Archive management by MiVapp-Botany.

Taxonomic Coverages

Specimens of 111 families from 41 orders and 6 classes of vascular plants are presented. There are classes Gnetopsida (1 family), Liliopsida (21 families), Lycopodiopsida (2), Magnoliopsida (73), Pinopsida (3), and Polypodiopsida (11). The largest families in the dataset are Poaceae (655 specimens), Cyperaceae (605), Asteraceae (504), Rosaceae (272), Fabaceae (241), Brassicaceae (224), Caryophyllaceae (207), Amaranthaceae (205), Primulaceae (187), and Lamiaceae (170).
