Herbarium of Division of Marine Biology and Ecology University of Gdańsk (DMBE)

Description

Herbarium of Division of Marine Biology and Ecology University of Gdańsk (DMBE) is a research herbarium encompassing specimens of vascular plants and algae hosted by the Laboratory of Marine Plant Ecology at University of Gdańsk, Poland. The aim of Herbarium is to preserve marine plant and algae collections mostly from the Gulf of Gdańsk, but the herbarium also holds specimens from other parts of the world.

Our overall goal is to understand plant diversity and to provide practical solutions assisting with its analysis and documentation. Gathered specimens provide direct evidence of biodiversity in time and space, the evidence for plant distributions, conservation and threat, the raw material for field and identification guides, the comparative data for discovering species and writing taxonomic papers and an educational resource for learning.

Our collection of preserved plant specimens, used for scientific study and plant identification and classification, involved two activities—gathering the specimens and recording the information. Specimens in good condition were chosen and collected directly from the environment; snorkeling or scuba-diving method were also implemented. After the collection of each specimen, a unique collection number was assigned. Most specimens in the herbarium are pressed, dried plants. These pressed specimens are mounted on sheets of card and stored in flat folders.

File ‘Herbarium_of_Division_of_Marine_Biology_and_Ecology’ follow the Darwin Core Archive (DwCA) specifications for the field, holding one record per specimen with all core specimen fields (herbarium info, current identification, collector info, dates, location, notes, etc.). Each occurrence record is uniquely identified within the DMBE Herbarium database by a field called id (DwCA).

To conclude, the DMBE herbarium is particularly rich in the genera Chara and individuals under protection, which makes this collection an extensive reference collection of Gulf of Gdańsk macrophytes.
