Description

Not provided

The interdepartmental educational and scientific laboratory “Herbarium-SV” was established in 2007. The “Herbarium-SV” laboratory is engaged in the study of floristic diversity within the Volga-Ural region, as well as the monitoring of endemic and rare species listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation and at the regional level. Furthermore, it develops the basis for the establishing of specially protected natural areas and monitors and improves the existing network.

In 2003, the herbarium was registered in the Index Herbariorum under the acronym SMR. The herbarium currently houses four collections: vascular plants (comprising over 50,000 specimens), lichens (numbering over 10,000 specimens), bryophytes (about 800 specimens) and non-lichenized fungi (50 specimens). Since 2021, the Herbarium of Samara University has incorporated the collection of the Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, comprising over 6,000 herbarium sheets. The overwhelming majority of vascular plants exhibited in the Herbarium of Samara University were collected in the Samara and Orenburg regions. However, there are also specimens from other regions of Russia, including Moscow, Leningrad, Nizhny Novgorod, Voronezh, Penza, Saratov, Volgograd, Ulyanovsk, Astrakhan, Irkutsk and Amur regions, Tatarstan, Bashkiria, Buryatia, the Caucasus, as well as from adjacent countries (Ukraine and Kazakhstan) and Armenia. Additionally, the collection encompasses specimens from a foreign country, namely Norway. The geographical scope of the lichen collections covers the Murmansk, Leningrad, Moscow, Volgograd, Samara, Orenburg and Sakhalin regions, as well as Karelia, Mari El, Chuvashia and Karachay-Cherkessia. Additionally, some specimens are sourced from Lithuania and Belarus. The majority of bryophytes originate from the Samara and Orenburg regions, but there are specimens from the Leningrad, Tver, Nizhny Novgorod, Ulyanovsk and Sverdlovsk regions, Karelia, the Caucasus and Primorsky Krai. In 2023, the Digital Herbarium of Samara University became available on the web https://herbarium.ssau.ru/) with the objective of facilitating broader public access to the herbarium collections. The digitisation process is conducted using a Microtek ObjectScan 1600 scanner, in accordance with internationally recognized standards, as TIFF-files at 600 dpi with an additional standard color checker. The digital herbarium enables users to search for taxa by Latin and Russian name, barcode and region of collection.
