About the UW Bothell Herbarium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 UW Bothell Herbarium provides a critical authoritative record of plants occurring in the campus wetland and the greater North Creek Basin. As the vegetation changes through time in the wetland it will form a reliable record to help us and future researchers understand biological and habitat change in one of our regions\u2019 preeminent floodplain restoration projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is an Herbarium?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A herbarium (plural: herbaria) is a plant facility that functions in three ways: as a museum, a library, and a scientific lab.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plants are collected in the field, and details are recorded such as ecology, form, size, and color. 足彩app哪个是正规的y are then pressed in newspaper, allowed to dry, and finally glued on thick paper. 足彩app哪个是正规的 preserved plants are stored in a cabinet, and organized. At the UW Bothell Herbarium, plants are organized alphabetically first by family, then by genus and species. 足彩app哪个是正规的 whole process takes at least 3 weeks, but the specimens can last hundreds of years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once plants are preserved, the herbarium holds them in their collection indefinitely. Similar to a library, a herbarium can borrow specimens from another facility so a scientist can use it during research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last of all, a herbarium functions as a lab for students and researchers. 足彩app哪个是正规的s can use the specimens to help their plant identification skills and as an extension to classroom learning. Scientists can use the samples when studying taxonomy or even use the tissues from the plant for DNA and protein samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At this time, weekly led plant walks, collections, and CBLR volunteer opportunities are unavailable. If driven students want to find a faculty member to study under, they can gain access to the herbarium to work on their own collections and plant projects. 足彩app哪个是正规的y can do this as a volunteer opportunity, independent project for credit, or independent research for credit. Contact Tyson Kemper for information how to get this started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herbarium Team<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 herbarium is a space where several members of the community (UW and Puget Sound area) volunteer their time to keep this collection of plants up-to-date and available to researchers, faculty, and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
