Bryophyte Checklist of SYKO Herbarium

Data Records

The data in this checklist resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 599 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage

Most of the dataset records originated from samples collected on the territory of European North-East Russia. Only one occurrence was located far from this region on the Kamchatka Peninsula (55.72222ºN, 160.3714ºE).

Taxonomic Coverage

The dataset consists of 480 moss taxa with rank of species, subspecies, varieties and 325 occurrences of 59 liverworts taxa of the same ranks. The moss species names used were determined according to the ‘Check-list of mosses of East Europe and North Asia’ (Ignatov et al. 2006), and ‘An annotated checklist of bryophytes of Europe, Macaronesia and Cyprus’ (Hodgetts et al. 2020).

Project Data

The herbarium labels for this dataset were mobilized with support from The Global Biodiversity Information Facility Secretariat (GBIFS). Project ID: Russia2019_04. Project web-page: https://www.gbif.org/project/5ZsAifyI6z0OguyoNTFIIu/mobilizing-moss-occurrences-from-the-komi-science-centre-herbarium. Duration: 01.02.2019-30.09.2019. The aim of the project to digitize at least 8,000 labels from the SYKO herbarium moss collection. As a result of the project 14,000 labels were digitized and the final version (1.5) of published in GBIF dataset contained 14,871 moss occurrences. The project team consisted of 5 people.

Sampling Methods

Bryophyte herbarium samples were collected during two main types of field work: floristic explorations and vegetation studies. Field samples are separated into storage specimens during the species identification in a way that in each specimen was a minimum number of bryophyte species. Two label copies are generated for each sample. One copy of the label was fixed on a bag with a dried moss sample, the second was stored in a separate storage for labels (library card catalog cabinet is used). The labels and the moss specimens themselves were arranged in alphabetical order of species names. Each moss sample was assigned a catalog number. The catalog numbers were incrementing since the organization of the bryophyte subdivision in the SYKO herbarium. Information about the label catalog number, date of collection, name of the collection place, species name, field number, and habitat were entered in the register books. The labels from label storage were used for digitization. The label images were obtained with digital camera. Images were uploaded to server and their filenames to the label database. The database web interface written specifically for this project was used for manual label data recognition and interpretation. The following minimum set of data were deciphered (in DarwinCore terms): scientificName, recordedBy, identifiedBy, day, month, year, catalogNumber, decimalLatitude, decimalLongitude. The digitization of most moss collection labels showed that names of 139 collectors were on the labels and 38 botanists were engaged in species identification. The most productive collector and botanist most engaged in species identification was one person — G. V. Zheleznova.
