Project

Completion of the Euro+Med Plantbase

More than 15 years after the start, the Euro+Med PlantBase project (E+M), which aimed at providing a comprehensive, dynamic and permanently updated online checklist of all vascular plants for Europ e and the Mediterranean countries, is now very close to full coverage. E+M is one of the most detailed resources on plant biodiversity in the Euro-Mediterranean area including the Caucasus, bridging the gap between less detailed global checklists on the one hand, and more heterogeneous floras and checklists on a regional or country level on the other hand. Originally, the database merged all the taxonomic and distributional information from the three largest botanical standard data sources for the region, i.e. from the ESFEDS database (derived from Flora Europaea), the published volumes of Med-Checklist, and the Flora of Macaronesia. Data from more than one hundred national and regional floras and checklists, and from several hundred articles and monographs, have been added to that basic dataset. New literature is regularly screened, critically evaluated and integrated by a network of editors, regional and taxonomic advisers and by the team at the E+M secretariat, which has been established at the Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem since 2004. As of 31st May 2016, the E+M website gives free access to more than 95% of the European taxa in 190 families with 2186 genera and a total of 40.783 taxa (30.280 species and 10.503 subspecies, including the genera with very large numbers of apomictic microspecies such as Alchemilla, Hieracium, Pilosella, the Ranunculus auricomus aggregate, Rubus and Taraxacum). It is expected that editing and online publication of the remaining taxa will be complete by the end of 2016. E+M currently provides 43.195 accepted names and an extensive synonymy (a total of 123.540 names) with standardized and checked nomenclatural citations, misapplied names, orthographical variants, 144.191 common names in 40 different languages, 238.461 source-referenced distribution records for 40.100 taxa, and literature-based distribution maps. The highest number of species so far has been recorded for Turkey, followed by Italy, Greece and Spain. Suprageneric classification still follows “The Flowering Plant Families of the World” (Heywood & al. 2007); an update to a more recent classification system is being planned. E+M, together with Fauna Europaea and the European Register of Marine Species (ERMS), is one of the major contributors to the Pan-European Species-directories Infrastructure (PESI), which has been recommended as the preferred all-taxa inventory for European species. ...

Project

Botanical and conservational value of secondary and anthropogenically influenced habitats

The main aim of the project to document of conservational importance of graveyards, roadside verges, tree plantations, periodically inundated arable fields. From geographic point of view we are foc using on Europe and Asia Minor. Our model organisms are threatened vascular plant taxa, especially orchids. We study key georgraphic, environmental and social factors affecting botanical diversity of these habitats. ... [more]

Natural history of the genus Elatine (Elatinaceae)

The waterworts (genus Elatine L.) is one of the two genera of the family Elatinaceae belonging to Malpighiales and containing small, herbaceous, amphibious annuals inhabiting muddy surfaces of ephe meral waters mainly in temperate regions on both hemispheres. Since no recent monograph exists for this genus, the total number of species is thought to be between ca 10 to ca 25. Due a high degree of morphological variability (as a consequence of their amphibious life-style), the taxonomy of the genus remains controversial, as well as distribution and ecology of taxa are largely unexplored. Main aims of the project are filling these gaps in our knowledge. ... [more]

Project

Herbaria as tools of ecological and environmental researches

On the one hand, parallel with the decline of interest in taxonomic and systematic studies, some scientists and decision makers have questioned over the last 25 years the importance of biological c ollections, considering mostly budget limitations. On the other hand, dried and pressed plant specimens stored in biological collections are being used as never before in wide range of scientific researches. Herbaria contain long-term data for a wide range of taxa and provide unique opportunities to evaluate for example the importance of life-history components in driving species-specific responses to climate change. Our aim is to create databases of Hungarian vascular plant collections, including the main attributes of each herbarium specimen, accompanied by digital photos, which may be useful for floristic research or even “new type herbarium utilization” in the near future. ...

Meddig életképesek a magvak? Növények Csipkerózsika-álma

September 2015

Mi minden történt 1883-ban? Például kitört a Krakatau-vulkán a Szunda-szorosban és ugyanekkor indult első útjára Párizsból az Orient Express. Ebben az esztendőben halt meg Richard Wagner zeneszerző és Édouard Manet festő vagy ekkor születtek olyan, azóta szintén elhunyt nagyságok, mint Jávorka Sándor botanikus, Jaroslav Hašek író, Egry József festőművész, Babits Mihály költő vagy Kós Károly ... [Show full abstract] építész. Emellett Borbás Vince ebben az évben gyűjtötte herbáriuma számára azt a tekert csüdfű-példányt, amelynek magjait 131 év elteltével sikerült kicsíráztatnunk és felnevelnünk a Debreceni Egyetemen. Cikkünk ennek apropóján járja körül a magvak hosszú távú életképességét.
