The herbariums PAMP (University of Navarra) and UPNA(Public University of Navarra) have organized the XXIX Joint Herborization Campaign of the Ibero-Macaronesian Herbarium association (AHIM), which took place from June 9 to 12, in different locations in Navarra.
"The goal of this meeting is to improve the representation of the plant biodiversity of the participating herbaria, for programs of study, analysis or research by the researchers of these herbaria or even others," says Ricardo Ibáñez, curator of the PAMP herbarium of the University of Navarra.
The field conference were attended by 53 botanists representing 23 herbaria from Spain and Portugal, mainly from universities and research centers.
For four days, from June 9 to 12, based in Pamplona, they traveled through various locations in Navarre, such as Larra, in the upper Roncal Valley, the Pamplona basin and the Bardenas Reales, in the extreme south of Navarre.
In these conference , material from the Navarre territory has been collected for incorporation into the participating herbaria, as well as material for specific programs of study some of the scientists who have attended this quotation.
The list of herborized flora species and their localities will be published in the AHIMbulletin and through the participating herbaria in the database of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the main worldwide initiative that allows free and open access to more than 3 billion biodiversity data records.
The Ibero-Macaronesian Herbariumassociation (AHIM) brings together more than 60 institutional or individual members who maintain scientific collections of pressed, dried and labeled plant species, which serve primarily as samples for study, but also as evidence of the presence of a species in a specific place and at a specific date.
