Since the 1500s, scientists have documented the plants and fungi that grew around them, organizing the specimens into collections. Known as herbaria, these archives helped give rise to botany as its own scientific endeavor. Herbarium is a fascinating enquiry into this unique field of plant biology, exploring how herbaria emerged and have changed over time, who promoted and contributed to them, and why they remain such an important source of data for their new role: understanding how the world’s flora is changing. Barbara Thiers, director of the William and Lynda Steere Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden, also explains how recent innovations that allow us to see things at both the molecular level and on a global scale can be applied to herbaria specimens, helping us address some of the most critical problems facing the world today.

1500년대 이후, 과학자들은 표본을 수집품으로 구성하면서, 그들 주위에서 자란 식물과 곰팡이를 문서화했습니다. 식물성 식물로 알려진, 이 기록 보관소들은 그 자체의 과학적인 노력으로서 식물학의 탄생을 도왔습니다. 허바리움은 식물 생물학의 이 독특한 분야에 대한 매혹적인 탐구로, 시간이 지남에 따라 허바리아가 어떻게 출현하고 변화했으며, 누가 그것들을 촉진하고 기여했으며, 왜 그것들이 세계의 식물군이 어떻게 변화하고 있는지에 대한 새로운 역할을 위한 데이터의 중요한 원천으로 남아 있는지를 탐구합니다. 뉴욕 식물원의 윌리엄 앤 린다 스티어 허바리움의 이사인 바바라 티어스는 또한 우리가 분자 수준과 세계적인 규모 모두에서 사물을 볼 수 있도록 하는 최근의 혁신이 어떻게 허바리아 표본에 적용될 수 있는지를 설명하며, 오늘날 세계가 직면한 가장 중요한 문제들 중 일부를 해결하는 데 도움을 줍니다.
