Botanical Time Capsules – Documenting biodiversity through time
- - (AEST)
-
Mueller Hall, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne
100 Birdwood Avenue, Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia
Join Alison Vaughan, Manager of Collections, for a rare chance to deep dive into the history of the 1.5 million preserved specimens housed in the National Herbarium of Victoria.
Documenting the presence of a plant, algae or fungus at a particular place and time, each specimen is a botanical time capsule that helps us understand past and present biodiversity. They allow us to track how plants, algae and fungi respond to environmental changes, helping inform the conservation work that supports species' survival.
