KRSU Herbarium: collections of vascular plants

Vascular plants of KRSU Herbarium (Siberian Federal University, Krasnoyarsk, Russia). These data were published in the Moscow Digital Herbarium in 2024 and now available in GBIF.The Herbarium of the Siberian Federal University (KRSU) is located in Krasnoyarsk. The herbarium was founded in 1975, which coincides with the formation of the Department of Ecology of Krasnoyarsk State University. The basis of the processed inserted collections are student collections, mainly from summer field practice at the biological station, starting in 1968. After 1975, the collections began to be formalized accordingly, specimens began to arrive from different regions of the former USSR, where students and teachers worked in expeditions. Since 1984, the herbarium has been purposefully replenished with collections of N.V. Stepanov from various regions of Southern Siberia. In 1995, after the formation of the Department of Forest Biogeocenology, the herbarium was transferred to it and moved to a separate facility; staff units appeared. In 2007, the herbarium became an independent division within the Institute of Fundamental Biology and Biotechnology of the Siberian Federal University. The herbarium collections comprise over 30,000 specimens of vascular plants, 15,000–20,000 specimens of bryophytes and lichens; more than 100 type specimens. Currently, the KRSU Herbarium comprise materials reflecting the diversity of plants in the Krasnoyarsk Krai and other regions of Russia and the world. The Electronic Herbarium of the Siberian Federal University KRSU (http://krsu.sfu-kras.ru/) was created in 2013 and has not been updated since. In December 2024, these data were transferred to the Moscow Digital Herbarium (1,268 specimens) and published in GBIF.
