The database section of the CeDocBiV, directed by Dr. Joan Simon, includes the databases of the BCN herbarium, the virtual herbarium, the plant biodiversity fund of the UB and other plant biodiversity databases generated by the research projects of the center's member researchers.
All the databases can be consulted on this webpage or from the computer terminals at our centre. In the latter case, the staff at the CeDocBiV are available to assist.
Information on the herbarium samples can be consulted: identification, location, collector/s, etc. There is a database for each of the collections that make up the herbarium: algae, ethnobotany, fruits and seeds collection, lichens, bryophytes and cormophyta.
Collection of images of herbarium samples organized by interest groups: nomenclatural types, historical collections, carpotheque, teaching herbarium, myxomycetes, etc.
The results of the research projects of the CeDocBiV members are organized in databases, mostly available online. We highlight the following databases:
- Biodiversity data bank of Catalonia (X. Font)
- Mapping the habitats of natural protected areas and cartography of the vegetation of Catalonia (J. Carreras)
- Chromosome database of some genres of the Ranunculaceae family (Delphiniae tribe): Delphiniae Chromosome Database (M. Bosch; J. Simon, J. López-Pujol i C. Blanché)
- Etnobotànica dels Països Catalans, which gathers popular knowledge about the names of plants and their uses (J. Vallès)
