Utilization of Herbaria in Ecological Studies: Biodiversity and Landscape Monitoring

Herbaria collections—systematic repositories where plant specimens are preserved—are transitioning from traditional taxonomic tools into fundamental resources in ecological research. This comprehensive review summarizes multidisciplinary applications of herbaria collections in monitoring biodiversity and conservation. The review evaluates the historical and contemporary importance of herbaria specimens in documenting changes in species distribution, population dynamics, and community composition, elucidating their roles in understanding the effects of climate change and human intervention. Moreover, it examines how herbaria collections contribute to large-scale temporal and spatial biodiversity analyses, predictive modeling, and conservation planning in the context of advancements in digitization and molecular techniques. This review underscores the integration of herbaria data into mainstream ecological research and policy decisions, advocating for modernizing herbarium techniques and the innovative use of collections. It aims to foster a deeper understanding of complex environmental systems and inform targeted conservation strategies by revealing the multifaceted uses and expectations of herbaria in ecological studies. Thus, it contributes to the broader scientific discussion on sustainable biodiversity management and highlights the relationship between herbaria and ecological studies.

Herbaryumun Ekolojik Çalışmalarda Kullanımı: Biyoçeşitlilik ve Alan İzleme

Abuzer Çelekli, Özgür Eren Zariç

Herbaryumların koleksiyonları, bitki örneklerinin korunduğu sistematik depolar, geleneksel taksonomik araçlardan ekolojik araştırma alanında temel kaynaklara dönüşmektedir. Bu kapsamlı inceleme, herbaryumların biyoçeşitlilik izleme ve koruma konularında çok disiplinli uygulamalarını bir araya getirmektedir. Türlerin dağılımı, popülasyon dinamikleri ve topluluk bileşimindeki değişiklikleri belgeleme konusunda herbaryum örneklerinin tarihsel ve güncel önemini kritik bir şekilde değerlendirmektedir, özellikle iklim değişikliği ve insan müdahalesinin etkilerini anlamada rollerini açıklamaktadır. Dijitalleştirme ve moleküler tekniklerdeki son gelişmeler sonucunda, herbaryumların koleksiyonları büyük ölçekli zamansal ve mekansal biyoçeşitlilik analizlerine, öngörü modellerine ve koruma planlamasına nasıl katkı sağladığı incelenmektedir. Bu inceleme, herbaryumlara ait verilerin ana akım ekolojik araştırma ve politika kararlarına zorunlu entegrasyonunu vurgular, herbaryum tekniklerinin modernleştirilmesi ve mevcut koleksiyonların yenilikçi kullanımını belirtmektedir. Kompleks çevresel sistemlerin daha derin bir anlayışını teşvik etmeyi amaçlar ve herbaryumların ekolojik çalışmalardaki çok yönlü kullanım ve beklentilerini ortaya koyarak hedeflenen koruma stratejilerine katkı sağlar. Böylece, sürdürülebilir biyoçeşitlilik yönetimi üzerine geniş bilimsel tartışmaya katkı sağlayıp herbaryumlar ile ekolojik çalışmalar arasındaki ilişkiyi vurgular.

Keywords: Biyoçeşitlilik, Ekoloji, Herbaryum, İzleme, Koruma Planlaması
