The main goal of this TCN is to provide data to support the study of the consequences of climate change and land use history in the New England region over the last three centuries

Climate Change
Plant phenological observations play an important role in the eff ort to understand the eff ects of rising temperatures
Our project will cater to climate-change studies by capturing phenology (flowering and leafing-out stage) data
We will develop controlled vocabularies for flowering stage and leafing-out stage

Land-use history
Herbarium specimens, representing thousands of species with diverse ecological ranges and tolerances can add critical insights into the long-term consequences of past land-use
We will capture habitat data for a subset of taxa targeted for their particular importance to land-use studies, and we will develop a controlled vocabulary for habitat

In herbaria, sheets are often organized into folders by genus or species, with a single identifi cation applying to all specimens in that folder. Often organized by geography, as well
Capture data that refl ects the physical storage structure of the collection before imaging and data basing individual specimens
Associate this pre-captured data with specimen records at a later stage

Capture an image, a barcode number, a subset of label data & associate pre-capture data with specimen occurrence records
WORKFLOW: PRIMARY DIGITIZATION

To increase the effi ciency of capturing an image and specimen-level data, we will develop and test an high throughput digitization apparatus

WORKFLOW: SECONDARY DIGITIZATION
The secondary digitization stage will involve humans capturing (via keystroking) habitat and phenology data from images of specimens and labels.
