Description
Founded in 2003, the Herbarium of Tocantins (HTO), located at the Porto Nacional Campus of the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT), is currently the largest herbarium in the state. It houses approximately 12,000 specimens, including plants, algae, fungi, and lichens. The HTO plays a crucial role in scientific research in Brazil, as it holds important specimens from ecotonal areas(Cerrado-Amazon, Cerrado-Pantanal, and Cerrado-Caatinga), endemic ecosystems (Ipucas – Araguaia Floodplain), and forest fragments that have been extinct due to extensive cattle ranching and flooding caused by regional hydroelectric dams.
#--------------------
Fundada em 2003, o Herbário do Tocantins (HTO) pertencente ao Câmpus de Porto Nacional da Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT) é atualmente o maior herbário do estado. Possui aproximadamente 12 mil exemplares, incluindo plantas, algas, fungos e liquens. O HTO tem um papel importante na pesquisa científica no Brasil, pois nele estão depositados espécimes importantes de áreas ecotonais (Cerrado- Amazônia, Cerrado-Pantanal e Cerrado-Caatinga), endêmicas (Ipucas – Planície do Araguaia) e de fragmentos florestais que foram extintos pela pecuária extensiva e pelo alagamento provocado pelas hidrelétricas da região.
