FlorNatur project „Ex situ conservation of wild endangered and
protected plants in Poland „
Aim:
Complex, long-term ex-situ plant
conservation through seed banking and
living plants collections
Methods:
• monitoring of natural localities and their
documentation (photographic,
phytosociological, climatic and soil )
Saxifraga hirculus
• seed collecting (according to ENSCONET
manual)
• viability and freezing tolerance tests
• long-term storage in LN2
Project co-financed by European
Regional Development Fund
