Research

Mounted specimen Herbarium

Our science teams are at the forefront of vital research, making this institution the State's key knowledge hub for plant science.

We collaborate and share knowledge on South Australian flora, safeguarding our collections and making collections-based data freely and widely accessible.

We are undertaking future-aware biodiversity projects to understand the evolutionary adaptations and likely future state of South Australian flora, and building resources documenting the variability of species traits including morphology, genetic diversity, threats to human health and production systems, species responses to fire, disturbance and drought.
