SGI is acting as the regional herbarium for the SOS-Southeast teams, which means that SGI receives and stores a specimen for each collection made in each of our target 10 states. The APSU Herbarium, which goes by the acronym APSC, is the largest herbarium
in the Mid-South U.S. with over 140,000 specimens. All specimens have been imaged, digitized, and are available for search on the SERNEC Portal. The Coordinator will take care of preparing all the specimens and ship them to the regional and national (The Smithsonian
Institution) curators. Occasionally, the Coordinator will help with managing other herbarium collections at APSU.<br>

about seed germination ecology of target species and developing protocols for optimal storage, viability testing, and germination for target taxa. The Coordinator will conduct seed viability and germination tests to assist with development of propagation protocols
for those species and ecotypes that are understudied but desirable in restoration in the Southeast region and that will be valuable to US Fish and Wildlife Service restoration projects. The Coordinator will also take care of sharing the results on open access
database (e.g., the Seed Information Database).<br>
