Scientists have been systematically taking environmental specimens from representative ecosystems in the United Kingdom for many years. These samples have been classified and stored appropriately so that the chemical composition of the substances remains unchanged.
Our catalogue enables users to find and access environmental samples and provides details of sample availability, access restrictions, archive location, etc.
The Environmental Specimen Bank provides access to key specimen holdings and enables you to visualise and interrogate the diverse environmental samples held in the UK.
The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) hosts the UK Environmental Specimen Bank. In using this website you as a user are accepting our terms and conditions
