Abstract

A display module is presented, briofitary, with automatic adjustment to maintain the environmental
conditions allowing the survival of the samples displayed inside a triangular prism design. The briofitary
contained seven species of non vascular plants or bryophytes: Six mosses and one complex
liverwort. Technological support incorporated an Arduino hardware model UNO R3 to automate the
control of temperature and relative humidity. The Museum proposal was completely developed by
the Botany Area, Exhibitions Area and Technology Resources Unit. This interdisciplinary synergy has
open new opportunities for development of elements, ideas and levels of research and experimentation.
In general, should be noted that the briofitario was able to hold live plants inside, so allowing to display
representative species of non-vascular flora that inhabits temperate rain forests and Mediterranean areas
of the country, consequently contributing to the teaching and valuation of this group of plants among
citizens.
