Moss Flora Colombia

项目摘要

Mosses form a conspicuous element in many tropical ecosystems, yet they remain little known to those residing in tropical countries and little known even to those conducting research on mosses. Dr. Steven Churchill of the New York Botanical Garden has embarked on the first complete moss inventory of a South American country, Colombia, to produce an illustrated and descriptive account of the estimated 900 species of mosses of this rich, mountainous country. The project involves cooperative activities with Colombian institutions; Dr. Churchill will lecture on his moss researches, will help build reference collections for museums, and will work with staff and students to promote better understanding and research possbilities for this group of plants. The first phase will include intensive field collecting in half of the 32 departments of Colombia, to augment existing herbarium collections in the U.S., Colombia, and elsewhere. The area for collection will inlude the western half of Colombia from the coastal Pacific and Atlantic departments which contain both wet and dry tropical vegetation, and extending to central montane regions. Concurrent with this phase will be the preparation of descriptions and illustrations for half of the expected species. Also to be accomplished are preparation of a checklist of scientific names of Colombian mosses and a catalogue of herbarium specimens of Colombian taxa, compiled in a computer database at the New York Botanical Garden.

苔藓在许多热带地区是一个显著的组成部分生态系统，但他们仍然很少知道那些居住在热带国家和鲜为人知的，甚至那些进行对苔藓的研究纽约的史蒂文丘吉尔博士植物园已开始第一次完整的苔藓一个南美国家哥伦比亚的库存，对估计900个物种的说明和描述这个富饶的多山国家的苔藓。项目涉及与哥伦比亚机构的合作活动;博士。丘吉尔将发表他的苔藓研究报告，博物馆的参考收藏，并将与工作人员和学生促进更好的理解和研究对这类植物的可能性。第一阶段将包括密集的实地收集，哥伦比亚32个省的一半，以扩大现有的美国的植物标本馆收藏，哥伦比亚和其他地方。的收集区域将包括哥伦比亚的西半部，太平洋沿岸和大西洋沿岸地区，潮湿和干燥的热带植被，并延伸到中部山地地区与这一阶段同时进行的是编写描述和插图的一半预期的物种。还需要完成的是编制一份清单，哥伦比亚苔藓植物的学名和植物标本目录哥伦比亚分类群的标本，在计算机数据库中编译，纽约植物园。
