ABSTRACTDEB 0079058KellerCentral Missouri State UniversityThe objectives of this research project are to initiate the first survey and inventory of tree canopy biodiversity for myxomycetes, macrofungi, mosses, liverworts, and lichens in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The research team will include a multidisciplinary research team including experts in non-vascular plants from the US and Sweden, graduate and undergraduate students, and volunteers. The research is focused on searching for undescribed taxa, comparisons of tree canopy dwelling cryptogams, and collection and curation of little-known assemblages of treetop biodiversity. The research will help document the tree canopy biodiversity in tree species rapidly declining due to insect and fungal pathogens, and atmospheric pollution.

密苏里州中央州立大学凯勒本研究项目的目标是在大烟山国家公园启动第一次调查和树木冠层生物多样性的粘菌，大型真菌，苔藓，苔类，地衣。 该研究团队将包括一个多学科研究团队，包括来自美国和瑞典的非维管植物专家，研究生和本科生以及志愿者。 该研究的重点是寻找未描述的类群，树冠栖息隐花植物的比较，以及收集和管理鲜为人知的树梢生物多样性组合。 这项研究将有助于记录由于昆虫和真菌病原体以及大气污染而导致的树木物种的树冠生物多样性迅速下降。
