项目摘要

The use of databases in herbarium management has become a vital tool in the organization and analysis of large collections. First the proposal focuses on completing a database for the ASU lichen herbarium comprising c. 105,000 records, of which approximately half are currently databased. A large fraction of these ASU collections (c. 30,000) are relevant to the greater Sonoran Desert Lichen Flora Project, which involves over 60 collaborators from 15 countries. Most of these collaborators have participated on one or more of the 16 major field expeditions conducted over the past 12 years and have accumulated an additional c. 70,000 collections. A second major objective is to database these records and add them to the 30,000 subset from the first database thereby creating a second database specific to the Sonoran Desert Lichen Flora of c. 100,000 records. In addition to being able to access these two databases through the lichenological community (as is currently available through our homepage http://mgd.nacse.org/Arizona - and its links), the databases will be accessible to a much larger community (LTER and ASU scientists, K-12 educational community, resource managers and conservationists) through an ongoing ASU database project entitled "Networking our Research Legacy" and administered by the ASU Center for Environmental Studies. Once constructed the databases will be maintained as part o the long-term database activities at the ASU LTER site.

在标本管理中，数据库的使用已成为组织中至关重要的工具，并分析了大型收藏品。首先，该提案重点是完成一个包含c的ASU地衣植物标本室的数据库。 105,000个记录，其中大约一半是数据库。这些ASU收藏中的很大一部分（约30,000）与大索诺兰沙漠地衣植物园项目有关，该项目涉及来自15个国家的60多名合作者。这些合作者中的大多数都参加了过去12年进行的16次主要实地考察中的一项或多项，并积累了额外的c。 70,000收藏。第二个主要目的是将这些记录数据库添加到第一个数据库中的30,000个子集中，从而创建了一个特定于c的Sonoran Desert Lichen Flora的第二个数据库。 100,000个记录。除了能够通过lichenological界访问这两个数据库（如目前可以通过我们的主页http://mgd.nacse.org/arizona-及其链接获得），数据库还可以访问一个更大的社区（lter and asu and ASU科学家，K -12教育社区，资源经理和维护范围内的范围内，我们都可以访问'由ASU环境研究中心管理。构建后，数据库将作为ASU lter网站的长期数据库活动的一部分维护。
