0123663BerryThis Americas Program award will support Dr. Paul E. Berry of the University of Wisconsin Madison in collaboration with Dr. George J. Shepherd and Dr. Maria de Carmo Amaral, both of the Instituto de Biologia (UNICAMP). The aim of this project is to initiate the revaluation of Martius' great work and explore the feasibility of presenting Flora Brasiliensis in facsimile form on the World Wide Web, including corrections for the now outdated taxonomy. The following steps will be taken: (1) Develop a pilot Web page, (2) Evaluate the cost of digitizing and indexing images only, (3) Contact and recruit active systematists worldwide to update the taxonomy and nomenclature of the published treatments in the Flora, (4) Use the concept of this project as a springboard to help produce new regional and national floristic treatments in Brazil and neighboring areas. The long-term goal is to develop a complete Neotropical checklist of vascular plants and contribute more fully towards floristic treatments within tropical South America. This project will build strong and lasting international ties between key institutions involved in plant diversity efforts as well as strengthen international ties between systematic biologists and discourage isolationist tendencies in individual countries where the greatest biodiversity is found.

0123663BerryThis美洲计划奖将支持博士保罗E。威斯康星州麦迪逊大学的贝瑞与生物学研究所（UNICAMP）的乔治·J·谢泼德博士和玛丽亚·德·卡莫·阿马拉尔博士合作。 该项目的目的是重新评估Martius的伟大工作，并探索在万维网上以传真形式展示植物群Brasiliensis的可行性，包括对现已过时的分类法的修正。 将采取以下步骤：（1）开发一个试验性网页，（2）仅评估数字化和索引图像的成本，（3）联系和招募全球活跃的系统学家，以更新植物群中已发表处理的分类和命名，（4）利用本项目的概念作为跳板，帮助在巴西和邻近地区产生新的区域和国家植物群处理。 长期目标是制定一个完整的新热带维管植物清单，并更充分地促进热带南美洲内的植物区系治疗。 该项目将在参与植物多样性工作的主要机构之间建立牢固和持久的国际联系，并加强系统生物学家之间的国际联系，并在发现生物多样性最丰富的个别国家阻止孤立主义倾向。
