A grant has been awarded to Oregon State University under the direction of Dr. A. Liston. This grant will allow the Oregon State University Herbarium to complete the databasing and georeferencing of its estimated 156,500 fern, gymnosperm, and flowering plant specimens collected in Oregon. With 3900 vascular plant species, the Oregon flora represents approximately 20% of the plant species found in the United States. The OSU Herbarium is the principal institution devoted to the documentation and study of Oregon's diverse flora. The OSU Herbarium collection encompasses 125 years and the entire state, providing comprehensive chronological, taxonomic and geographic coverage of Oregon plants. Data sharing with local, state, regional, and national efforts will be facilitated by a complete database of Oregon vascular plant specimens. The specimen database is used in a wide range of applications, including 1) the taxonomic study of the North American and Oregon floras; 2) documenting the occurrence and status of rare and endangered plants; and 3) documenting the distribution and spread of invasive plants. For each specimen, complete label data will be captured, providing taxonomic, locality, habitat, and collecting information. Each locality will be provided with latitude and longitude, allowing voucher-based mapping of all Oregon vascular plants. The specimen database and maps will be readily accessible via the internet. The OSU Herbarium specimen database will be useful to the management of plant diversity on federal, state, and private lands. Nearly 60% of Oregon's land is federally owned. US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and other resource managers throughout the state rely on plant taxonomic and distribution data provided by the OSU Herbarium. The specimen database and online maps will greatly enhance the accessibility of this information. Citizens and educators at all levels are interested in the plant diversity of Oregon, but most do not have access to the resources of the herbarium. The accessibility of label information and distribution maps will provide new opportunities for the general public, educators, and their students to increase their knowledge of Oregon's plants. Approximately 16 undergraduate students will be employed in curatorial, data entry, and georeferencing tasks associated with the project. These students will gain experience in collections procedures, specimen curation, and data entry. The OSU Herbarium is used by 10 courses taught in the Department of Botany and Plant Pathology. The specimen database will enhance and provide new opportunities for students enrolled in these courses.

在A. Liston博士的指导下，已授予俄勒冈州立大学的赠款。 该赠款将允许俄勒冈州立大学植物标本室完成其估计的156,500 Fern，Gymnosperm和在俄勒冈州收集的开花植物标本的数据库和地理发射。俄勒冈植物群拥有3900种血管植物，约占美国发现的植物物种的20％。 OSU植物标本室是致力于俄勒冈州多元化植物的文档和研究的主要机构。 OSU植物标本室的收集涵盖了125年，整个州都提供了俄勒冈植物的全面按时间顺序，分类学和地理覆盖范围。 俄勒冈血管植物标本的完整数据库将促进与地方，州，地区和国家努力共享的数据共享。 标本数据库用于广泛的应用中，包括1）北美和俄勒冈植物的分类研究； 2）记录稀有和濒危植物的发生和状态； 3）记录侵入性植物的分布和传播。 对于每个标本，将捕获完整的标签数据，提供分类学，当地，栖息地和收集信息。 每个地方都会有纬度和经度，从而允许所有俄勒冈血管植物的凭证映射。 标本数据库和地图将很容易通过Internet访问。 OSU标本室标本数据库将有助于管理联邦，州和私人土地上的植物多样性。 俄勒冈州近60％的土地是联邦政府拥有的。 美国森林服务局，土地管理局以及全州的其他资源经理依靠OSU植物标本室提供的植物分类学和分销数据。 标本数据库和在线地图将大大增强此信息的可访问性。 各级公民和教育者对俄勒冈州的植物多样性都感兴趣，但大多数人都无法获得植物标本室的资源。 标签信息和分销图的可访问性将为公众，教育工作者及其学生提供新的机会，以增加对俄勒冈植物的了解。 大约有16名本科生将受雇于与该项目相关的策展，数据输入和地理发行任务。 这些学生将获得收集程序，标本策划和数据输入的经验。 OSU植物标本室由植物学和植物病理学系教授的10门课程使用。 标本数据库将增强并为参加这些课程的学生提供新的机会。
