Moss Flora of China ( English version )

《中国苔藓植物群》（The Moss Flora of China）是一份基于印刷品和网络的中国苔藓物种名录，由密苏里州植物园（Botanical Garden）协调的美国苔藓学家和中国科学院（Chinese Academy of Sciences）协调的中国专家合作开展，沿着的还有加拿大、芬兰、日本和其他地方的苔藓学家。该项目将提供中国和台湾所有苔藓的完整植物区系处理。中国藓类植物群包括65科、415属、2400种，约占世界已知藓类的20%。这个更新项目的目的是结束这一重要工作的出版，重点放在预期的8卷治疗的最后三卷，从植物标本馆标本和新的野外收集，最新的信息命名，系统发育关系和地理分布的简明物种描述。在这项工作中提出的基本信息将是有用的苔藓物种丰富度的全球和区域模式的比较，特别是对北方半球的中国库存补充正在进行的或接近完成的调查北美，欧洲和（旧）苏联。世界各地的进化和生态研究、生物多样性和生物地理学调查的研究人员以及从事养护和土地管理工作的人员都将使用权威的分类资料。 一个完整的中国藓类植物的说明与插图，分布图，和词汇，苔藓术语将在网上提供，包括一个完全可搜索的互动数据库的所有物种。来自中国主要研究机构的学者将访问美国，与密苏里州植物园的同事和学生一起工作;反过来，他们将促进在中国进行有针对性的实地收集，以获得与完成植物群相关的材料，并为分子系统学家分析苔藓的系统发育关系提供DNA样本。美国国家科学基金会国际科学与工程办公室正在为该项目提供支持，以完成中国苔藓植物群的研究。

0455568Crosby and He The Moss Flora of China is a print- and web-based inventory of the moss species of China, conducted as a collaborative international project between U.S. bryologists coordinated by the Missouri Botanical Garden and Chinese specialists coordinated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with contributing treatments from bryologists in Canada, Finland, Japan, and elsewhere. The project will provide a complete floristic treatment of all the mosses of China and Taiwan. The Chinese moss flora contains an estimated 65 families, 415 genera and 2400 species, and thus represents about 20% of all the mosses known in the world. The aim of this renewal project is to conclude the publication of this important work, focusing on the last three volumes of an anticipated 8-volume treatment, with concise species descriptions drawn from herbarium specimens and new field collections, up-to-date information on nomenclature, phylogenetic relationships, and geographical distributions. The essential information presented in this work will be useful in comparisons of global and regional patterns of moss species richness, especially for the northern hemisphere where the Chinese inventory complements ongoing or nearly complete surveys for North America, Europe, and (old) Soviet Union. Authoritative taxonomic information will be used worldwide by researchers in evolutionary and ecological studies, in biodiversity and biogeographical investigations, as well as by those working in conservation and land management. A complete account of Chinese mosses with illustrations, distribution maps, and glossary to bryological terminology will be made available on the web, including a fully searchable interactive database of all species. Scholars from leading Chinese institutions studying mosses and related plants will visit the U.S. and work with colleagues and students at the Missouri Botanical Garden; in turn, they will facilitate targeted field collecting in China for materials related to completion of the flora and for DNA samples for molecular systematists analyzing phylogenetic relationships of mosses. The NSF Office of International Science and Engineering is contributing support to the project, for completion of the moss flora of China.
