The Philippines archipelago, comprising over 7500 islands, is known to contain high levels of unique plant and animal diversity but several of the islands, especially Visayas and Mindanao in the south of the country, still need to be intensively sampled. Many animal and plant species, including potential crop plants, await discovery and description even as extensive areas are threatened by deforestation. This four-year project will document and describe land plant and lichen diversity in the southern Philippines through a series of large field expeditions followed by taxonomic study and formal description. The project team will document the occurrence and abundance of diverse plant species through a combination of physical museum collections and high-resolution photographs. All images and locality data will be placed online in easily searchable formats. The project will also develop a DNA repository of collections made during the field expeditions for future genealogical studies. Project data will be used to assemble species inventories in different areas of the southern Philippines to both identify biodiversity hotspots and prioritize land management decisions. Diverse training in field and laboratory methods will be provided to undergraduate and graduate researchers in Texas and North Carolina to prepare them for diverse science careers. U.S. high school students will learn about biodiversity through a project-based curriculum that includes exposure to collections, digital data, and spatial analysis. Outreach, including online interactive programs through the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT), will disseminate research findings broadly within the U.S. and the Philippines to both scientists and the public.This botanical survey of the southern Philippines will be conducted through eight major field expeditions. Herbarium specimens will be digitized and freely disseminated along with associated metadata and images of both living in-situ and museum specimens derived from the collections generated by the project. Collections will be analyzed using a combination of morphological and molecular systematic approaches to produce a diversity of taxonomic products, including revisions, regional annotated checklists, and multi-entry keys. Project data will be used to characterize patterns of species richness and endemism and test biogeographic hypotheses associated with the effect of Pleistocene land conformations on the Philippine flora. The project will discover new species, rediscover poorly known species, and document new species records for the Philippines.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

菲律宾群岛由 7500 多个岛屿组成，以其丰富的独特植物和动物多样性而闻名，但其中几个岛屿，特别是该国南部的米沙鄢群岛和棉兰老岛，仍需要进行深入采样。尽管大片地区受到森林砍伐的威胁，但许多动植物物种，包括潜在的农作物，仍有待发现和描述。这个为期四年的项目将通过一系列大型实地考察，随后进行分类学研究和正式描述，记录和描述菲律宾南部的陆地植物和地衣多样性。项目团队将通过结合博物馆实物收藏和高分辨率照片来记录不同植物物种的出现和丰富程度。所有图像和位置数据都将以易于搜索的格式在线放置。该项目还将开发一个 DNA 存储库，存储在实地考察期间收集的藏品，用于未来的家谱研究。项目数据将用于汇总菲律宾南部不同地区的物种清单，以识别生物多样性热点并确定土地管理决策的优先顺序。将为德克萨斯州和北卡罗来纳州的本科生和研究生研究人员提供现场和实验室方法的多样化培训，为他们从事不同的科学职业做好准备。美国高中生将通过基于项目的课程了解生物多样性，其中包括接触馆藏、数字数据和空间分析。外展活动，包括通过德克萨斯植物研究所 (BRIT) 进行的在线互动项目，将在美国和菲律宾向科学家和公众广泛传播研究成果。这项对菲律宾南部的植物调查将通过八次主要实地考察进行。植物标本馆标本将被数字化，并与相关元数据以及来自该项目收集的现场和博物馆标本的相关元数据和图像一起自由传播。 将结合形态学和分子系统方法对馆藏进行分析，以产生多种分类产品，包括修订、区域注释清单和多条目键。项目数据将用于描述物种丰富度和特有性的模式，并测试与更新世土地构造对菲律宾植物区系影响相关的生物地理学假设。该项目将发现新物种，重新发现鲜为人知的物种，并记录菲律宾的新物种记录。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
