Moss Flora of Colombia

9626747丘吉尔PI和哥伦比亚同事之间的合作努力，这个项目将提供一个完整的哥伦比亚苔藓植物区系治疗。 哥伦比亚藓类植物群包括68科、256属和889种，估计占世界藓类总多样性的10%，占新热带区藓类多样性的30-40%，占热带安第斯山脉所有藓类的53-60%。 这项建议的重点是简明的物种描述，但更高的分类群（属和科）也将被描述，以便使工作有用的工人在委内瑞拉南部秘鲁以及那些在哥伦比亚。 除了目前项目的成果外，还将通过因特网提供一个包含15 000种哥伦比亚苔藓收藏品的数据库，以及《新格拉纳滕斯苔藓原》（英文和西班牙文）和哥伦比亚苔藓种类目录。物种描述和分布图将定期更新，并将添加到互联网服务器中。 该项目将对新热带苔藓的知识产生重大影响，这些苔藓在维持和保护山地景观方面发挥着重要作用。

9626747 Churchill A collaborative effort between the PI and Colombian colleagues, this project will provide a complete floristic treatment of the mosses of Colombia. The Colombian moss flora contains 68 families, 256 genera and 889 species, and is estimated to represent 10% of the total worldwide diversity of mosses, 30-40% of the Neotropical moss diversity, and 53-60% of all mosses in the tropical Andes. The emphasis of this proposal is concise species descriptions, but higher taxa (genera and families) will also be described so as to make the work useful to workers in Venezuela south to southern Peru as well as those in Colombia. A database of 15,000 collections of Colombian mosses, as well as the text of the Prodromus Bryologiae Novo-Granatensis (in both English and Spanish) and a catalogue of Colombian moss types will be made available via the Internet in addition to the results of the current project. Species descriptions and distribution maps will be added to the Internet server in regular updates. This project will have significant impact on knowledge about neotropical mosses, which play an important role in maintaining and preserving montane landscapes.
