Development of a Catalogue of North American Bryophytes at the New York Botanical Garden

纽约植物园（NYBG）获得资助，支持两位标本编目员帮助完成《北美苔藓植物目录》。该项目将涉及纽约植物园苔藓植物标本室96000个北美苔藓植物标本的数据库。nsf支持的工作人员将编目62,400个标本（65%），NYBG支持的工作人员将在两年内使用NYBG标本数据库应用程序CASSIA对剩余的33,600个标本进行编目。NYBG苔藓植物标本馆是西半球最大的苔藓植物标本馆，拥有约60万份标本。长期计划要求建立整个苔藓植物的数据库，但北美的收集将首先完成，以加快准备北美植物区系项目的苔藓植物卷。这两个项目的同步将对双方都非常有利。纽约植物园苔藓植物群是编制植物区系的最大单一原始数据来源。该项目的参与者（作者、审稿人和编辑）将能够通过互联网访问NYBG北美苔藓植物目录，以选择借来的标本进行形态学研究，确定分类群的分布，并获得栖息地和类型标本数据。该项目不仅是纽约植物园和北美植物区系项目的合作项目，也是美国国家科学基金会系统学与生态学研究项目和数据库活动项目的合作项目，它们共同资助了该项目。

9632600 Theirs The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) has been funded to support two specimen cataloguers to help complete the North American Bryophytes Catalogue. The project will involve databasing 96,000 North American bryophyte specimens from the NYBG bryophyte herbarium. NSF-supported staff would catalogue 62,400 specimens (65%), and NYBG-supported staff will catalogue the remaining 33,600 over a two-year period, using the NYBG specimen databasing application CASSIA. The NYBG bryophyte herbarium the largest in the western hemisphere, with approximately 600,000 specimens. Long-term plans call for databasing the entire bryophyte collection, but the North American collections will be done first to expedite preparation of the bryophyte volume for the Flora of North America project. The synchronization of the two projects will be very advantageous to both. The NYBG bryophyte holdings represent the largest single source of raw data for the preparation of the Flora. Participants in the project (authors, reviewers and editors) will be able to access the NYBG North American Bryophytes Catalogue via the Internet to select specimens to borrow for morphological study, to determine distributions of taxa, and to obtain habitat and type specimen data. This project is not only a partnership between the New York Botanical Garden and the Flora of North America project, but also between the Research Collections in Systematics & Ecology Program and the Database Activities Program of the NSF, which have co-funded the project.
