Floristic Inventory of the Jalca Formations of Northern Peru

安第斯科迪勒拉山脉延伸了南美洲西部，高海拔和纬度范围的结合形成了几种特殊的高山环境。Jalco组基本上是3000到4500米之间的栖息地，通常被认为是湿润状态的中间地带。该提案寻求资金，对秘鲁北部的雅尔加地层进行为期三年的植物区系标本调查。收集将包括维管植物、蕨类植物和蕨类植物联盟、苔藓植物、地衣和真菌的适当代金券。该项目将产生一个强大的标本数据库，记录秘鲁北部雅尔卡地层的生物多样性，并编制一份带注释的清单，详细说明这些地层的植物区系。合作组织者包括秘鲁研究人员和学生；代金券将在东道国和其他机构分发。

The Andean Cordillera extends the length of western South America, and the combination of high elevations and latitudinal range give rise to several types of specialized alpine environments. Jalco formations are essentially confiend to habitats between 3000 and 4500 meters and are usually considered intermediate in moisture regimes. This proposal seeks funding to conduct a three-year specimen-based floristic inventory for the jalca formations of northern Peru. Collecting will consist of appropriate vouchers of vascular plants, ferns and fern allies, bryophytes, lichens and fungi. The project will yield a robust specimen database documenting the biodiversity of the jalca formations in northern Peru, and produce an annotated checklist detailing the flora of the formations. Collaroborators include Peruvian researchers and students; vouchers will be distributed in the host country and other institutions.
