Moss Flora of China ( English version )

0455568克罗斯比和他的《中国的苔藓植物志》是一份关于中国苔藓物种的印刷和网络清单，是由密苏里州植物园协调的美国苔藓专家和中国科学院协调的中国专家共同开展的一个国际合作项目，加拿大、芬兰、日本和其他地方的苔藓专家也对此做出了贡献。该项目将对中国和台湾的所有苔藓进行全面的植物区系处理。中国苔藓植物区系约有65科、415属、2400种，约占世界已知苔藓植物总数的20%。这一更新项目的目的是完成这一重要著作的出版，重点放在预期的8卷处理的最后三卷上，从标本馆标本和新的实地收集中提取简明的物种描述，以及关于命名、系统发育关系和地理分布的最新信息。这项工作中提供的基本信息将有助于比较全球和区域的苔藓物种丰富度格局，特别是对于北半球，中国的调查补充了对北美、欧洲和(前)苏联正在进行的或几乎完成的调查。权威的分类信息将被全世界的研究人员用于进化和生态研究、生物多样性和生物地理调查，以及那些从事保护和土地管理工作的人。中国苔藓植物的完整介绍，包括插图、分布图和苔藓术语词汇表，将在网上提供，包括一个完全可搜索的所有物种的互动数据库。来自中国研究苔藓及相关植物的领先机构的学者将访问美国，并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野外采集，以获得与完成植物区系相关的材料，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，以完成中国的苔藓植物群。

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.
