| Abstract Detail
Bryology and Lichenology Williams, Norris [1]. Bryophytes and Lichens in Florida herbaria. Our role as part of the consortium is to contribute to the digitization of the Florida collections that are important because they potentially fill gaps of the tropical and sub-tropical ecosystems that may be especially susceptible to climate change effects. We estimate that we will have to process and digitize 33,000 specimens in a year to complete the project in three years. The objective of the project is to digitize the label information images of North American lichen and bryophyte specimens (Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico). This project is a contribution towards the Lichens, Bryophytes and Climate Change NSF Thematic Collections Network. You can check more on the initiative at the following site: http://lbcc1.acis.ufl.edu/. We are going to image and process the specimens of the following Florida herbaria: FLAS, FTU, FTG, and USF (The FSU herbarium decided it would not participate in this project).
