2.3 million specimens, 65 institutions, 1 year later DIGITIZING 'ALL' NORTH AMERICAN LICHEN AND BRYOPHYTE SPECIMENS Corinna Gries Edward Gilbert Thomas H. Nash III

 NSF ADBC funding 2011  ~ 2.3 million specimen (90%)  900,000 lichens  1.4 million bryophytes  65 non-governmental US herbaria (95%)  16 digitization centers (collaborators)  Mobilizing existing digital records  2 PEN proposals funded 2012  Add 120,000 specimen LICHENS BRYOPHYTES CLIMATE CHANGE

PARTICIPATING HERBARIA

Research Questions:  How are changes in distribution patterns of lichens and bryophytes over time correlated with man-made environmental changes?  How accurately can we predict where specific species can be found using existing herbarium data? LICHENS BRYOPHYTES CLIMATE CHANGE
