Diversity of bryophytes in rainforest environments of Argentina
Project summary:
In Argentina, it is still necessary to expand the knowledge of the briological diversity. While knowledge and repositories for other plant groups are constantly being revised, there is widespread indebtedness to briological collections. The objective of this project is to study the diversity of bryophytes from rainforest environments in Argentina. To this end, sampling campaigns, herbaria reviews and collaborative work with different national institutions will be carried out. Obtaining this subsidy will allow the promotion of studies that help to increase the understanding of bryophytes
