Project Detail

On-line distribution atlas of lichens in the Czech Republic applied in nature conservation

Name:	On-line distribution atlas of lichens in the Czech Republic applied in nature conservation
Researchers:	Malíček Jiří (researcher)
Provider:	TA ČR
Number:	TH03030469
Realization from:	2018
Realization to:	2021
Summary:	A development of a public on-line application about the distribution of lichen species in the Czech Republic, including additional information and functions, is the main aim of the project. Our attempt is to create a system usable by the state administration (e.g. Ministry of Environment), scientific institutions (universities, museums), regional authorities, individual lichenologists and conservationists. Up to four years from the beginning, the public will get an access to the fully functional application, containing extensive information, currently available mostly only to specialists in lichenology. A revision of a list of lichens occurring in the Czech Republic, assessment of the occurrence of doubtful species and the national lichen biodiversity are additional aims of the project.
