OpportunityTitle: Morphological Database -- Oregon Flora Project
Description: This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications. This announcement is to provide public notice of the Bureau of Land Management&#146;s intention to fund project activities without full and open competition. Unique Qualifications &#150; The potential recipient is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based upon the fact that this opportunity is being issued under a Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESUs are partnerships that provide research, technical assistance, and education. The potential recipient is a member of the Pacific Northwest CESU program. The Oregon Flora Project is a long-term effort to complete a new flora for the State of Oregon. A new and up to date flora is critical to the management of a number of agency programs including the native, invasive and sensitive plant programs. The last flora completed for the state was &#147;A Manual of Higher Plants of Oregon&#148; by Morton Peck in 1962. Since that time, an extensive amount of taxonomic information has been produced through research, studies, and inventories. The Oregon Flora Project has developed a morphological database to compile the most current information on the State&#146;s flora. Data has been compiled in the database for only a few plant families to date. The purpose of this project is to compile and enter data into the morphological database.
