In more arid regions, vegetative cover is generally sparse. Open spaces are usually covered by biological soil crusts, a highly specialized community of cyanobacteria, mosses, and lichens. [Information of the supplier]
Conceived as a collaborative research project to provide access to habitat descriptions, photographs, observations, nomenclature, distribution maps, and other data on California's wild plants, Calflora is now the online gateway to information about California’s wild plants. The database provides: comprehensive habitat and distribution information for wild plants—over 7,660 native and introduced species; over 850,000 plant location observations; information on over 15,000 relationships between old and new plant names; access to over 30,000 photographs of California plants in the CalPhotos database (provided in collaboration with the UC Berkeley Digital Library Project); online tools that help users find, display, and download the information they need. ...

This online flora of California mosses is a work in progress. It is a collaborative effort of a broad group of professional and amateur bryologists, coordinated by UC Berkeley and Cal State Northridge. The initial basis for this flora derives from three print publications (Norris and Shevock 2004a,b; Malcolm et al. 2009) as well as previously unreleased full-length treatments of about 400 species by D. H. Norris. The eFlora already includes many updates to this previous work, and will continue to be updated into the future. The eFlora is meant to be used by journeymen bryologists; if you are a beginner, we have great things planned for you, a sketch of which is on the beginner page. This online flora is highly tentative, nothing more than a running draft. We welcome anyone who wants to partner with us in improving the draft in little and large ways. We will make minor editorial updates from time to time; we also plan to present new peer-reviewed versions of generic treatments done by experts based on examination of specimens. Volunteers are welcome to join in this effort. ... [Information of the supplier]
Carex Working Group consists of three Oregon botanists fascinated by sedges and other difficult-to-identify plant groups. We came together in 1993 to map the distribution of Oregon's sedges and incorporated in 2002. After years of gathering data in the field and herbarium, we published The Atlas of Oregon Carex in 1999. We conduct surveys and assessments for land management agencies and private industry. ... [Information of the supplier]
The native plants of California are unlike any other in the world. From the richly colored expanse of spring wildflowers in the desert to groves of Monterey cypress on the coast, California's wild gardens are immensely diverse and awe-inspiring in their beauty. They define the landscape and offer Californians a sense of place, pride and stability, and they provide habitat for endemic wildlife species that exist no place else on earth. Since 1965, CNPS has worked hard to protect California's native plant heritage and preserve it for future generations. CNPS actively promotes the use of science in land use and management decisions through our Online Rare Plant Inventory and essential reference book: Manual of California Vegetation, 2nd Edition, both of which are the most advanced resources available for identifying and managing critical habitat in California. We work closely with decision-makers, scientists, and local planners to advocate for well-informed and environmental friendly policies, regulations, and land management practices. Originally formed in 1965 in the east bay region, the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) is a statewide non-profit organization of amateurs and professionals with a common interest in California's native plants. Our nearly 10,000 members work to promote native plant appreciation, research, education, and conservation through our five statewide programs and 33 regional chapters in California. Through membership in CNPS, Californians of all walks of life are able to support and engage in opportunities to experience and learn about native plants and their habitats, gardening and landscaping with native plants, restoration of habitat areas, and conservation issues throughout the state. ...

The following website describes a classification of vegetation developed by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS). It is a digital version of the book A Manual of California Vegetation published through the Society. A Manual of California Vegetation (MCV) is out of print. The information in this website encompasses virtually all of the information in the book with the exception of the literature citations. The book also has the advantage of higher resolution color photography than is possible through the web. Since the publication of the book in late 1995 a number of agencies and organizations have adopted the MCV classification. These include the California Department of Fish and Game, US. Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Nature Conservancy, and the US Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division. The classification developed in the Manual of California Vegetation is being refined and amended. Currently, major quantitative revisions are being developed for large portions of the California deserts and refinement is on-going on U.S. Forest Service lands and National Park Service lands. Through a joint effort of the CNPS and several state and federal agencies new information on disturbance regimes and successional states of vegetation is being developed for each vegetation description. ...

This site, which is under development, provides electronic access to field notebooks archived in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology collections. The goals of this project are to capture metadata on notebook volumes and sections, and to scan and reference pages for online browsing and querying. Current grant support provides funding to focus on digitization of a subset of historical materials pertaining to major early (1900-1950) faunal expeditions in California. Some of this material is unknown to the scientific community, and its usefulness will grow as it is made available. The majority of our field notes are associated with specimens deposited in the MVZ collections. Ultimately, our goal is to digitally link information from field notes, specimens, photographs, maps, and other materials (e.g., sound recordings) to maximize access for scientific researchers, conservation and management agencies, non-governmental organizations, historians, and other users. ...

As the only local spider specialist in a large metropolitan area, I get many inquiries about spiders from the general public. Since I'm mentioned on the Internet as a spider specialist, some of the public inquiries come from distant places. I also lecture on spiders to both adult and elementary-school audiences, and these audiences always have questions and comments; as do casual acquaintances when they first learn that I work with spiders. ...

There are four major divisions of this website: a) Our Master List of Southern California Taxa; b) Comments on the "Jepson Manual" and "A Flora of Southern California" by Munz; c) Analysis Pages; d) General Information. Fundamentally, our Master List gives a record of where we and others have found each and every taxa found in Southern California. We began some years ago to compile information on California Plant Pictures and Databases, California Oaks, and pages reporting Plants Blooming Now in Southern California. This section primarily contains links to other pages giving that information, with the links in California Plant Pictures and Databases sorted in order of the number of California species at each link. ...
