The Andean Cordillera extends the length of western South America, and the combination of high elevations and latitudinal range give rise to several types of specialized alpine environments. Jalco formations are essentially confiend to habitats between 3000 and 4500 meters and are usually considered intermediate in moisture regimes. This proposal seeks funding to conduct a three-year specimen-based floristic inventory for the jalca formations of northern Peru. Collecting will consist of appropriate vouchers of vascular plants, ferns and fern allies, bryophytes, lichens and fungi. The project will yield a robust specimen database documenting the biodiversity of the jalca formations in northern Peru, and produce an annotated checklist detailing the flora of the formations. Collaroborators include Peruvian researchers and students; vouchers will be distributed in the host country and other institutions.

安第斯山脉延伸至南美洲西部，高海拔和纬度范围的结合产生了几种特殊的高山环境。 Jalco 地层基本上适合 3000 至 4500 米之间的栖息地，通常被认为处于中等湿度状态。 该提案寻求资金，对秘鲁北部的哈尔卡地层进行为期三年的基于标本的植物区系清查。 收集将包括适当的维管束植物、蕨类植物和蕨类植物、苔藓植物、地衣和真菌。 该项目将产生一个强大的标本数据库，记录秘鲁北部哈尔卡地层的生物多样性，并生成一份详细说明地层植物区系的带注释的清单。 合作者包括秘鲁研究人员和学生；代金券将在东道国和其他机构分发。
