[tdwg-content] Floristic regions of the world

[Chuck Miller]

Markus,
The TDWG standard is Richard Brummit's publication, published by the Hunt Institute, which is more recent than Takhtajan's:

Plant Taxonomic Database Standards No. 2. World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions, ed. 2.
R. K. Brummitt with assistance from F. Pando, S. Hollis, N. A. Brummitt and others. 2001. xv, 137 pp.; 17 maps. ISBN 0-913196-72-X.

There are several companion pieces to Brummitt's publication: 
PDF http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/tdwg/TDWG_geo2.pdf
Comma delimited and Access files: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/tdwg/geography_ed2.zip
ArcView shape files: http://www.kew.org/gis/tdwg/index.html

As I announced at the TDWG meeting, I'm organizing a Task Group to update the TDWG World Geographical Scheme for ratification as a current, versus prior, standard.

Chuck

Subject: [tdwg-content] Floristic regions of the world

Hello,

TDWG lists as one of its prior standard the "Floristic regions of the world":
http://www.tdwg.org/standards/104/

Unfortunately we do not give any information about it at all. It seems to me that the work of Takhtajan, A. 1986 is the actual endorsed standard.
Can someone verfiy this?

Takhtajan, A. 1986. Floristic regions of the world, pp. vii-xiii. University of California Press
http://www.isbnsearch.org/isbn/0520040279
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytochorion#Takhtajan.27s_floristic_regionalization


Thanks,
Markus
