Weather is a Need to Revised Local Plant Flora or Not?
Taxonomic data and fields works leads to finding many new reports of plant species even sometime genera which was not reported in Local Plant Flora. Shall we do something that revised plant flora as per actual condition. As researchers finds new records to area or region same might be the way of extinction of other species form that area of region.
What should be the protocols that taxonomist can do?
'Flora' ( f in Caps) denotes a book describing the 'flora' (f not in Caps) of a particular region.
If there is no recent comprehensive floristic account is available then only you take up the work, otherwise not.
Plants take some time to migrate in distant areas or become extinct.
Kindly also note that floristic work and revision are different. Revision deals with detailed study on a selective plant group (family, genus, tribe, etc) in a country or at most in a phytogeographical area.
I am sure that you can think of the ways planting materials (seeds, plant parts) etc. distributed from one place to another by several agents - wind, storm, birds, animals and so on. So, it's not surprising to find a species which has not been recorded earlier.
As has been very kindly suggested by
Dr. Subir please take care in your writing
....... If you can do a scientific study wholeheartedly , you will definitely get plenty of good outputs.
....... This I can assure you.
Best of luck in your research work.
For such a comparison you have mentioned in your question, you can consider some other parameters like precipitation, soil moisture, pH, electrical conductivity (just to mention a few) etc. besides recording the species/genera periodically (taken in replicates) and perform a comparative analysis. I hope that you can get some good results.
