Abstract
1.Flora is the most important reference to understand the plant resources of a country or region. During 1975–2003, two versions of Flora of Taiwan have been published. The publication is a very relevant milestone of plant taxonomy. However, new taxa have been continuously found. It is necessary to compile those new information. Electronic flora, compared to paper flora, have the advantages of unlimited extension of data. New message is able to be updated immediately as well. In addition, there is no paper consuming for e-flora. The interactive key, which is an important element of e-flora, also provides a more convenient speciesidentified tool. This program focuses on flora of woody plants and ferns in Taiwan, including their interactive key and revision and supplement that were not included in the previous publications. It aims to provide an updated fern and woody plant flora of Taiwan and a convenient tool for people and researchers to use on line.2.Because of long-term natural destruction and stress from artificial development, coastal forest has no longer been the great green wall for Taiwan and gradually broken into pieces. Take Aogu Wetland Forest Park for example. Telemetry is used to study stand change in order to understand its succession and vegetation fluctuation. It is expected to build a vast areal monitor system at the coastal forest, and then to provide more accurate and effective materials to detect its stand succession, health monitor, and even to evaluate stand ageing and degradation through the monitor process. With the help of this vast areal monitor system, apart from being an indicator for planning the coastal forest and wetland in the future, this model can also be enlarged to the whole western coastal forest. By building this coastal ecological monitoring system, effective management can be achieved and further management decision can be provided.
