MUSCI Natural Resourc Assessment, a professional scientific research collaboration, conducts studies on Pacific Coast bryophytes, especially mosses within California. We evaluate taxonomic and distributional information in adapting identification tools for loccal and regional focus. We also study sensitive (endangered, threatened and rare) moss species and their habitats, and assist in the preparation of biological reports for submission to land use regulatory agencies.

MUSCI conducts original research on the moss species within the North San Francisco Bay Areaof Caliornia. And, develops multiple entry keys for their identification.

MUSCI supports the development of a regional bryophyte resource enter at the University of California,Davis Center for Plant Diversity (DAV).
