    "abstract": "The U.S. National Park System's natural area parks contain diverse vascular and non-vascular plant species, with numbers varying by park size and ecological conditions. An ongoing project within the Air Quality Division is digitizing floristic data from 48 \"Class I\" parks—those with the highest air quality protection under the Clean Air Act. This initiative aims to centralize and standardize plant species records for environmental research, pollution monitoring, and conservation efforts. Currently, floristic data quality varies widely among parks, with only a fraction having complete and reliable records. The database, housed on a CDC CYBER computer using System 2000, catalogs species information, including taxonomy, native/exotic status, and occurrence across parks. Efforts are being made to incorporate existing digital floras to minimize redundancy. The project prioritizes accessibility and cost-effectiveness by maintaining a small, online database, with future plans for expansion contingent on funding and data usability improvements.",
