Dear colleagues, the annual conference of the European Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) next year will be held in Smolenice, Slovakia, from 28-31 May 2010. The motto is "Succession, restoration and management of dry grasslands". The homepage is now fully functional, and you are invited to visit it at
http://www.edgg.org/edgg_meeting.html There will be oral and poster contributions as well as a series of excursions to diverse dry grassland sites. As in the previous years, we plan a guest-edited Dry Grassland Special Feature in the international journal "Tuexenia" with contributions from the conference, and there will be the possibility for participants from low-income countries to apply for some financial support. Deadline for registration and abstracts is 31 January 2010. With kind regards, Jürgen Dengler (Co-Chair of the EDGG) P.S.: The European Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) is an informal network of presently 360 dry grassland researchers and conservationists from 36 countries (see www.edgg.org) -- Dr. Jürgen Dengler Plant Systematics and Vegetation Ecology Biocentre Klein Flottbek University of Hamburg Ohnhorststr. 18 22609 Hamburg GERMANY Phone: +49-40-42816-403 Phone private: +49-4131-935038 Fax: +49-40-42816-539 E-mail: [email protected] URL: http://www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/bzf/fbha063/fbha063.htm European Dry Grassland Group: http://www.edgg.org Conference "Vegetation Databases and Climate Change": http://www.botanik.uni-greifswald.de/workshop2010.html
