Working Group on Dry Grasslands in the Nordic and Baltic RegionContent |
||
The Working Group on Dry Grasslands in the Nordic and Baltic Region was founded in 2005 by
Dr. Jürgen Dengler
as an informal association of researchers dealing with any aspects related to dry grasslands in the Nordic and Baltic Region.
Nordic and Baltic Region (see map) in this sense comprises Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia (NW parts), Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Poland (N parts), and Germany (N parts). Presently, the Working Group consists of 35 members from 10 countries,
and we correspond basically via e-mail and this homepage.
For this purpose, the Working Group closely cooperates with the German Arbeitsgruppe Trockenrasen, the Workshop European Vegetation Survey (EVS) of the International Association for Vegetation Science (IAVS) , and SynBioSys Europe. [Top] |

The phytosociological database of the Working Group presently [31.03.08] comprises 7,016 relevés. We have localised further 4,539 digital and 5,819 printed relevés, which will be added to the database gradually. If you have suitable relevés for the database or if you would like to use our data for your own analyses, please, contact Jürgen Dengler. |

In 2008, the Working Group will hold its first scientific meeting, jointly with the German Arbeitsgruppe Trockenrasen. The Dry Grassland Meeting 2008 will take place in Kiel at the German Baltic coast from 26 to 28 August 2008. The two major topics of this conference are:
The program consists of 1 ˝ days of lectures and poster presentation and 1 day of excursions to dry grassland areas in Schleswig-Holstein. The conference language will be mainly English although German contributions are also allowed. You are cordially invited to participate in this first conference of the Working Group. Registration is possible until 15 June 2008. For further information, see the conference homepage. [weblink] [Top] |
