This interactive guide is addressed to anyone who is interested in the flora of Estonia. It includes c. 1100 plant species (out of ca 1500 species recorded from Estonia), incl. several introduced woody species which are cultivated in parks and orchards. Some plants which are difficult to separate even for specialists are excluded from this key, e.g. many species of Alchemilla, Craetagus, Hieracium, Rosa, Salix, Taraxacum etc. Several very rare species are excluded as well from the present version. This guide was prepared within the project KeyToNature, in cooperation between the University of Trieste (Italy), the University of Tartu and the Estonian University of Life Sciences (Estonia). Aino Kalda, Thea Kull , Ülle Reier have provided important input. Rein Kalamees, Jaan Liira, Jaanus Paal, Kersti Püssa, Elle Roosaluste, Kai Rünk, Andres Saag and Tiina Talve put at our disposal several pictures. ... [Information of the supplier]
The main theme of IAVS 2013 is “Vegetation patterns and their underlying processes”, although topics on all aspects of vegetation science are welcome. Sessions are planned to address innovative theory, methodology and application of vegetation ecology over a range of spatial and temporal scales. Particular focus will be on processes and drivers behind vegetation diversity and dynamics, both in natural and cultural landscapes. The symposium will address patterns and processes concerning natural undisturbed vegetation, as well as under conditions of changing anthropogenic impact. ... [Information of the supplier]
