Welcome to the 27th Conference of the Plant Population Biology Section (PopBio) of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland (GfÖ), which will be held in Konstanz from 29th to 31st May 2014. PopBio is the annual international meeting for people working in the field of plant population biology and ecology. We will have two and a half days of exciting presentations. For those interested in visiting the largest nature reserve at the shore of Lake Constance, we also offer a half-day excursion to the local Wollmatinger Ried nature reserve. We have invited five top keynote speakers who will cover a diverse set of hot topics in plant population biology and ecology. Last but not least, on Friday night we'll gather for a conference dinner, with the Alps, Lake of Constance and the isle of Mainau as a glorious background to food and festivity. Mohamed Badawi and his band will bring along their drums. We, the Ecology group at the University of Konstanz, are very happy to invite you to Lake Constance and we are looking forward to your visit! ... [Information of the supplier]
The literature database of the vegetation ecology of central Europe of the Braunschweig University Library is a current database in which scientific publications about the flora and vegetation of Central Europe are indexed. Until now, the focus has been on Germany; indexing of the relevant publications for Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy, and Slovenia is planned. The adjacent areas are also taken into consideration in the selection. Currently ca. 11000 publications have been indexed whereby the data are continually updated and expanded. A special feature of the database is that scientists who are active in this area can themselves enter records of their publications into the database via the World Wide Web. Their entries are stored directly in the database and are then immediately searchable worldwide. ... [Information of the supplier, translated]
