We are pleased to welcome you to the second conference on the Ecology of Soil Microorganisms to be held in November/December 2015 in Prague. This is the second conference on this topic after the first one organised in 2011 that was attended by more than 400 participants from all over the world. The conference is planned as an interdisciplinary platform that should offer as much interaction among various subjects within microbial ecology as possible. This includes questions addressing individual microbes, microbial communities as well as their interactions with the environment and other soil biota. We hope to link the modern molecular “omics” methods such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics with approaches based on soil chemical and biochemical analyses, the exploration of soil fauna and plant ecology. The other important goal of the conference is a wide scope covering the ecology of all microbes: bacteria and fungi as well as archaea and protozoa.We also cordially invite presenters from the emerging fields of ancient DNA and archaeomicrobiology. Our aim is to bring experts from all these disciplines to a meeting where all can benefit from interactions and to promote in this way the research in the field of soil ecology. The conference is held under the auspices of the President of the Czech Academy of Sciences Prof. Jiri Drahos ... [Information of the supplier]
We are pleased to welcome you to the third conference on the Ecology of Soil Microorganisms to be held in Helsinki, Finland in June 2018. The previous two meetings organised in Prague in 2011 and 2015 attracted almost 500 participants from all over the world. The ESM conference is an interdisciplinary platform addressing questions related to individual microbes (bacteria, fungi, archaea, protozoa and viruses), microbial communities and their ecological networks. Modern genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic methods are linked with approaches based on soil chemical, biochemical and functional analyses, exploration of soil fauna and plant ecology. We cordially invite experts from all these disciplines to join us in Helsinki to promote state-of the art research in the field of soil ecology and enjoy the northern midsummer madness! ...

We are pleased to announce that Rhizosphere 5, the fifth in a series of international conferences devoted to the study of the rhizosphere, will take place in July 2019 and will be hosted by the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada. Rhizosphere 5 builds on past successes of the Rhizosphere conferences held in Munich (2004), Montpellier (2007), Perth (2011), and Maastricht (2015); and is the first in the series to be held in North America. The general theme for the conference is "shining light on the plant-root-soil interface". As with the previous conferences, Rhizosphere 5 will provide a multidisciplinary forum for exchanging innovative ideas and methods for studying the rhizosphere and understanding its complexity and its role in both natural and agricultural ecosystem processes. The conference provides a stage for both young and established scientists to present their work to a welcoming international audience. ... [Information of the supplier]
We are pleased to invite you to the 4th conference on the Ecology of Soil Microorganisms to be held in Prague from 19 to 23 June 2022. This will be the fourth conference of the series of triennial symposia on this topic, last organized in Helsinky in 2018. The conference is planned as an interdisciplinary platform that should offer as much interaction among various subjects within microbial ecology as possible. This includes questions addressing individual microbes, microbial communities as well as their interactions with the environment and other soil biota. We hope to link the modern molecular "omics" methods such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics with approaches based on soil chemical and biochemical analyses, the exploration of soil fauna and plant ecology. ...

Ressourceneffizienz und Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt – dies sind zwei wichtige Ziele nachhaltiger Entwicklung. Auch für die "grüne", die ökologisch nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung sind sie von zentraler Bedeutung. Zugleich bringen diese Nachhaltigkeitsziele für kommunales Handeln teils widersprüchliche Implikationen mit sich. Die Stadt wird zum Ort, an dem unterschiedliche Anforderungen und Ziele aufeinandertreffen. Die Kommunen stehen vor der Aufgabe, sie miteinander zu vereinen und in ihre Planungen zu integrieren. Die besondere Herausforderung, die sich dabei stellt: Die nationalen Ziele und Programme für Ressourcenschutz und den Erhalt der Biodiversität sind per se keine stadtplanerischen Konzepte. Sie kennen keine administrative Stadtgrenze und machen auch nicht Halt, wo Siedlung aufhört und Umland beginnt. Das IÖR widmet sich bei seiner Jahrestagung 2016 diesem Spannungsfeld der Umsetzung nationaler Strategien in der Stadt. ... [Information des Anbieters]
The 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting will be held 11-16 February 2018 at the Oregon Convention Center, located at 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland, OR 97232. Cosponsored by AGU, ASLO, and TOS, the Ocean Sciences Meeting will consist of a diverse program covering topics in all areas of the ocean sciences discipline. Portland, Oregon’s largest city, sits on the Columbia and Willamette rivers, in the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood. Portland is known for their eccentric locals, sophisticated yet cosmopolitan atmosphere and eco-friendly culture. It is the perfect venue for the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting! ...

In this symposium international speakers will review how organisms not only respond to the Earth’s surface, but also directly modify and control it to promote their own persistence. Plants and animals can directly control the fluxes of energy and matter that underlie biogeochemical cycles, gas fluxes, sediment transport and form new habitats. Recent recognition of biotic interactions with Earth surface processes has led to a new Geoscience paradigm: The Earth’s surface is not only the product of tectonic forces (mountain building) and climate (destroying relief by weathering and erosion), but also through biotic processes that are active over micro- to macroscopic scales. Biota moderates tectonic and climate controls on surface processes and is an equally important player in shaping the Earth. This symposium will review the findings that triggered this paradigm shift, for example that the activity of biota extends to great depth (the “deep biosphere”),,soil development is related to plant diversity and burrowing animals,,plants diverge the flow and evaporation of water, higher plants can induce the uptake of mineral nutrients that vastly exceeds the rock weathering of these elements, vegetation moderates soil erosion, large river floodplains are stabilized by plants. The symposium will combine geoscience, soil, ecology, hydrology, and geobiology research to discuss how new developments in each of these fields should be employed to quantify the entire chain of Earth surface processes influenced by biotic activities, and how these developments can be used to form predictions of global change. ...

The scientific enterprise embraces a broad spectrum of activities, from fundamental research to advanced applications. Academia, government, and industry all perform critical roles in moving ideas into innovations. The demands of the twenty-first century, including improved access to sufficient food, clean water, sustainable energy, and health care, can only be met by accelerating discovery and the translation of discovery into applications. Robust, sustained investments across the full spectrum of the scientific enterprise are essential for developing products that improve the human condition and drive economic growth. We can speed progress by amplifying collaboration across sectors and disciplines. What new avenues for interaction between basic and applied research might be explored? How can we encourage broader participation from every sector and demographic to meet today’s needs and to help invent the future? ... [Information of the supplier]
