🌿 Yesterday, Associate Editor of our journal Florian Jansen presented an exciting update at #IAVS2026 - introducing EIVE 1.5, the latest version of the Ecological Indicator Values for Europe database. 👉 This research builds on an earlier publication in our journal: doi.org/10.3897/VCS....
🗣️At #IAVS2026, our Editor-in-Chief Jürgen Dengler presented findings from 8,108 Swiss #grassland plots. 💡 It turned out that some neophytes did reduce native #plant diversity, while others were associated with more of it. Therefore, further #research would need more evidence-based approaches.
📍 After yesterday's excursion and welcome reception at the Jardín Botánico Atlántico, the 68th IAVS Symposium has started in Gijon! 🙌 We are delighted to have attended an opening speech by #IAVS president, Susan Wiser, and head of the local organising committe, Borja Jiménez-Alfaro. (1/2)
📖 We are thrilled to announce the publication of the second updated and revised edition of “The Postglacial Vegetation History in Southwestern Bulgaria: A Paleoecological Approach” by Prof. Spassimir Tonkov. 👉 Access the book here: doi.org/10.3897/ab.e178106
