The 2022 Eurasian Grassland Conference of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) is organised by the University of the Basque Country (Spain). The conference aims to bring together the latest research and link this to the conservation of grasslands in the face of global change. The following sessions will take place:
- Succession and species turnover in abandoned grasslands
- Biodiversity of urban grasslands
- Above- and below-ground grassland diversity
- Grassland conservation and global change
- Classification of Palaearctic grasslands and other open habitats
- Conservation genetics
In addition, we will offer:
- Special Issues in Tuexenia and Hacquetia.
- Young Investigator Prizes for the best oral and poster presentations, and travel grants from the IAVS
- Two optional workshops: Meet the editors and Introduction to Orthoptera (by Rocco Labadessa)
- Keynote speeches will be given by Alfonso San Miguel, Monika Janišová and Frank Yonghong Li.
The conference sessions will take place from 12 to 15 September 2022 in Tolosa, whilst an optional post-conference tour in the Navarre region will take us from the coast of the Bay of Biscay to the Ebro Valley and the Pyrenees (16–18 September). Both the mid-conference excursion (Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park on 14 September) and the post-conference excursions will take us to regions where species-rich grasslands are still used for agriculture.
