Trois chercheurs de l’unité (Déborah Closset-Kopp, Tarek Hattab et Guillaume Decocq) ont participé au 58th Annual Symposium of the International Association for Vegetation Science (IAVS) à Brno (République tchèque) du 19 au 24 juillet 2015 (www.iavs2015.cz). A cette occasion, 6 communications orales et 2 posters ont été présentés :

– Walk on the wild side… seeking focal species in hedgerows to evaluate their forest corridor function (Closset-Kopp et al.)

– Local environmental conditions override microclimatic factors in explaining plant species diversity of forest fragments across the European temperate biome (Valdès et al.)

– Modeling of habitat suitability and population dynamics of an invasive plant with advanced remote sensing data (Hattab et al.)

– Drivers of temporal changes in temperate forest plant diversity vary among spatial scales (Bernhardt-Römermann et al.)

– Niche breadth estimates derived from species co-occurrence and geographic distribution: how well do they match across spatial scales? (Kambach et al.)

– Acido- and neutrophilic temperate forest plants display distinct ecological niche shifts across north-western Europe (Naaf et al.)

POSTERS:

– Mapping of invasive plant species on the island of Sylt using hyper spectral data (Skowronek et al.)

– Siliceous alpine grasslands in Europe (Sibik et al.)
