SUMMARY: 51st Annual Symposium of the International Association for Vegetation Science
DESCRIPTION: 
                  <p class="bodystyle" align="justify"><strong>The
major aim of our meeting is to extend the interface and to deepen the
cooperation between evolutionary biology and vegetation science.</strong></p>
                  <p class="bodystyle" align="justify"> The title of the meeting – “<strong>Frontiers of Vegetation Science: An Evolutionary Angle</strong>”
– alludes symbolically to the challenges that vegetation science as a
discipline is currently facing. Technologically driven progress in
evolutionary research is changing the face of many traditional
biological sciences. Vegetation science, should (and to some extent
already does) react to this new phase of evolutionary research by
reaching out to ecological disciplines traditionally closer to
evolutionary biology (population biology, palaeo-ecology) and
implementing tools of evolutionary research in explaining structure and
dynamics of vegetation. The field of interaction and cooperation is
enormous and is ripe for exploration and discovery.</p>
