Dear colleagues,
there will be again a palaeoecology-symposium at this years EURECO-Gfoe
conference in Leipzig, September 15-19 (see attached call for
abstracts, webpage: www.eureco-gfoe2008.ufz.de/
Palaeoecology: biodiversity through time
Each modern ecosystem has its unique history, and knowing this history
is essential to understanding it. In addition, quantifying the rates
and magnitude of reactions of ecosystems and their components to
climate change and anthropogenic impact in the past will aid in
projecting future scenarios. In this way, palaeoecology can bridge the
past, present and future. It can assist decision makers in managing
nature projects and can help to find world wide strategies to deal with
the ongoing global change. This symposium will showcase the wide range
of disciplines associated with palaeoecology (e.g. palaeobotany,
palaeozoology, palynology, genetics, archaeology, geochemistry, soil
sciences). All palaeoecological studies that contribute to a holistic
understanding of biodiversity and ecosystems through time and from any
part of the world are welcome. Particularly encouraged are
interdisciplinary studies as well as those that quantify processes that
have caused changes in the past.
Convenors: Norbert Kühl, Frank Schlütz, Oliver Nelle, Hermann Behling.
Looking forward to seeing you,
Frank Schlütz
