International symposium on aquatic vascular plants: 25 years after
(Brussels 11-14 January 2006)
On 11-14 Januari 2006, an International Symposium on Aquatic Vascular Plants will be organised again at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, 25 years after its first edition. The aim is to bring together aquatic plant scientists and ecologists from all over the world, with emphasis on the following topics:
Molecular phylogeny and evolution
Phylogeography and patterns of distribution
Molecular ecology of populations
Survival strategies, dispersal and establishment
Autoecology and relationships with environment
Vegetation analysis and remote sensing applications
Biotic interactions and stable isotope applications
Original contributions on aquatic vascular plants from freshwater, brackish water and coastal zones are welcomed. New insights using DNA, stable isotopes, remote sensing, modelling etc. are envisaged
25 years ago on 23-25 January 1981, an International Colloquium on Aquatic Vascular Plants was held in Brussels. The colloquium was attended by 140 plant scientists and ecologists from 15 countries and 70 presentations were scheduled. The topics covered at that time were pollination mechanisms, morphological variation and development, cytology, photosynthesis, growth and reproductive strategies, primary production, nutrient cycling, decomposition, community analysis, distribution, conservation, introductions and weeds.
