AnaEE-ERIC’s 2nd International Science Conference brings together researchers and policymakers to tackle critical ecosystem challenges through 7 thematic sessions featuring distinguished speakers listed below. The conference spans experimental approaches to global change ecology, forest and agricultural resilience, aquatic-terrestrial interactions, and innovative data integration methods.
Webinar: Forest Microbiomes and Ecosystem Resilience
September 17 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Webinar by British Ecological Society: explore how microbial communities in trees, bark, roots, and soils contribute to forest health, ecosystem functioning, climate regulation, and resilience.
As forests face increasing pressures from climate change, emerging diseases, drought, and habitat degradation, understanding these microbial communities is becoming increasingly important for sustaining healthy and resilient forests.
The webinar is part of International Microorganism Day (IMD), a global celebration held annually on 17 September to recognise the tiny but mighty organisms that shape our world. Led by the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS), IMD highlights the important roles microorganisms play in health, food, the environment, and everyday life.
The Forest Ecology SIG webinar has been included in the official IMD 2026 events programme for the United Kingdom.
