[Postponed] AnaEE Conference 2022

Update 10/05/2022: Due to internal organisation, the AnaEE Conference 2022 is postponed. Apologies for the inconvenience. Nevertheless, we hope to see you soon to discuss about experimental ecology!

The first AnaEE Conference, organized in collaboration with Czech Globe and Czech University of Life Science, will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, from 27 to 30 June, 2022. The AnaEE Conference 2022 theme “Ecosystems services under pressure: the role of experimentation”.

Ecosystems services are crucial for society and human welfare. It is essential to protect ecosystem functioning in order to mitigate the challenges of the Anthropocene. Novel management strategies are needed to secure biodiversity, promote greenhouse gas reduction and carbon sequestration, ensure drinking water quality and quantity, and sustain or develop food production. Experimentation and modelling are of uttermost importance to understand the functioning of ecosystems and their behaviour under anthropogenic pressures such as climate change, pollution, land use and management practices.
 

The goals of the AnaEE Conference 2022 are to discuss the role of agriculture, forests and natural ecosystems in reducing GHG emissions and increasing carbon sequestration, as well as to discuss the importance of holistic approaches that integrate across ecosystem boundaries spanning from terrestrial to freshwater ecosystems. A stakeholder session will be held to summarize the outcomes of the conference and initiate a discussion aimed at policy makers, practitioners, farmers and industry, as well as other related scientific communities, to leverage the added value of the AnaEE infrastructure and find answers to the most pressing ecosystem challenges. At the end of the conference, a full day will be devoted to an internal AnaEE business meeting, and training for platform managers and other interested parties.
