International Conference on Biodiversity at the Ecosystem Level - Patterns & Processes

Biodiversity at the Ecosystem Level - Patterns & Processes
 
In Aarhus, Denmark, April 26-27, 2006
 
The main purpose of the conference is to present an overview of
contemporary research related to ecosystem level biodiversity, and to
help formulate a GBIF strategy for dealing with biodiversity above the
species and molecular levels.
 
We encourage you to explore the scope and content of the conference at:

The website also provides practical information, an invitation to
contribute with posters, and it presents the international expert
speakers and a detailed programme which includes the following main
sessions:
- Definitions and relevance of biodiversity at the ecosystem level
- Classification and quantification of ecosystem level biodiversity

We see this conference as an important contribution to the future work
of GBIF, and sincerely hope you will be able to participate and
