A wonderful day celebrating the legacy of Sandro Pignatti. At the end of the event, a tree was planted by the Director of the Botanical Garden of Rome, Prof. Fabio Attorre, in memory of Prof. Pignatti.

The Annual Report of the European Vegetation Survey has been published
Thanks go to Adam Mertel, Ilona Knollová, all the data contributors and the Biodiversa+ grant scheme.
The application has been prepared within the MOTIVATE project (www.motivate-biodiversity.eu): it should motivate vegetation scientists to go to white spots in the map and conduct vegetation surveys or resurveys there.
You can select plots using a filtering form or drawing an area in the map, explore plot metadata and export the list of selected plots with their metadata.
[Note that it can take some time to upload data after the first opening.]
EVA-MAP: www.EVAMAP.eu
We have launched a new online map of vegetation plots available in the European Vegetation Archive (EVA) and the ReSurveyEurope database.
The members of the European Vegetation Survey are warmly welcome to the one-day seminar "Celebrating the Legacy of Sandro Pignatti" in Rome on 21 October.

Beyond his scientific achievements, Professor Pignatti was known for his kindness, generosity, and unwavering support of young scientists. He will be greatly missed.
His profound contributions to botany, vegetation science and ecological research have left an enduring legacy. Among other works, he was the esteemed author of Flora d'Italia, a monumental work that has guided generations of botanists and ecologists.
Under his leadership, this group created what he called a "new spirit of phytosociology", an environment for active and friendly international collaboration in vegetation survey. For many years, he hosted the annual meetings of the European Vegetation Survey in the Botanical Garden of Rome.
Professor Pignatti was a former President of the International Association for Vegetation Science and the founder of the Working Group European Vegetation Survey in 1992.
Dear members of the European Vegetation Survey,
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Professor Sandro Pignatti, a distinguished botanist, vegetation ecologist, and a cherished member of our scientific community.
