Hi, we are the Geobotany group at the MLU Halle. We are interested in everything that has to do with plants 🪴, especially plant ecology, biogeography, invasion biology, BEF relationships and plant-soil interactions. Stay tuned and find out about our latest publications, excursions and other updates.

Interesting survey on plant attractiveness - check it out!

Thank you for your interest! This is primarily a research expedition, and all participants are expected to actively contribute to vegetation and biodiversity sampling. More details about the criteria and how to apply will be published in February.

Save the date! 21st EDGG Field Workshop:
Diversity of Grasslands and Open Habitats in the Turku Archipelago (Finland) 🌿
🗓️ 28 June – 6 July 2025

Specialists in vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens, insects, spiders, etc., are welcome!

🔗 Details: edgg.org/fieldworksho...
Application opens in March

Extinction of experience among ecologists Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Where are all the field studies?

This ⬇️ important but rather depressing paper describes how conducting, & crucially initiating, field studies is becoming harder & rarer.
