A reminder! Great opportunity for meeting and disscussing nowadays scientific questions about the Anthropocen! 🕓 We are pleased to announce the call for abstracts for the first Białowieża Ecology Conference (BEC2024), entitled "Temperate Forests in the Anthropocene: Disturbances, Species, Humans, and Ecosystem Functioning". It will take place from September, 15-20th, 2024 in the pristine beauty of Europe's last primeval forest in Białowieża. 🔔 Key date: abstract submission deadline: April 30th, 2024 Conference Theme and Scope: The Białowieża Ecology Conference is a series of international scientific conferences that aim to gather a better understanding of temperate forest ecosystems it takes place in the heart of Europe’s last primeval lowland forest, Białowieża, Poland. This year, 2024 marks the first edition, entitled “Temperate Forests in the Anthropocene: disturbances, species, humans and ecosystem functioning”. The goal of the conference is to exchange and summarize knowledge in the fields of forest ecology and conservation biology, connect researchers working in a variety of scientific fields, and discuss practical solutions for more sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation in a context of global change. A multitude of research topics are included in this conference to cross-fertilize approaches that yield a better understanding of temperate forests in socio-ecological contexts. ⏩ For a more detailed description and submission guidelines, please visit: https://lnkd.in/d9_2yBae We welcome submissions on topics including, but not limited to: - Human-Forest Interactions - Human-Wildlife Interactions - Invasive Species - Physical Barriers in Forests - Climate Change and Disturbance Regimes - Conservation Biology and Ecosystem Functioning Why participate? 🌲 Interesting workshops. 🌲 Visit to the Białowieża Primeval Forest with experienced guides. 🌲 Post-conference trip to Biebrza National Park.  🌲 Share your research with an international audience of peers. 🌲 Engage with key stakeholders in forest ecology, conservation, and management. 🌲 Participate in a range of workshops, seminars, and excursions designed to enhance your knowledge and skills. 🌲 Contribute to shaping the future of temperate forest research and policy.
