Netherlands Annual Ecology
Meeting (9 - 10 February 2010)
The Netherlands
The Netherlands Annual Ecology Meeting is a two-day event
organised by NERN and NECOV (Dutch - Flemish Ecological Society) and
supported by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).
The set-up of the 2010 meeting is in accordance with previous years,
which were a great success with over 300 participants. Each day
starts with a plenary session in which a Dutch and an international
world leader present their view on a specific topic in ecology.
Accordingly, parallel sessions will be held covering the wide field
of ecology. The session topics listed this year have been selected
by an organising committee (Jacintha Ellers (VU), Rampal Ettienne
(RUG), Lourens Poorter (WU, Martijn Egas (UVA), Wolf Mooij (NIOO),
Nicole van Dam (NIOO/RU, Chair) and Jaap van der Meer (NIOZ)), who
also approached the conveners of the sessions. The programme below
lists the session topics, the conveners and the highlights
indicating the focal area of the session. Besides oral
presentations, time will be reserved for poster sessions and
discussion. For more information please click

International Conference on Balanced Nutrient Management for
Tropical Agriculture, Pahang, Malaysia 12
- 16th April 2010. Balanced plant nutrition is an integrated
approach to meet the nutritional needs of the crop throughout its
life cycle. In the current scenario of high input costs for
agriculture production, issues on methods of achieving balance
between the nutrient requirements of plants and the nutrients
reserves in soils for maintaining high yields and soil fertility,
preventing environmental contamination and degradation and
sustaining agricultural production over the long term will have to
be discussed. Thus this conference will be a platform for interested
stakeholders to present their latest R&D findings, innovations and
ideas on issues on balanced nutrients for tropical agriculture. This
agenda will encompass issues on sustainable nutrient management for
crop production, environmental management and socio-economic issues.

Biology of the Ecological Society of Germany, Switzerland and
Austria (GfÖ) "Plant Population Biology: Crossing Borders",
(13-15 May 2010) Nijmegen, The
Netherlands - this year organized by Dutch ecologists. The PopBio
meeting is a medium-sized international meeting that has become an
exciting forum for scientific exchange among plant population
biologists. This year, it will take place in Nijmegen, the oldest
city of the Netherlands. We will offer two and a half days of
interesting talks and posters, great keynote speakers, a conference
dinner, and an excursion. Online registration will be possible after

ECSA 47 Symposium (14 to
19 of September 2010) Figueira da Foz, PortugalOrganizes:
IMAR – Institute of Marine Research, University of Coimbra, and the
Centre of Oceanography, University of Lisbon. This
International Symposium will focus on Integrative tools and methods
in assessing ecological quality in estuarine and coastal systems
worldwide. Presently, this is among the most important
ecological subjects on debate. However, despite the increasing
attention that has been paid to the development of tools for
different physicochemical or biological elements, very few
methodologies integrate them when evaluating ecosystems condition.
The development of such integrative tools is therefore of major
importance, both from a scientific and stakeholder points of view,
and must take into account the multidisciplinarity of the problems
involved. The ECSA 47 Symposium will
contribute to provide an overview of the current situation through
examples from each of the continents. Moreover, the organizers aim
at contributing to bring together, in a proper setting, science,
management and decision making. For registration, abstract
submission, and all the information regarding ECSA 47 please click
