[ecoinfo] Special Feature Ecoinformatics and global change

[Jürgen Dengler]

Dear colleagues,

recently, a complete Special Issue of Journal of Vegetation Science on eocinformatics has 
been published, which might be relevant for some of you:

Dengler,J., Ewald, J., Kühn, I., Peet, R. K. (2011) [Eds.]: Ecoinformatics and global change. - 
    J. Veg. Sci. 22: 577-749, Oxford.

You find it under: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jvs.2011.22.issue-4/issuetoc.

One of the 15 articles gives an overview of the globally existent databases with vegetation-
plot data and also argues in favour of adequately rewarding the orgininators and hosts of 
ecological databases:

Dengler,J., Jansen, F., Glöckler, F., Peet, R. K., De Cáceres, M., Chytrý, M., Ewald, J., 
    Oldeland, J., Finckh, M., Lopez-Gonzalez, G., Mucina, L., Rodwell, J. S., Schaminée, J. H. J., 
    Spencer, N. (2011): The Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases (GIVD): a new resource 
    for vegetation science. - J. Veg. Sci. 22: 582-597, Oxford.

All the best,

Jürgen
