IAVS Regional Sections
 Asian Section
The main goal of the Asia Regional Section is to connect and enhance the collaboration of the researchers of vegetation science investigating Asian vegetation types. Learn More Latin America & the Caribbean
This IAVS regional section was created to promote local, regional and international collaborations between vegetation researchers who are interested in Latin America and the Caribbean. Learn More North America
Our main goals are to increase the participation of North American plant ecologists in IAVS, promote more attendance at annual meetings by our members, and encourage more young scientists to join IAVS North America and participate in meetings. Learn More African Section
Our main goals include to promote research on African vegetation, encourage local, regional and international collaborations between vegetation researchers interested in Africa, increase participation of African vegetation scientists in IAVS, (...). Learn MoreIAVS Working Groups
 Circumboreal Vegetation Map (CBVM)
CBVM will develop a global map of the circumboreal forest biome with a common legend. Learn MoreEcoInformatics
The emerging availability of large quantities of species co-occurrence, site attribute, and taxon attribute data is transforming the study of ecological communities. The IAVS Ecoinformatics group was formed to facilitate the access to and analysis of such data. Learn More Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG)
The Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) is a network of researchers and conservationists interested in Palaearctic natural and semi-natural grasslands. Learn More European Vegetation Survey (EVS)
EVS develops common standards and software for vegetation survey and classification in Europe and beyond, maintains the European Vegetation Archive database and European vegetation classification (...). Learn More Group for Phytosociological Nomenclature (GPN)
The GPN is looking after the International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (ICPN), the management of special categories of phytosociological names (conserved, rejected names), along with the registration of all names. Learn MoreHistorical Vegetation Ecology
The Historical Vegetation Ecology working group constitutes an interdisciplinary network of scientists devoted to the study of plant communities in the broad framework of the past development. Learn MoreVegetation Classification Working Group (VCWG)
The VCWG aims at facilitating communication among plant community ecologists who develop and apply vegetation typologies for any organisational level (…) Learn More Section Young Scientists, IAVS YS
Our main aim is to enhance the connection among young scientists of the IAVS and the rest of the association. We support vegetation scientists at their early career stages and strive for their better visibility in the field. Learn MoreEstablish a new Regional Section or Working Group
