The traditional conference of the Czech Botanical Society took place during the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of November. This year's theme was research abroad. As you may already know from our webpage, we are active not only in the Czech Republic but also conduct sampling in various other countries.
Klára Řehounková and Anička Müllerová presented our research on vegetation succession on the lava flows of the Icelandic volcano Hekla, carried out in 2022. We were able to describe the successional development of vegetation over the past approximately 800 years and found that vascular plants established within the first 50 years, that is earlier than usually reported. The second talk was given by Karel Prach who summarized succession on a global scale.
