International Association for Vegetation Science

The International Association for Vegetation Science (http://www.iavs.org/) is a bona fide scientific society supporting research in the field of vegetation science, one of the core scientific ecological disciplines. The IAVS is a very active scientific body, organizing usually one (rarely two) general annual meetings, publishing two international journals: Journal of Vegetation Science (Visit) and Applied Vegetation Science (Visit). IAVS also supports several sub-units which pursue the aims of the IAVS on regional level and in specialised working groups.
