International workshop on Agrosystem Services 17.02.2014 - 18.2.2014

Place: Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), Müncheberg (near Berlin), Germany. An international workshop on Agrosystem Services will be held from 17 - 18 February 2014 at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) e.V. in Müncheberg (near Berlin),Germany. The workshop is organised in co-operation with the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP), the International Association for Landscape Ecology (IALE) and the LEGATO project. The workshop is an attempt to work out concepts for new agricultural systems that aim to integrate the supply of multiple Agrosystem Services in the agricultural biomass production but at the same time, maintaining long-term ecosystem functioning and biodiversity. The organizers would like to encourage looking at new approaches for agricultural feedstock. Who will use agricultural biomass in the future and which necessities should the biomass accomplish for them? Additionally, the workshop aims at pointing out the impact of rising biomass demand on the vulnerability of agricultural systems. New ideas on balancing provisioning and nonprovisioning services in agricultural production will complement the workshop. Scientists working on one of these topics who would like to present their work are invited to submit an abstract for a talk or a poster until November 15, 2013 to Franka.Papendiek@zalf.de.
