This report summarizes the activities and achievements of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) from mid-2016 through to the end of 2017. During this period, the 13th Eurasian Grassland Conference took place in Sighişoara, Romania, and the 14th conference was held in Riga, Latvia. The 10th EDGG Field Workshop on Biodiversity patterns across a precipitation gradient in the Central Apennine mountains was conducted in the Central Apennines, Italy, this time in addition to multi-scale sampling of vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens, also including one animal group (leaf hoppers). Apart from the quarterly issues of its own electronic journal (Bulletin of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group), EDGG also finalised five grassland-related Special Features/Issues during the past 1.5 years in the following international journals: Applied Vegetation Science, Biodiversity and Conservation, Phytocoenologia, Tuexenia and Hacquetia. Beyond that, EDGG facilitated various national and supra-national vegetationplot databases of grasslands and established its own specialised database for standardised multi-scale plot data of Palaearctic grasslands (GrassPlot).

The Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) in 2018–2019 Dengler, Juergen; Aleksanyan, Alla; Ambarlı, Didem; Biurrun, Idoia; Dembicz, Iwona; Kuzemko, Anna; Török, Péter; Venn, Stephen; Vrahnakis, Michael (2019-12-01) This report summarises the activities and achievements of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) from January 2018 through July 2019. During the reported period, two Eurasian Grassland Conference (EGCs) took place: the 15th EGC in Sulmona, Italy, and the 16th EGC in Graz, Austria. The 11th and 12th EDGG Field Workshops studied vegetation diversity patterns in the inner alpine valleys of Austria and Switzerland, while the 13th Field Workshop was organised in Armenia. The formerly electronic newsletter of ED...
The Integrated lake basin management planning : a study on the Beyşehir Lake basin Altay, Ezgi; Gedikli, Bahar; Department of City and Regional Planning (2012) This study aims at elaborating the Integrated Lake Basin Management Planning (ILBM) approach, which is considered as a sustainable management model for lake basins, and evaluating the applicability of this approach in Turkey. ILBM considers both biophysical features and managerial requirements of lake basin systems. It pays attention to inherent dynamics between humans and nature. ILBM has been developed on the basis of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), which seeks the wise use of water; i.e. us...
The impact of climate change on sea level rise at Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah-Sarawak Ercan, Ali; Bin Mohamad, Mohd Fauzi; Kavvas, M. Levent (2013-01-01) The sea level change along the Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah-Sarawak coastlines for the 21st century is investigated along the coastal areas of Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah-Sarawak because of the expected climate change during the 21st century. The spatial variation of the sea level change is estimated by assimilating the global mean sea level projections from the Atmosphere-Ocean coupled Global Climate Model/General Circulation Model (AOGCM) simulations to the satellite altimeter observations along the su...
A Comprehensive Study to Define Local Site Effects in Northern Ankara Turkey Eker, Arif Mert; Akgün, Haluk; Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem (null; 2013-05-31) The study is mainly focused on the dynamic soil characterization and determination of site effects for the PlioQuaternary and especially alluvial soils of the Çubuk district and its close vicinity in Ankara. It was observed that the shear wave velocity values for the uppermost 30 meter of the soil profile is not adequate to classify the sites properly and these values could not be correlated with the H/V results obtained from the microtremor records due to the great thicknesses of the soft sediments. The hi...
Determination of limited nutrients in the Turkish coastal waters of the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas Tüfekçi, V; Kuzkaya, E; Tüfekçi, H; Avaz, G; Tuğrul, Süleyman (2013-01-01) Increased human activities, rapid and uncontrolled industrial development, intensive urbanization have polluted and hence drastically modified the Turkish coastal water ecosystem of North East (NE) Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. Assessments of nutrient budgets and limiting nutrients in aquatic systems are of wide interest because of their fundamental importance in understanding carbon fixation, coastal eutrophication and wastewater management. In this study, the relative importance of nitrogen and phosphoru...
