Arbuscular mycorrhiza in Austria
Abstract
Since a number of years research activities on AM in AUSTRIA have been on the increase. Despite of this fact, interactions between researchers active in this field in Austria have so far largely taken place at international scientific meetings. Until now there was no specific platform for scientific exchange on AM research on a national level, as it has been established in other countries. The aim of the meeting is to present the work of the various groups working in the field of AM research in Austria to a national and international audience. The meeting is set to Saturday 23 July, to take advantage of the numerous mycorrhizologists, already present in Vienna due to their participation at the International Botanical Congress (IBC Vienna 2005). We hope that the interactions between the national and international researchers will provide a stimulus for further research activities and maybe trigger collaborations both at a national and international level.
