International Workshop “Approaches in Wetland Restoration”, 22-24 April 2013, Warsaw, Poland

The focus of this workshop will be on the restoration of mires and specifically fens, but other, functionally interrelated wetland types may be included as well. The organisers aim to review synergies and trade-offs between various targets and approaches to the restoration of this group of ecosystems. Plant vs. bird diversity, carbon sink function vs. species richness, cultural landscapes vs. natural ecosystem resilience – these are some of the main points of the foreseen discussions. The discussions will be structured aroundlectures by invited speakers, whereas contributions on case studies are invited to be presented as posters and short communications and can be published as extended abstract.
