The 6th EDGG-edited Special Feature in Hacquetia is published


The sixth Special Feature edited by Eurasian Dry Grassland Group, alias EDGG (eds. Orsolya Valkó, Stephen Venn and Rocco Labadessa) in the journal Hacquetia has recently been published.

The issue is available online at the Journal's homepage.

The special feature is part of the jubilar 20th issue of the journal Hacquetia (Šilc & Čarni 2021). Hacquetia is a journal of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences. It is a diamond open access journal, which means that the contents are freely available for everybody and there is no publication fee. Both in the regular issue, and in the special issue, there are several interesting papers in the volumes.

The current special feature was initiated by members of the EDGG attending the 16th Eurasian Grassland Conference (EGC) in Graz, Austria in 2019. The papers in this special feature cover a wide range of grassland ecosystems from montane rocky grasslands to lowland sandy grasslands, feathergrass steppes and meadows steppes, and focus on the biodiversity and conservation issues of Palaearctic grasslands. We hope that this article collection will contribute to a better understanding of the ecology of grasslands and support their more effective conservation. The special issue contains five research papers from Slovenia (Čarni et al. 2021), Hungary (Kenyeres et al. 2021, Penksza et al. 2021) and Ukraine (Lysenko et al. 2021, Polchaninova et al. 2021). The Special Feature also includes a report of the EDGG activities in 2019 and 2020 (Dengler et al. 2021) and an editorial paper (Valkó et al. 2021).
