Introduction
The EDGG Field Workshops are research expeditions dedicated to the acquisition of high-quality data on Palaearctic non-forest vegetation types, following a standardized methodology (Dengler et al. 2016). Participants will engage in vegetation-plot sampling, documenting all encountered vascular plant, bryophyte, and lichen species, as well as key structural and environmental parameters. The sampling includes two types of plots: standard 10 m² vegetation plots and "EDGG biodiversity plots", which are nested-plot series with grain sizes ranging from 1 cm² to 100 m², and occasionally up to 1000 m². Some workshops also involve sampling of other taxa, such as orthopterans, leafhoppers, spiders, butterflies, and more, providing a broader ecological perspective. These standardized workshops generate high-quality biodiversity data alongside in situ environmental and structural data, which is fed into the GrassPlot database (Dengler et al. 2018). Since 2009, when EDGG Field Workshops were launched, the data collected during such expeditions was used for numerous publications on biodiversity patterns and drivers, discovering new species for studied regions, exploring syntaxonomical patterns, etc. (Turtureanu et al. 2014, Kuzemko et al. 2016, García-Mijangos et al. 2021, Moysiyenko et al. 2021, Bergauer et al. 2022, Cancellieri et al. 2024, Guarino et al. 2024, Khodosovtsev et al. 2024, Vynokurov et al. 2024, and others).
In 2025, two EDGG Field Workshops will take place: 20th EDGG Field Workshop “Dry Grasslands of the Maritime and Ligurian Alps” (28 May – 5 June 2025), and 21st EDGG Field Workshop “Diversity of Grasslands and Open Habitats in the Turku Archipelago” (28 June – 6 July 2025).
20th EDGG Field Workshop: Dry Grasslands of the Maritime and Ligurian Alps (Italy)
28 May – 6 June 2025
The 20th EDGG Field Workshop will take place in the south-westernmost part of the Alps, covering the Italian Maritime and Cottian Alps (Valle Maira, Valle Stura, Valle Gesso) and the Ligurian Alps (Valle Tanaro). This workshop continues the series of EDGG Field Workshops dedicated to the dry grasslands of the Alpine Arc, following successful expeditions in:
-
11th Field Workshop (2018) – Austria, Eastern Alps (Magnes et al. 2021)
-
12th Field Workshop (2019) – Switzerland, Central Alps (Bergauer et al. 2022)
-
17th Field Workshop (2023) – NE Italy & Switzerland, Southeastern Alps (Angelini et al. 2024)
-
18th Field Workshop (2024) – Italy & France, Southwestern Alps (Klopsch et al. 2025; Terracina et al. 2025)
-
19th Field Workshop (2024) – Switzerland, Ticino Region (Dengler et al. 2024)
This year’s workshop aims to finalize this series, complementing the already comprehensive dataset with data from this unique region, where Mediterranean and Temperate influences converge, shaping a diverse mosaic of dry grassland communities and presenting several grassland types absent in other areas of the Alps.

The 20th Field Workshop will focus on sampling the most southwestern part of the Alps, specifically in the Italian Maritime and Cottian Alps (Maira and Grana Valley, Stura Valley, Gesso Valley) and the Ligurian Alps (Tanaro Valley) (Figs. 1, 2, 3). These valleys vary in size, ranging from 359 km² (Gesso Valley) to 739 km² (Maira Valley), with annual temperatures between -4 °C and 13 °C, and annual precipitation (both rain and snow) from 726 mm to 1790 mm. The highest altitude in these areas reaches 3,314 m a.s.l. at the Chambeyron Group, in the upper part of the Maira Valley and on the border with France. Other relevant mountains belong to the Argentera massif, in the Gesso Valley, above 3,200 m a.s.l.
Situated in the most southwestern part of the Alps, the Maritime and Ligurian Alps are home to the most thermophilic refuge areas, leading to exceptional plant diversity and a high rate of endemic species. Their lower latitude and proximity to the Mediterranean Sea contribute to the presence of numerous Mediterranean species, some of which survived the glaciation periods, while others colonized the region afterward. The high endemicity rate is also due to the high geological diversity. Gneiss and granite are dominant in the higher Maritime Alps and lower Cottian Alps, while the higher peaks of the Ligurian and Cottian Alps and the lower parts of the Maritime Alps have carbonatic rocks, mostly limestone and calc-schists. Also, ultramafic rocks can be frequently found in the Cottian Alps.

Figure 2. Map with approximate locations of the 20th EDGG Field Workshop in Italy (28 May – 6 June 2025).
Relevant endemic species found in dry grasslands include: Brassica repanda, Campanula bertolae, Erysimum burnatii, Euphorbia valliniana, Galeopsis reuteri, Gentiana ligustica, Jovibarba allionii, Knautia mollis, and Potentilla valderia.
The workshop will focus on sampling dry grasslands and sub-Mediterranean scrub communities in various habitats, predominantly on limestone but also on dry siliceous substrates. The sampling sites will include mesoxeric and xeric grasslands dominated by Bromopsis erecta and Stipa pennata aggr. (habitat 6210*), sub-Mediterranean scrub with Genista cinerea (potentially habitat 5330), and screes with Achnatherum calamagrostis (habitat 8130).
Given that phytosociological studies in the Italian Maritime Alps are outdated, one of the workshop's objectives is to revise some complex transitional units traditionally placed in the classes Festuco-Brometea, Thlaspietea rotundifolii, Sedo-Scleranthetea, and Festuco-Ononidetea.

21st EDGG Field Workshop: Diversity of Grasslands and Open Habitats in the Turku Archipelago (Finland)
28 June – 6 July 2025
The 21st EDGG Field Workshop will be the first ever held in Northern Europe. We will use the standardized, high-quality vegetation-plot sampling of EDGG (Dengler et al. 2016) to record vegetation composition, structural and environmental parameters across various open habitats in the Finnish Archipelago. Sampling will include standard 10-m² plots as well as nested-plot series (ranging from 1 cm² to 100 or 1000 m², “EDGG Biodiversity Plots”) for vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens, with the possibility of incorporating additional taxonomic groups (e.g., insects or other invertebrates).
In addition to collecting grassland data from a region that is new for EDGG, our main goal is to contribute to the establishment of a long-term monitoring system for open habitats in the Finnish Archipelago, in collaboration with local organizers. This effort will create a valuable reference for tracking environmental changes and understanding habitat evolution over time. The collected data will be contributed to the GrassPlot database (Dengler et al. 2018) and serve as the basis for one or several scientific publications, as has been done in previous EDGG Field Workshops (for example, the recent ones: Bergauer et al. 2022; Cancellieri et al. 2024; Guarino et al. 2024; Khodosovtsev et al. 2024; Vyno-kurov et al. 2024).
This Field Workshop is organized prior to the European Grassland Conference (EGC), which will take place immedi-ately afterwards in Oulu, Finland, from 7–10 July 2025. This timing allows participants to combine the fieldwork with scientific discussions and networking at the conference.

Study area
The Field Workshop will take place at the Archipelago Sea in southwestern Finland. The Archipelago Sea is one of the world's largest archipelagos by island count, forming a unique mosaic of water and islands. It is a biosphere re-serve, and area for tens of Natura2000 sites (Skärgårdshavets Biosfärområde – Saaristomeren bi-osfäärialue). The southern part of the archipelago is a National park. Its marine areas are divided into three distinct zones based on environmental conditions:
- Inner Archipelago: Typically consists of large, forested islands separated by narrow straits, although wide bays and some bare islets also occur.
- Intermediate Archipelago: Features islands that are relatively close together, facilitating species dispersal due to short distances and sheltered conditions.
- Outer Archipelago: Dominated by the sea, with smaller islands surrounded by larger expanses of water. These habitats are exposed to wind, waves, saltwater spray, ice erosion, and strong sunlight, resulting in predominantly open and semi-open conditions with few forests.
The mineral soil areas of the islands in the Archipelago Sea have gradually risen from the sea over the past 1,000 years. All large islands with sufficiently nutrient-rich soil have been inhabited and used for agriculture from the Middle Ages until the 20th century. On these islands, land was converted into meadows as soon as it emerged due to land uplift. Beyond medieval settlements, a period of tenant farming and a population boom 100–200 years ago further expanded human activity, creating traditional landscapes on smaller islands in the outer archipelago. Additionally, the fishing culture has influenced vegetation patterns, particularly around fishing huts. Today, the grassland network of the Archipelago Sea is one of the most ecologically significant in Finland (Raatikainen et al. 2017). Traditionally used for grazing or mowing, grasslands are nowadays at different stages of succession, depending on when grazing ceased or was reintroduced.
Figure 5. Dry grasslands on Berghamn Island. Photo: M. Mussaari.
The most prominent open habitats in the Archipelago Sea include the following types:
Heaths: Occur in the archipelago and coastal areas, where traditional cattle farming – with regular burning and grazing – has played a crucial role in their formation and maintenance. Heaths are classified into three types: dwarf shrub heaths, small grass heaths, and grass heaths. Typical species include Empetrum nigrum, Calluna vulgaris, Vaccinium myrtillus, and Vaccinium vitis-idaea. These communities develop on various nutrient-poor soils, including rocky, gravelly, sandy, and moraine substrates, as well as thin mineral soils.
Calcareous thermophilous meadows: Found on calcium-rich soils, often on rocky slopes or valley edges, these meadows are highly species-diverse (Fig. 5). Characteristic species include Briza media, Origanum vulgare, Filipendula vulgaris, Silene nutans, and indicator mosses such as Homalothecium lutescens. This habitat type is rare and considered critically endangered due to a dramatic decline in area over recent decades.
Acidic herb-rich dry meadows: Occurring on non-calcareous, nutrient-poor soils, these small patches are dominated by low herbaceous plants rather than grasses. Typically found on sunny slopes or near large stones in pasture areas, representative species include Campanula rotundifolia, Pilosella officinarum, Dianthus deltoides, and Galium verum. These meadows are rare and highly sensitive to encroachment and eutrophication.
Mesic meadows: These species-rich habitats develop on mineral soils with intermediate moisture levels. Historically maintained by grazing or mowing, mesic meadows support a diverse range of herbaceous species and contribute significantly to biodiversity. They typically form on unmodified soils and may represent former forest clearings or drained swamps.
Wooded meadows. Wooded meadows are areas with regularly mown natural herbaceous vegetation and scattered trees and shrubs (Fig. 6). In the Finnish Archipelago, they were historically formed and maintained due to their importance for fodder production in the region’s harsh conditions. Fodder was collected not only from the meadows but also from the trees, making these habitat complexes particularly valuable for traditional agriculture. These meadows typically developed in the most productive areas, often on calcareous soils, and are highly diverse in the Finnish context. Characteristic species include Primula veris, Melampyrum cristatum, Geranium sanguineum, Filipendula vulgaris, and Dactylorhiza sambucina.
In addition to the grassland types described above, there are other, less frequent habitat types scattered across the islands, often occupying small areas. These include rocky outcrops, wet grasslands and fens, as well as brackish salt marshes. If suitable sites are available, these habitats may also be included in our sampling. The diverse environmental conditions and long history of both natural processes (such as land uplift and marine exposure) and human land use in the Finnish Archipelago have created a rich mosaic of open habitats. This landscape provides an excellent setting for long-term ecological monitoring and research into the factors shaping these unique vegetation communities.
Our sampling sites:
- Örö and Hiittinen. Esker islands in the outer archipelago. Örö is a former military island, while Hiittinen is still an inhabited village island. These islands feature heathlands, dry grasslands, shore meadows, and rocky areas, primarily on acidic soils.
- Seili. An island with a deep history, having served as a leprosy and mental hospital before becoming a research site for forestry. Today, it is a conservation area with a research station. The island has meadows, former fields, dry grasslands, and shore meadows, primarily on acidic soils.
- Berghamn Village: Boskär and Berghamn. A group of rocky islands in the outer archipelago with a history of land management spanning over 40 years. This area contains diverse grasslands and one of Finland’s rare well-managed wooded meadows. Historically, the villagers of Berghamn collected fodder from surrounding islands. The soils here are calcareous.

How to apply?
To apply for participation, please submit a motivation letter (about 200 words) to the Field Workshop coordinators, Denys Vynokurov (denys.vynokurov@gmail.com) and Jürgen Dengler (dr.juergen.dengler@gmail.com), with the subject line “EDGG Field Workshop”. In the letter, explain why you are interested in participating and how you plan to contribute to the success of the workshop, both during and after the event. We expect all participants to contribute equally to sampling, plant determination, sample processing, data postprocessing, and related tasks. In general, only EDGG members can participate in EDGG Field Workshops. However, non-members who apply will be considered for free membership in the EDGG.
The application deadline is 21 March 2025 (Friday, 24:00). Confirmation of participation and the results of travel grant applications will be provided no later than 15 April 2025. If the number of applications exceeds available places, participants will be selected on the basis of their motivation and the competences they offer.
In the case of oversubscription, we may offer an option of participation in the first Field Workshop (Maritime and Ligurian Alps, Italy, 28 May – 5 June 2025), if places are still available. Please indicate in your registration whether you would be interested to participate in the second workshop instead, in this case. Preference will be given to those who are able to identify bryophytes and lichens or analyze the collected soils.
For those who have already participated in at least three EDGG Field Workshops, the motivation letter is not required. Along with your motivation letter, please include the following information in your application email:
- Name
- Age
- Professional status (e.g., PhD student, postdoc, professor, unemployed)
- Affiliation
- Address
- Mobile phone number (for contact purposes, e.g., if you get lost in the field)
- Dietary requirements (no/vegetarian/other: please specify)
- Request to join EDGG (if you are not already a member)
- Travel grant application (Yes/No)
- Willingness to participate in the second Field Workshop (Maritime and Ligurian Alps, Italy, 28 May – 5 June 2025) in case of oversubscription.
Experts in other taxonomic groups, such as grasshoppers, leafhoppers, spiders, butterflies, fungi, or soil meta-genomics, are also welcome to apply if they are willing and able to carry out sampling that allows for joint analysis with vegetation diversity data. Such applicants are asked to discuss the potential sampling design with the Field Workshop coordinators, Denys Vynokurov and Jürgen Dengler, prior to applying.
Travel grants:
A limited number of travel grants (approximately 1750 EUR in total) will be available, provided by our parent organisation, IAVS, exclusively for IAVS members in 2025. Priority for travel grants will be given to the following groups: a) Students and applicants from low-income countries b) Active participants of previous Field Workshops c) Individuals who have agreed to organize future Field Workshops or contribute additional expertise, such as soil analysis, or the sampling and identification of taxonomic groups other than vascular plants.
The final decision on grant allocation will depend on the combination of these factors. The amount awarded to each grantee is not fixed; it will be based on the available funds, the demonstrated need of the applicant, and their relevance to the success of the Field Workshop. Due to the limited funds, travel grants will most likely cover only part of the registration fee. In exceptional cases, they may also cover travel expenses to attend the event.
IAVS grantees are required to actively contribute to the success of the Field Workshop, both during and after the event. Post-Field Workshop tasks typically include data entry, sample analysis, and the identification of plant specimens. Failure to fulfill these responsibilities may result in ineligibility for future travel grants for EDGG events.
