| Description | We introduce a series of articles devoted to the classification of European grasslands that will appear as a Virtual Special Feature (VSF). ‘Virtual’ means that each paper accepted for this Special Feature will be published separately in a standard journal issue, but when the last paper is published, all of them will be presented as a single Special Feature on the journal’s website, together with a synthesis-and-outlook paper. This VSF is a joint initiative of two Working Groups of the International Association for Vegetation Science: the European Dry Grassland Group (EDGG; www.edgg.org) and the European Vegetation Survey (EVS; www.euroveg.org). By organizing this VSF, we want to (1) initiate the preparation and publication of international classifications for European grasslands and (2) stimulate the necessary methodological developments for producing such studies. |
