摘要:InternationalMoorExcursion(IME;http://www.botany.un ibe.ch/imoorex) is an annual scientific symposium with a long tradition. The conference has been organized con- tinuously for 42 years, initiated and conveyed by Palaeoe- cology Group of the University of Bern (Switzerland) in cooperation with local organisers. The underlying aim is to discuss recent palaeoecological records from a chosen region together with palaeoecologists from different parts of the world. During the field excursion, recently studied peatlands and lakes are visited and the results of inves- tigations are presented and discussed. Discussion and feedback is really important for the organizers and their future studies.
