acta societatis botanicorum poloniae - LV Zjazd Polskiego ...

Preface
The first meeting of the founders of the Polish Botanical Society took place in 1922 in the Botany Department of Warsaw University
in Warsaw, Poland. Today, eighty eight years later The Warsaw Division is honored to be able to organize the LV Meeting and to host
the top Polish botanists. The participants of 13 sections will meet and work together during the upcoming five days. The field sessions
will provide the opportunity for a lot of us to learn more about most beautiful scenery in the north-eastern part of Poland.
Many times earlier the organizers of particular sections of conferences presented the output of their meetings in both Polish and English.
Now, it is time to use both languages for all the Society sections. We would like to introduce the English version of almost three
hundred and seventy titles of various presentations comprising the scientific achievements of Polish botany. Almost five hundred
authors participating in the LV Conference will present their work.
I do hope that contributors will emphasize the important aspects of recent research concerning the biology of plants, as well as plants
in the environment.
According to the decision of the Management Committee, the Abstracts of the LV Conference are being published for the very first
time in the best Polish botanical journal “Acta Societaties Botanicorum Poloniae”. May this decision help make the Journal more well
known and popular among the younger generation of Polish Botanists and improve the international ranking of the Journal.
