“…This report provides an overview of the activities and achievements of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG; http://www.edgg.org) since the last such report (Venn et al 2016), that is, from mid-2016 to the end of 2017. The EDGG is a network of researchers and conservation practitioners interested in any type of natural and semi-natural grasslands of the Palaearctic biogeographic realm.…”

This report summarizes the activities and achievements of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group (EDGG) from mid-2016 through to the end of 2017. During this period, the 13th Eurasian Grassland Conference took place in Sighişoara, Romania, and the 14th conference was held in Riga, Latvia. The 10th EDGG Field Workshop on Biodiversity patterns across a precipitation gradient in the Central Apennine mountains was conducted in the Central Apennines, Italy, this time in addition to multi-scale sampling of vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens, also including one animal group (leaf hoppers). Apart from the quarterly issues of its own electronic journal (Bulletin of the Eurasian Dry Grassland Group), EDGG also finalised five grassland-related Special Features/Issues during the past 1.5 years in the following international journals: Applied Vegetation Science, Biodiversity and Conservation, Phytocoenologia, Tuexenia and Hacquetia. Beyond that, EDGG facilitated various national and supra-national vegetationplot databases of grasslands and established its own specialised database for standardised multi-scale plot data of Palaearctic grasslands (GrassPlot).

Palaearctic grasslands encompass a diverse variety of habitats, many of high nature value and vulnerability. The main challenges are climate-change, land-use change, agricultural intensification and abandonment. Many measures are in place to address these challenges, through restoration and appropriate management, though more work is necessary. We present eight studies from China/Germany, Greece, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine. The papers cover a wide range of grassland and steppe habitats and cover vegetation ecology, syntaxonomy and zoology. We also conducted a systematic search on steppe and grassland diversity. The greatest number of studies was from China, followed by Germany and England. We conclude that the amount of research being carried out on Eurasian grasslands is inadequate considering their high levels of biodiversity and vulnerability. We hope to encourage readers to address current major challenges, such as how to manage grasslands for the benefit of diverse taxa, to ensure that conservation initiatives concentrate on sites where there is good potential for success and for the generation of realistic and viable conservation strategies. IzvlečekTravišča zmerne palearktične regije predstavljajo raznolika življenjska okolja, med katerimi so številna naravovarstveno pomembna in ogrožena. Glavni izzivi, kot so klimatske spremembe, spremembe rabe tal, intenzifikacija kmetijstva in opušča-nje rabe, so znani. Nanje skušamo odgovoriti z različnimi ukrepi, z obnovo in primernim gospodarjenjem s travišči, vendar bo potrebno še veliko postoriti. V tej številki predstavljamo osem raziskav travišč na Kitajskem in v Nemčiji, Grčiji, Kazahstanu, Rusiji in Ukrajini. Članki pokrivajo širok izbor travišč in stepskih habitatov in predstavljajo vegetacijsko ekološke, sintaksonomske in zoološke vidike. Naredili smo tudi sistematično poizvedbo o člankih s tematiko raznolikosti step in travišč. Največje število raziskav je s Kitajske, sledita Nemčija in Anglija. Zaključimo lahko, da je število raziskav evrazijskih travišč nezadostno, če upoštevamo njihovo veliko raznolikost in ogroženost zaradi okoljskih sprememb. Upamo, da bo ta posebna številka vzpodbudila bralce, da se bodo usmerili v raziskave glavnih izzivov, na primer kako gospodariti na rastiščih v prid različnim vrstam, da se bodo naravovarstvene pobude osredotočile na rastišča z dobrim potencialom za uspeh ali za izdelavo nove generacije realnih in izvedljivih strategij ohranjanja.
