EWRS WG "Weed Vegetation and Biodiversity" - Poll

Dear colleagues and members of the EWRS,

during the last SciCom meeting of the EWRS the two working groups "Weeds and Biodiversity" and "Weed mapping" were merged and the new WG "Weed Vegetation and Biodiversity" established. Since the group has now become larger and more diverse, we would like to get an impression about your interests, expectations and visions realted to this new WG.

For this purpose, we would like you to answer the following poll. It won't take longer than 10 minutes to complete and will help us to shape and coordinate the future WG activities much better. Thank you!

Matthias, Michaela and Hans-Jörg
