Floristic-sociological study group
The floristic-sociological working group e. V. (FlorSoz) is a scientific association with a botanical- organismic orientation. The tasks of the working group lie in the scientific training of its members by deepening knowledge about the Central European flora and vegetation , in the promotion of the research and the protection of the native flora and vegetation, as well as in the publication of scientific results in the journal Tuexenia.
On August 13, 1927, at a meeting of mappers of the flora of the province of Hanover in Göttingen, the "Floristic-Sociological Working Group in Lower Saxony" was founded. In 1942, like many others, the association was forced to dissolve during the National Socialist era and was re-established in 1946 under the new name. This time with the expansion of the association to all of Germany and the neighboring countries, the number of members grew rapidly, to over 900 in the 1970s, over 1000 in the 1980s to the current level of over 1100.
The ordinary general assembly takes place every year during the annual scientific conference at different locations. The association publishes the Tuexenia and the synopsis of the plant communities in Germany. The forerunners of the Tuexenia, which appears annually, were the communications of the Floristic-Sociological Working Group until 1980 .
Werner Härdtle is the chairman of the floristic-sociological working group .
