GYPNET

A network of researchers working on gypsum ecosystems

Become part of it!

Gypsum in the world

​Gypsum outcrops extend over 100 million ha throughout the globe, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas. Together with the arid conditions, gypsum soils show a suite of physical and chemical characteristics that render them particularly restrictive for plant life. Surprisingly, in spite of their limiting nature, they host a highly diversified and specialized flora that constitutes a global conservation priority. ​Despite their relevance, and difference to other “special” substrates like saline or serpentine soils, gypsum soils have received little attention in the past, and the mechanisms displayed by organisms to live on them remain largely unknown.

1st GER Conference


Announcing the 1st Gypsum Ecosystem Research conference, to be held in Ankara, Turkey, on the 3-9 June 2018
This conference originates from the activity of the GYPNET network and is part of the activities of the H2020 GYPWORLD project. It aims to initiate a series of fully open International Conferences focused on any research done on gypsum ecosystems. It will offer an International forum to interested scientists from around the world to present and discuss research results in all aspects related to GYPSUM ecology.
