Dear Colleagues
I am writing to inform that I am co-editing a special issue (SI) of
Forest Ecology and Management, entitled "Active restoration of timber
production and other ecosystem services in secondary and degraded
forest". From your research focus, I feel that you may contribute to
this special issue.
Forest Ecology and Management is a peer reviewed journal that publishes
scientific articles linking forest ecology with forest management. 2019
IF: 3.170. 5-year IF: 3.581. Website:
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-ecology-and-management
The Open call of the SI is located at:
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-ecology-and-management/call-for-pa…
The submission portal will be opened from the 1st of September and until
the 1st of December 2020.
All submissions will go through the normal FEM review process. The
handling editor of this SI is Cindy Prescott (Cindy.Prescott(a)ubc.ca)
the guest editors are Plinio Sist, Bryan Finegan and my self.

Dear colleagues,
We cordially invite you to attend the WebCast "The Production Tables as a tool to support the management of Maritime Pine", July 21st, at 11:00 a.m.
WEST (UTC+1), on the Zoom platform, in Portuguese.
This WebCast is organized by the Centro PINUS (centropinus.org) and Universidade de Trás-os-Montes (Portugal) with the support of IUFRO Working Party 1.01.10 - Ecology and Silviculture of Pine.
The presentation intends to promote a publication < <https://centropinus.org/files/2020/05/tabelas_producao_digital.pdf>
https://centropinus.org/files/2020/05/tabelas_producao_digital.pdf> that facilitates forest technicians' access to production tables for maritime pine. The presentation will be in Portuguese with an expected duration of one hour.
Registration to receive the access link is required here:

It is with immense pleasure that we announce the 1st International
Electronic Conference on Forests (IECF):
Forests for a Better Future: Sustainability, Innovation, Interdisciplinarity
Virtual Conference; 15-30 November 2020
Forests and forestry activities provide an opportunity to address the
pressing challenge of climate change through sustainable production. Forests
also play a strategic role in mitigating critical issues, including
biodiversity conservation, water regulation, energy efficiency, pollution
reduction and mitigation, production of raw biological materials, food
safety, and human and ecosystem health and poverty.
Forests contribute to the improvement of some important development issues
focused on sustainability and responsible forest management as a shared and
essential factor to address global challenges and guarantee the conservation
and enhancement of the global forest heritage as well as the socio-economic
development of production, environmental, and socio-cultural chains.
The global pandemic has forced us to reduce travel and to reflect on our
ability to leave scientific acquisitions as a legacy to future generations.
This reduced mobility stimulates us to maintain connections with the
scientific network using emerging technologies. This conference is an
opportunity to communicate our shared passion for forests, forest products
and services, and forest biodiversity.
The conference will discuss the state of the art of forestry operations,
wood supply chains, and ecosystem services, and objectives for the future
will be sought. Sharing and discussing the latest research findings with the
global community of scientists in the field of forests is the central
purpose of this virtual meeting.
Topics of the conference include:
- Forest Ecology, Management and Restoration
- Forest Genetics, Ecophysiology and Biology
- Forests and Urban Forest Sustainability
- Forest Inventory, Quantitative Methods and Remote Sensing
- Wood Science, Production Chains and Fuelwood
- Forest Operations and Engineering
- Fire Risks and Other Natural Hazards
IECF is a virtual conference sponsored by Forests (ISSN 1999-4907; Impact
Factor 2.116 (2018)). Participation is free of charge for authors and
attendees. Accepted papers will be gathered in the proceedings of the
conference. Selected extended versions of the papers will be published in a
Forests conference Special Issue with a 20% discount applied to the article
processing charge
(https://www.mdpi.com/journal/Forests/special_issues/IECF2020)
IECF offers you the opportunity to participate in this international,
scholarly conference without having the concern or expenditure of travel-all
you need is your computer and access to the Internet. We would like to
invite you to "attend" this conference by presenting your latest work.
