Early registration ends on November 9 for the upcoming IUFRO Symposium: NUTRIENT DYNAMICS OF PLANTED FORESTS. The event will be held 27-28 November, 2012 in Vancouver, Washington, USA (10 miles from the Portland, Oregon airport). Agenda and registration information is available online at: www.westernforestry.org
This IUFRO symposium features several expert speakers from around the world and is intended to provide a forum on the principles of nutrition in nursery seedlings and juvenile forest trees. Emphasis will be placed on the development of effective and environmentally sound technologies to optimize seedling quality and promote reforestation and forest restoration operations. The first day will focus on Nutrition in the Nursery and at Field Establishment and the second day will focus on Juvenile Stand Nutrition. The program is aimed toward an international audience of nursery and forest practitioners, scientists, and educators. Selected papers will be published as a special issue in the international journal, New Forests.
The symposium is being organized by Western Forestry and Conservation Association, Purdue University, and USDA Forest Service with support from IUFRO divisions 1.01.03 (Temperate Forest Regeneration), 1.06.00 (Restoration of Degraded Sites), and 3.02.00 (Stand Establishment and Treatment).

Colleagues in IUFRO Division 1 and 1.05.00,
The title of our next conference is 'Uneven-aged silviculture:
Optimizing timber production, ecosystem services and resilience to
climate change' and will be based at Lincoln University, New Zealand on
12-16 November 2012. Glenn Stewart has done a fantastic job putting
together this conference, which is the first venture into the southern
hemishpere for the Research Group. There is also a post conference tour
between 17-23 November 2012. However, the maximum number of people that
can be accommodated on the post conference tour is 30 and there are now

The deadline for abstracts has been extended to June 11, 2012 for the
14th IUFRO FIR SYMPOSIUM
which is jointly organized by the WP 1.01.09, 2.02.13, 2.02.09 and the
forest faculty of Kastamonu University. The meeting will be held on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, September 12-14, 2012 in Kastamonu, Turkey.
For details see: <http://www.ika2012.com> http://www.ika2012.com
The aim of the conference is to provide a synoptic overview on latest
research outputs in fir ecosystem dynamics, recent threats and suitable
management concepts. Presentations are welcome for the following session
topics:
1. The current status of fir species in Europe and the Mediterranean region
2. Ecology of fir species (incl. pathology)
3. Genetics of fir species (incl. provenance trials)
4. Silviculture of fir species (incl. multipurpose management concepts)
5. Economic value and marketing on fir species
6. Usage of fir species for non-wood products and services (landscape,
ornamental plants etc.)
7. The importance of fir species on industrial use
A pre-conference tour is offered separately which will bring you to the fir
forests of Bolu and Karabük.
We cordially invite all scientists working with fir species for contributing
to this interdisciplinary conference.
On behalf of the organizing committee
