Dear colleagues,

We would like to remind you that the deadline for submitting abstracts for the scientific conference “Adaptive Silviculture of Complex Pine Stands: Challenges for Forest Persistence,” which will be held April 20–22, 2027, at the Technical School of Forestry of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), will be September 30th . This international conference is organized by the IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research Organizations) Unit “Ecology and silviculture of pine” (1.01.10), the Silviculture working group of the Spanish Society of Forest Sciences (SECF), the ETSI Montes (UPM), and the Institute of Forest Sciences (ICIFOR, INIA-CSIC), and with the participation of IUFRO units 1.01.12 (Silviculture and Ungulates), 1.04.00 (Agroforestry), and 1.09.00 (Ecology and Silviculture of Mixed Stands), will serve as a gathering point for forest managers and researchers focused on the silviculture and ecology of pine forests worldwide.

On our website and in the attached poster, you will find more information, as well as the abstract submission form and the official conference template for submitting your contributions to one of the following thematic sessions:

1.    Vulnerability and adaptive capacity of pine forests

2.    Adaptive management of pure and mixed pine forests

3.    Non-native pine species as an alternative management strategy

4.    Browsing as a challenge to natural regeneration in pure and mixed pine forests

5.    Agroforestry with pine species

You can also follow the official social media profiles for the meeting on X and Instagram.

Best regards, and we look forward to seeing you there
