Dear friends of IUFRO

 

I would like to draw your attention to three IUFRO World Congress sessions of special interest to scientists and teachers of silviculture:

 

• Close-to-nature silviculture for global change adaptation and mitigation (subplenary session S1.1)
• Interactive forest management: Should silviculture and forest operations comply with governance or the opposite? (technical session T4.18)
• Teaching and training in silviculture: contemporary challenges and future prospects (technical session T5.32)

 

The session on close-to-nature silviculture focuses on one of the hottest topics in contemporary forest research.

 

The session on interactive forest management focuses on issues on the boundaries between silviculture, forest operations and governance issues. These less explored boundaries represent an emerging research topic and deserve more attention. We are keen to spark the discussion!

 

The session on teaching and training in silviculture will provide communicators, teachers and students the opportunity to share experience and exchange views on pedagogics and other related topics. This session is organized in cooperation with IFSA.

Please submit your abstract by 2 June 2023 to the much advertised https://www.appinconf.com/kas/Abstract?projectName=iufro2024abstracts

 

Best wishes,
JP
