Latest Updates on 3rd IUFRO Acacia Conference

by Wickneswari Ratnam

Dear IUFRO members, Greetings from the conference secretariat! The world has been in pandemic mode for more than a year since the onset of coronavirus (COVID-19) in late 2019. Eventhough COVID-19 vaccinations are being administered globally, worrisome variants are spreading fast and have already hit several countries. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Malaysia’s and Sarawak’s authorities have implemented entry and movement restrictions on all foreign nationals, except those holding certain categories of residence visas and employment passes. To prevent further spread of the virus, the organizing committee of the 3rd IUFRO Acacia Conference has made the difficult decision to postpone the conference to *26-28 October 2021,* and to change the conference mode from hybrid to a fully *virtual conference aka webinar*, to avoid large-gatherings. This was a tough call to make and we know this is disappointing. However, the health and safety of all the speakers, participants, VVIPs and our committee members are our utmost concern. The main organizer, Forest Department Sarawak has also decided to *give waiver* of registration fee to all participants in order to encourage more researchers, plantation managers and policy makers around the world to join this webinar. This conference will be a 3-days' webinar covering 5 different sub-themes: *1. **Industrial Forest Plantation Policy* - Sharing of respective state/country’s policy on industrial forest plantation - Issues and challenges faced in the implementation of the policy *2. **Plantation Management for Sustainable Wood Production* - Silviculture and nursery practices - Drone/GIS and IoT application in IFP management - Economic value of IFP - IFP management certification *3. **Risk Management* - Biosecurity - Climate change, forest fire - Environmental impact of the invasiveness of *Acacia* - Environmental conservation and social aspects in the IFP *4. **Genetics and Breeding* - Breeding/ tree improvement - Polyploidy study - Genetics & genomics study, marker-assisted selection *5. **High Value-added Timber Products* - Wood property - Forest products - Marketing of planted timber products Poster sessions and post-conference tours will be done virtually too. For more information, please visit our website at https://iufroacacia2020.com/. Please register now at https://iufroacacia2020.com/online-registration/ Thanks.

First EVOLTREE Conference 2021: Genomics and Adaptation in Forest Ecosystems

by christian.rellstab＠wsl.ch

Dear IUFRO Division 2 member (please excuse for multiple postings) The first EVOLTREE Conference, hosted by WSL Birmensdorf (Switzerland) from 14-17 September, 2021, focuses on the genomics and adaptation of trees and interacting species from evolutionary, demographic, and ecological perspectives. We welcome contributions that apply innovative approaches and consider the relevance of their research in the context of biodiversity conservation through natural dynamics or silvicultural interference. Registration and abstract submission is now open! https://conf.wsl.ch/evoltree/ For more details, visit our conference website: http://www.evoltree.eu/index.php/10-news/news-middle/180-evoltree-conference Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for now you can register only for the online conference. In early June 2021, we will decide if and how many attendees can participate on-site (although this will be subject to government travel restrictions that may change at short notice). You will then be able to acquire an additional on-site package. EVOLTREE is a European network of research institutions and universities engaged in studying the evolution and functioning of forest ecosystems, in particular trees as the foundation species in forest stands. A prime topic in the face of ongoing climate change is to elucidate how trees, together with their associated organisms such as mycorrhizal fungi, respond to rapid environmental changes. With best regards, the organizing committee: Felix Gugerli, WSL Christian Rellstab, WSL Susanne Senn-Raschle, WSL evoltree(a)wsl.ch --------------------------------------------------- Dr. Christian Rellstab Senior Researcher Associate Editor of Tree Genetics & Genomes Biodiversity and Conservation Biology Ecological Genetics Swiss Federal Institute WSL Zürcherstrasse 111 8903 Birmensdorf Switzerland Room: Bi MG C 39 Phone WSL: +41 44 739 2542 Phone mobile: +41 79 256 44 06 Phone home office: +41 43 536 67 15 E-mail: christian.rellstab(a)wsl.ch https://www.wsl.ch/en/employees/rellstab.html Office days: tuesday - friday ---------------------------------------------------
