Forest Seedling Root Development and Function
for Reforestation and Restoration October 19-21, 2021 • Virtual
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES:
This IUFRO symposium is intended to provide a forum for exchange of ideas related to principles of root development 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. Speaker topics will focus on seedling root development in the nursery and in the field. The program is aimed toward an international audience of nursery and forest practitioners, scientists, and educators. Presentations will be of excellent scientific quality while also providing new, useful information which can be readily and widely applied to nursery and forest practices.
ORGANIZERS:
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).
SESSIONS:
In an effort to accommodate multiple time zones, the symposium will be held during three days from 8:00AM to 10:40AM (PDT, UTC-7). Registered attendees will also have exclusive access to recorded sessions for 30 days after the event.
REGISTRATION:
The full agenda and registration details are available at: https://westernforestry.org<https://westernforestry.org/>

Dear Colleagues,
The IUFRO mailing lists will be offline due to technical maintenance, starting later this (Monday) afternoon (in approximately 3 hours) for approximately 24 hours.
During that period, you are kindly required not to post to any of the lists that you are subscribed to. Once the lists are online again, you will be notified.
We are sorry for any incovenience caused and thank you for your understanding.
Best regards
Brigitte Burger

Subject: Task Force Webinar Series
Aloha, please share this widely! The Task Force on Nontimber Forest Products and the Bioeconomy are starting a series of presentation. This intended to let people know.
Please join us for a new webinar series<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.srs.f…>! The IUFRO Task Force "Unlocking the Bioeconomy and Nontimber Forest Products" with partners is cohosting a series of presentations to explore how NTFP are integrated into a bioeconomy. A bioeconomy can reduce environmental impacts of economic growth through science-based management that promotes sustainable production. In this series, experts from around the world will share research on nontimber forest products within a bioeconomy concept.
The first webinar will be Tuesday, August 31, 7:30-8:30 a.m. ET. Register<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.z…> for the webinar. The attached flyer provides more information on this month's speaker.
The series will feature monthly webinars over the next year, leading up to the UN FAO XV World Forestry Congress in May 2022. "Building a Green Healthy and Resilient Future with Forests" is the theme and the Congress will be held in South Korea.

Dear IUFRO Division 2 member
(please excuse for multiple postings)
The first EVOLTREE Conference on "Genomics and Adaptation in Forest
Ecosystems" will take place 14-17 September, 2021, at WSL Birmensdorf in
Switzerland. Thanks to the improved situation concerning the pandemic in
many countries, we will hold the conference in hybrid format (on-site and
online).
Registration is still possible
· on-site: 15 August 2021
· online: 1 September 2021
at the registration website https://conf.wsl.ch/evoltree/
Registration follows a two-step procedure (first as user of the
registration tool, then as conference participant).
The conference focuses on the genomics and adaptation of trees and
interacting species from evolutionary, demographic, ecological and
conservation perspectives. It features
· diverse topical sessions
· two poster sessions
· two teaching lectures
· a half-day excursion
· ample opportunities for scientific networking
For more information and the detailed program, visit our conference
website:
http://www.evoltree.eu/index.php/network/current-information/news/10-news/n…
Note that the on-site participation is subject to government travel
restrictions that may change at short notice. To enter Switzerland,
special rules apply at the moment for certain countries and regions (i.e.,
a 10-day quarantine). More details and respective links can be found on
the conference webpage.
EVOLTREE (http://evoltree.eu) 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.
