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. With best regards, the organizing committee: Felix Gugerli, WSL Christian Rellstab, WSL Susanne Senn-Raschle, WSL evoltree(a)wsl.ch
