International Congress announcement (Palermo, Italy - 2017)

by Chiatante Donato

Dear Colleagues, It is our great pleasure to announce that the Joint International Congress entitled “SUSTAINABLE RESTORATION OF MEDITERRANEAN FORESTS - Analysis and perspective within the context of bio-based economy development under global changes” will be held in Palermo (Italy), 19 – 21 April 2017. It is known worldwide that conservation and sustainable management of forests plays a pivotal role in the green economy of present and future generations. It is for this reason that the achievement of an improved knowledge of how to adapt forest and forests landscapes to the challenges posed by climate and social changes must become the first goal for all researchers and stakeholder active in this important sector of any national economies. Because of Palermo latitudinal position in Sicily, the period of the year chosen for holding the congress is normally the best period of the year in terms of climate and vegetation life-time. Therefore we are sure that there will be outstanding social events, good opportunities to establish new collaborations among participants, and relaxed discussion in addition to a fabulous post-congress excursion. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we kindly invite you to Palermo International Congress in April 2017, ITALY. Kind regards Andreas Bolte – IUFRO Franco Maria Raimondo – University of Palermo Donato Chiatante - Italian Society for Forest Restoration Consolata Siniscalco - Italian Botanical Society Orazio Ciancio - Italian Academy of Forest Sciences Donato Chiatante Professore Ordinario di Botanica Ambientale ed Applicata Dipartimento di Biotecnologie e Scienze della Vita - DBSV Università degli Studi dell'Insubria via Dunant, 3 21100 - Varese Tel +39 0332 217651 Tel +39 0332 260544 Fax +39 0332 397659 Skype: donato.chiatante President of SIRF (Società Italiana di Restauro Forestale) www.sirf.it Past-President of SBI (Società Botanica Italiana) List of publications at: http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=RJB9izwAAAAJ&hl=it Curriculum Vitae at= http://donato-chiatante.webnode.it/sitemap/

IUFRO Joint International Conference “Between Tradition and Increasing Challenges..." - 2nd Call for Papers and Registration Open

by Brigitte Burger

Between Tradition and Increasing Challenges: Future Development of Small-scale and Community Forestry in Times of Global Change Foz do Iguacu, Brazil // 26 September 2016 — 29 September 2016 Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce a joint and co-hosted meeting of three IUFRO groups (3.08.00, 9.03.00 and 9.05.06) close to the border between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay at Foz do Iguacu. The conference will provide a unique opportunity to bring together researchers from all over the world to share evidence-based knowledge on small-scale and community forestry issues in Latin America, including the ecological, institutional and anthropogenic factors influencing the management and evolution of forests and forest landscapes. As traditional knowledge plays a substantial role in both small-scale and community forest ownership models, the integration of a historical dimension will provide an additional source of information in order to interpret and understand the challenges and constraints related to global change. Participants are encouraged to submit their abstracts for oral or poster presentation. Abstracts are due by June 15, 2016 (second call). Abstracts should not exceed 300 words and should outline the aims and contents of the presentation. The abstract submission format is available for download at the conference website: http://www.latinoamericajointiufromeeting.com/. Please send your abstract to: mgabay(a)ambiente.gob.ar and communityforestry.iufro(a)gmail.com.

IUFRO Division 3 Doctoral Conference in Corvallis, OR

by Chung, Woodam

Dear Colleagues, IUFRO Division 3 will host the first Division 3 Doctoral Conference in Corvallis, Oregon, USA (August 29th - September 2nd, 2016). The purpose of this conference is to build cohort, friendship and fellowship among future research scientists in our discipline. As most of you already know, there are not many young research scientists working in our discipline around the world. This presents a challenge to our research community today and in the future. Cohort-building and networking in an early stage of career is important, and this Conference is intended to provide just that - Connecting Knowledge and Mind! Networking and friendship will benefit the current PhD students throughout their career, and perhaps enable them to work together to solve the challenges our generation will leave behind. The Conference will be led mainly by students and provide ample opportunities of research discussion, peer mentoring, culture sharing and having great fun! Oregon State University (OSU) will provide lodging, most meals and ground transportation for (hopefully) all student participants during the one-week Conference. Participants will need to pay their own travel expenses to Oregon. The conference flier is attached to this email, and more information is available at http://cpe.forestry.oregonstate.edu/IUFROStudentConference. I hope you are able to send one of your own students or a student you can support to the Conference. Thank you! Important Dates March 31st Abstract Submission Deadline April 15th Notification of Acceptance May 29th Registration Deadline (no registration fee) August 28th Arrival, Registration, Welcome Reception August 29th - September 2nd 1st IUFRO Division 3 Doctoral Student Conference September 2nd Farewell Ceremony Best regards, Woodam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Woodam Chung IUFRO Division 3 Coordinator Faye & Lucille Stewart Professor of Forest Engineering Department of Forest Engineering, Resources and Management Oregon State University 267 Peavy Hall Corvallis, OR 97331-5703 Email: woodam.chung(a)oregonstate.edu<mailto:woodam.chung@oregonstate.edu> Phone: +1-541-737-8248 IUFRO Division 3 Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/division-3-podcast/id1062022963 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IUFRO Joint International Conference - RG 3.08, RG 9.03, WP 9.05.06

by Brigitte Burger

From: Monica Gabay [mailto:monagabay@yahoo.com] Sent: Montag, 22. Februar 2016 14:14 Subject: IUFRO Joint International Conference - RG 3.08, RG 9.03, WP 9.05.06 Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to share with you the first announcement and call for submissions for our IUFRO International Conference "Between Tradition and Increasing Challenges: Future Development of Small-scale and Community Forestry in Times of Global Change". Some of you honor us by participating in the Scientific Committee, so I am sure we will have a very interesting meeting! The conference will provide a unique opportunity to bring together researchers from all over the world to share evidence-based knowledge on small-scale and community forestry issues in Latin America, including the ecological, institutional and anthropogenic factors influencing the management and evolution of forests and forest landscapes. As traditional knowledge plays a substantial role in both small-scale and community forest ownership models, the integration of a historical dimension will provide an additional source of information in order to interpret and understand the challenges and constraints related to global change. Please find attached the First Announcement as well as two pictures: the Paranaense Rainforest in Misiones, Argentina, and a workshop of mbya guarani craftspeople on valorization of the cultural value inherent to their production. I look forward to promoting forest history and traditional knowledge (as well as community forestry) at this meeting! All the best, Monica Between Tradition and Increasing Challenges: Future Development of Small-scale and Community Forestry in Times of Global Change IUFRO International Conference IUFRO Units 3.08.00 - Small-scale forestry; 9.03.00 - Forest history and traditional knowledge 9.05.06 - Community forestry Foz do Iguacu / 26.

by Brigitte Burger

CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS <http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/en/news.asp?id=23.html> http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/en/news.asp?id=23.html Deadline for Submissions: 31 January 2016 The Congress Scientific Committee invites submission of session proposals for the IUFRO Regional Congress for Asia and Oceania 2016. In keeping with the spirit of the Congress title – Forests for Sustainable Development: The Role of Research, the Congress Scientific Committee is developing a program that will highlight the role of forest science in informing forest-related policies and management in Asia and Oceania to cope with the significant environmental, social and economic changes in the region and address the consequent challenges. The Congress program will reflect the forest science community’s diverse contributions, inside and outside the region, across the full range of natural and social science disciplines at various levels, from the gene to the globe, with special emphasis on key issues and research areas identified in IUFRO’s 2015-2019 Strategy. Session proposals will be accepted that address one or more of the following Congress themes: 1. Sustainable forest management for enhanced provision of ecosystem services; 2. Forest and landscape rehabilitation and restoration; 3. Combating desertification, disaster and risk management, and climate change mitigation and adaptation; 4. Planted forests for fostering a greener economy; 5. Innovative technologies for bio-energy, bio-materials and other products; 6. Urban forestry for human health and community well-being; 7. Social and cultural aspects of forests, including traditional knowledge, human health, community participation and gender roles; 8. Forest and agro-forest management for food security, enhanced livelihoods and non-timber forest products. Who may submit a session proposal? All who share an interest in the future of forests and forest science session are invited to submit session proposals. We encourage proposals that involve collaboration between two or more IUFRO Divisions or Task Forces and/or with organizations not formally associated with IUFRO, and from university students at all levels. We strongly recommend IUFRO officeholders and others actively involved in IUFRO Research Groups, Working Parties, and Task Forces communicate with their respective Division representatives on the CSC (or Task Force coordinators, please see the list of CSC Members) before submitting proposals – this will greatly facilitate broader involvement of IUFRO divisional units and Task Forces in the scientific program and avoid overlaps among sessions. Session proposals from non‐IUFRO member organizations are encouraged although preference will be given to those that are prepared jointly with IUFRO Divisional units and Task Forces–if assistance is needed to identify appropriate partners within IUFRO, please contact the CSC Chair or other members of the CSC. Preparing and submitting a session proposal Proposals should be submitted between now and January 31, 2016 (please see Important Dates) by submitting online ( <http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/> http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/) and then sending email to iufro_ao2016(a)163.com attached with the completely and appropriately filled Session Proposal. Proposals will not be accepted after January 31, 2016. Session proposals should include basic information on session organizer(s), session title, alignment with Congress themes, and a short abstract of the session proposal, that describes the session objectives, content and proposed session format (i.e., presentation of individual papers and/or posters, moderated panel discussion, or other forms of presentation) and lists proposed speakers (if known), their organizational affiliations and tentative titles of their presentations. Proposed sessions should be organized to be 2 hours in length. For sessions involving oral presentations, were recommended that each speaker be given 15-20 minutes for his/her presentation. Please note that the abstract submission process will be open to all, so session organizers may need to include oral presentations and/or posters that were not originally proposed for their sessions. Please be aware of this possibility and the need for flexibility in designing your session. In the event that the number of accepted abstracts for a particular session exceeds the number that can be accommodated in a single session, organizers may be given an additional session slot in the Congress program. Criteria for selection Session proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by members of the Congress Scientific Committee with primary consideration given to their scientific quality and relevance to the Congress themes. Other factors that will be considered are: the involvement of two or more IUFRO units (Divisions, Task Forces, Research Groups and Working Parties) and/or non‐IUFRO organizations; geographic and gender diversity of proposed session speakers or presenters; and the involvement of students and young scientists. Proposals will be evaluated as they are received, so we strongly encourage submissions well in advance of the January 31 deadline. Acceptance decisions will be made no later than March 15, 2016. An open Call for Abstracts will be issued on April 1 with online abstract submission until May 15 and acceptance decisions by July 15, 2016. Responsibilities of session organizers Session organizers of accepted proposals are expected to communicate with prospective presenters regarding submission of abstracts (online, from April 1 through May 15, 2016), and will be asked to review abstracts submitted for their sessions during the abstract review period (i.e., May 15 to July 15, 2016). Session organizers may be asked to assist the CSC in the editing of accepted abstracts. They will also be responsible for moderating sessions (or assigning session moderation responsibilities) and are encouraged to pursue publication options for papers presented in their sessions. Abstracts of papers and posters presented during the Congress will be printed and included in a Congress abstracts volume. As formal Congress proceedings with full papers will not be published, session organizers should explore alternative publication options (books, special issues of journals, etc.) for their sessions. We look forward to hearing from you and for your active participation in the design of an excellent scientific program for the IUFRO Regional Congress for Asia and Oceania 2016 in Beijing.

SAF opportunity: Associate Editors for Forest Science

by Brigitte Burger

SAF is seeking Associate Editors for Forest Science (looking for international professionals – ideally from Latin America, Asia, and Africa). Please distribute the job description below to your applicable colleagues and contacts. Interested individuals can apply by sending a CV to Matt Walls (wallsm(a)safnet.org) There is no technical deadline, but I would encourage those interested to contact Matt as soon as possible. Forest Science is a peer-reviewed journal publishing fundamental and applied research that explores all aspects of natural and social sciences as they apply to the function and management of the forested ecosystems of the world. Topics include silviculture, forest management, biometrics, economics, entomology & pathology, fire & fuels management, forest ecology, genetics & tree improvement, geospatial technologies, harvesting & utilization, landscape ecology, operations research, forest policy, physiology, recreation, social sciences, soils & hydrology, and wildlife management. Forest Science currently has an editorial board comprised of 1 editor-in-chief, 3 applied research editors, and over 75 associate editors specializing in 18 areas of forestry and natural resources. Associate editors are responsible for assisting the editor in soliciting and developing articles of interest to forestry and natural resource researchers, academicians, and professionals, land managers, and policy makers; obtaining competent, timely reviews of assigned papers; and ensuring that the topics covered in Forest Science are balanced across discipline and employment categories. In more specific terms, there are two broad areas of responsibility. The first is the peer-review process, coordinating the review of scientific and technical manuscripts in the associate editor’s field that have been submitted to Forest Science for publication—generally by distributing them to three authorities in the relevant subject areas. To fulfill this task, associate editors must know the different subfields within his or her specialty, and who practices in these subfields, so that papers can be sent to appropriate, knowledgeable reviewers. Associate editors will be notified by the web-based peer review system, Rapid Review, that a manuscript has been sent for review. It is expected that the associate editor acknowledge the assignment and assign reviewers within 4 business days of receipt. Reviewers are asked to accept or decline a review assignment within 2 business days and return completed reviews within 15 business days; associate editors are expected to ensure that assignments are acknowledged and comments are returned in a timely manner. Associate editors are asked to review reviewer comments and ensure that they are delivered in a professional and constructive manner, then synthesize these comments for the Forest Science editor. If the reviewers should disagree markedly, the associate editor should recommend which course to take (accept, ask for revision, or reject), and provide guidance that the authors can follow when preparing their revision. The second area concerns the broader, less-defined role of consulting with and advising the Forest Science editor-in-chief in determining the content, direction, and focus of Forest Science, particularly in the specialties that he or she is responsible for. This would include being aware of new developments in the field, current controversies, and subjects that have not been adequately covered in Forest Science. Associate editors are encouraged to suggest possible topics and authors for appropriate articles. Thanks, Danielle Watson Assistant Director, Government Affairs and External Relations Society of American Foresters O: (866) 897-8720 ext. 202 C: (301) 526-8354 watsond(a)safnet.org

IUFRO Task Forces: Open Call for Proposals

by Brigitte Burger

IUFRO Task Forces are established on a temporary basis to advance inter-disciplinary cooperation in inter-divisional forest research fields. Their focus is on emerging key issues that are of strong interests to policy makers and groups inside and outside the forest sector, and contribute to international processes and activities. During the IUFRO Board Meeting held in Salt Lake City in October 2014, a number of Principles were agreed upon as a basis for the establishment of Task Forces during the current IUFRO term. In the view of the IUFRO Management Committee, the number of Task Forces to be convened during a given year may be up to ten, but in order to encourage activities across the full spectrum of IUFRO's disciplinary expertise, shorter-term, more tightly focused Task Forces are encouraged. This will enable IUFRO to establish new Task Forces on a periodic basis throughout the 2015-2019 Term to take advantage of emerging needs and opportunities. SELECTION CRITERIA Proposals for new Task Forces will be evaluated by the Management Committee based on the following criteria: • Contribution to implementation of the IUFRO Strategy 2015-2019; • Potential to strengthen cross-Divisional interaction on specific topics of global relevance related to one or more Emphasis Areas and/or Institutional Goals of the IUFRO Strategy 2015-2019 (for details see <http://www.iufro.org/discover/strategy/#c10578> http://www.iufro.org/discover/strategy/#c10578) • Engagement of two or more Divisions by specifically involving relevant Divisional units (Research Groups and/or Working Parties) - proposal should be jointly developed with the relevant IUFRO Divisions and their units, but may involve additional experts currently outside of the IUFRO network and partner institutions, as required. Task Force activities should not undercut current work within IUFRO Divisions, but rather complement and expand their activities; • Specific contribution of the proposed Task Force to addressing broader policy processes or interdisciplinary science-policy initiatives; e.g., Future Earth (1) , Intergovernmental Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), etc.; • In case partner institutions are involved, brief justification for their involvement; • Clarity of timelines for proposed Task Force activities and their deliverables; while Task Forces can be proposed for up to the full length of the current IUFRO term (until the 2019 World Congress in Brazil), it is highly recommended that proposed Task Forces consider more focused activities to be undertaken over a much shorter time period (i.e., 1-2 years); • Selection of Task Force members in a way that they reflect required scientific expertise, diversity, balance between North/South, natural and social sciences, and gender; • Clarity of operational aspects (roles and responsibilities of Task Force coordinator and members, roles and responsibilities of partners involved, if any), budget for activities and funding sources. Proposals are now being accepted for new Task Forces that would begin their work in early 2015. Please refer to the format (outlined below) when preparing your proposals. The deadline for submission of proposals is January 15th, 2015. All proposals will be reviewed by the Vice-President for Task Forces in consultation with other members of the IUFRO Management Committee and the Coordinators of IUFRO Divisions relevant to each proposal. Decisions on the establishment of new Task Forces will be made and communicated to the proposed Task Force coordinators by the end of February. The coordinators of new Task Forces will be invited to participate in the upcoming IUFRO Board meeting to be held in Vienna from April 15-17, 2015. FORMAT FOR TASK FORCE PROPOSALS Note: Proposals should include the following as concisely as possible, within 3-5 pages. • Name of proposed Task Force • Name of proposed Task Force coordinator, affiliation (including IUFRO position) and contact information • Names of proposed Task Force members, their affiliations (including IUFRO positions) and contact information Brief overview of the rationale, goals, and objectives of the proposed Task Force (1 paragraph) • Description of specific proposed Task Force activities, deliverables and timelines. This should include planned focused meetings with tangible outputs such as 'state-of-knowledge' reviews, journal papers, dedicated volumes, etc. • Budget table listing major activities and funding sources, if known – indicate if these funds are already secured. • Narrative addressing the following: - Contribution to implementation of the IUFRO 2015-2019 Strategy; - How the proposed Task Force will strengthen cross-Divisional interaction on specified topics related to IUFRO 2015-2019 Strategy's Emphasis Areas and/or Institutional Goals , and how the Task Force will complement and/or expand activities of existing IUFRO Divisional units; - Specific contribution of the proposed Task Force to addressing broader policy processes or interdisciplinary science-policy initiatives. The deadline for submission of proposals is January 15th, 2015. Proposals should be sent to John Parrotta ( <mailto:jparrotta@fs.fed.us> jparrotta(a)fs.fed.us) with a copy to Renate Prüller ( <mailto:prueller@iufro.org> prueller(a)iufro.org) (1) Future Earth is an ICSU interdisciplinary initiative to develop knowledge for responding effectively to the risks and opportunities of global environmental change and for supporting transformation towards global sustainability.

IUFRO-sponsored 2nd Restoring Forests Congress

by Herman, Barri

The conference is also up on our IUFRO website at http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-3/30000/30200/activities/ IUFRO-sponsored 2nd Restoring Forests Congress to be held 14-16 October 2014 in Lafayette, Indiana USA (Purdue University). The 1st Restoring Forests (Sep 2011 in Madrid) was a successful, well attended event that resulted in a double special issue in New Forests (http://link.springer.com/journal/11056/43/5/page/1) In building upon this momentum, this 2nd symposium promises to be another exceptional symposium! The theme of the congress is "What constitutes success in the 21st Century?". We will examine the continued evolution of the scope of forest restoration and re-explore the need to set realistic goals to achieve restoration success. Field tours will highlight the ongoing forest restoration research of the Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center (http://www.htirc.org<http://www.htirc.org/>) at Purdue University, featuring especially the role of genetics in ecological restoration. We will have a wide variety of invited speakers as well as volunteer oral and poster presentations. Selected papers from the congress will once again be published in a special issue of New Forests. Please consider participating in the conference and forward this message to your colleagues, encouraging them to attend.

by Brigitte Burger

Dear Climate-L readers, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is inviting experts to take part in a second round of comments on the Working Group II contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report that starts on Thursday, 28 March. For the second round of expert reviews, Working Group II, which covers climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability, is seeking input from volunteer expert reviewers from all relevant fields. The second order draft of the contribution will also be reviewed by the member governments of the IPCC. The review period runs until 24 May. Registration for participation in the review is now open. The IPCC seeks the widest possible participation by experts in the reviews of its draft reports. Reviewers should reflect the full range of scientific, technical, and socio-economic views, expertise, and geographical representation. In order to arrive at a balanced assessment, Working Group II hopes to draw on the expertise of climate scientists as well as others with the knowledge or experience to provide scientific review comments on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability. The main stages of the review process are the review of the first order draft by scientific experts, the review of the second order draft by experts and governments, and a final round of government comments on the draft of the Summary for Policymakers. During the review of the first order draft of its contribution to AR5, Working Group II received more than 19,000 comments from 563 reviewers from 60 countries. Independent review editors ensure that every review comment is addressed by the authors of the report chapters. To ensure transparency, all the comments and the responses from the authors are published with the drafts after the reports are released. Individuals who have already registered for the review of the first order draft are automatically registered for the review of the second order draft. They can use the login credentials provided for the earlier review. Experts who have not previously registered may secure access to the reviewing system based on an email request to tsu(a)ipcc-wg2.gov .

IUFRO WP 9.01.01: Call for papers/contributions: IUFRO and Information:Direction 2012

by burger

IUFRO - 9.01.01 - Library, information networks and terminology Call for papers/contributions: IUFRO and Information: Direction 2012 IUFRO Division 9 Conference Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina, 8-10 May 2012 ------------- IUFRO and Information: Direction 2012 Information has been central to IUFRO's brief since its foundation in the nineteenth century, and it has maintained a specialist research group dealing with information in various forms for well over a century. Following the latest re-organisation, this role is now held by the new IUFRO group 9. 01, Information and Communication, which brings together the traditional library, information networks and terminology activities (formerly 6.03) with communications, public relations, extension and knowledge exchange, along with the long-existing Latin American and Caribbean information systems network. The All-Division 9 conference in Sarajevo, May 9-11 2012, gives us a great opportunity to explore these newly-unified territories and discover synergies within them that will benefit both IUFRO's internal information exchange and the global forest information network. Each subgroup of 9.01 will offer an individual programme, and this is a call for contributions for the session to be organised by 9.01.01, Library, Information Networks and Terminology, entitled IUFRO and Information: Direction 2012. For full details of the Sarajevo conference see http://www.foper.org/iufro_1.html. Objectives for the session are: 1) To involve the widest possible cross-section of those with an interest in forest-related information 2) To explore opportunities for cross-sectoral work between the various sub-sections of 9.01 and across IUFRO generally, to support and enhance information provision is its widest sense 3) To derive from this a timely and relevant agenda for 9.01.01 to take us up to the next World Congress in 2014 and beyond. So we invite your ideas! In which directions should we be heading in 2012? What are your priorities in managing information today? What solutions have you found, and what support do you need to help establish new systems and services - or to reinforce existing systems much valued but now under threat, perhaps for economic or staffing reasons? We welcome proposals for conventional papers (15min maximum), and also short contributions (maximum 5 mins) which can be presented in café-style discussion sessions. We recognise that funding to attend conferences is often difficult to come by these days, particularly in the library and information sector, and many who would be interested may be unable to attend. We welcome contributions from you too! and strongly encourage you to send in short pieces which can be discussed by conference participants. This can be in any form you like, e.g. PowerPoint, video (e.g. YouTube), social media (Twitter etc), e-mail etc. We are not looking for sophisticated or time-consuming presentation, but for ideas : suggestions for activities where we as a group of information professionals can make a difference to you, whether you are an information provider or user, or both. Traditionally, our group has been active in the areas of networking, classification and terminology, and in supporting the Global Forest Information Service (GFIS); and more recently in the developing areas of data management/archiving, mentoring, training & support and evidence-based forestry. Ideas for further development in those areas are welcome, but do not limit yourselves to them: information is key to every area of human activity so nothing is barred! Please send your suggestions in not more than 450 words, together with full name of authors, affiliations, and an e-mail address by February 20, 2012, to gillian.petrokofsky(a)plants.ox.ac.uk<mailto:gillian.petrokofsky@plants.ox.ac. uk>. Please share this call for papers widely. Many thanks! _______________________________________________ posted on behalf of 9.01.01 Coordinator Gillian Petrokofsky by Brigitte Burger, IUFRO Headquarters

New study warns damage to forests from climate change could cost the planet its major keeper of greenhouse gases

by Goestl Claudia

We are pleased to announce that the first ever compiled global assessment report on "Adaptation of Forests and People to Climate Change" will be published officially at the next session of the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF), during the following side event: Making Forests Fit For Change - IUFRO-Led Activities at the Science-Policy Interface Wednesday, 22 April 13:15 to 14:45 hours Conference Room 2 (CR-2) UN Headquarters, New York City The report is the first product of the IUFRO-led Global Forest Expert Panels of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF) and presents the state-of-knowledge about the impacts of climate change on forests and people and options for adaptation. One of the key messages that emerged from this assessment is that the carbon-regulating services of forests are at risk of being lost entirely unless current carbon emissions are reduced substantially; this would result in the release of huge quantities of carbon to the atmosphere, exacerbating climate change. The report as well as a policy brief (available in all UN languages) can be downloaded at: http://www.iufro.org/science/gfep/ Information for the press is available at: http://www.iufro.org/science/gfep/media-information/ For further information, please, contact: Alexander Buck, IUFRO Mobile +43-664-1426852 Email: buck(at)iufro.org About IUFRO and the CPF The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) is the only world-wide organization devoted to forest research and related sciences.

international conference on nursery techniques and forest restoration - Rome (Italy), March 2009, 12-14

by Ciccarese Lorenzo

Dear colleague, INNOVATION AND NEW HORIZONS IN TREE NURSERY STOCK PRODUCTION AND FOREST RESTORATION - FROM RESEARCH TO BUSINESS This is the title of an International Scientific Conference, organised within the EU FP6 project "Pre-Forest", that will be held in Rome (Italy) from 12 to 14 March 2009. The conference is organised in co-operation between Vivai Torsanlorenzo Group, University of Tuscia, Dalarna University, and National Agricultural Research Foundation and IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research Organizations) groups S3.02.00 (Operational methods in the establishment and treatment of stands), working parties S3.02.03 (Nursery operations) and S3.02.01 (Stand establishment operations). The announcement and the call for abstracts can be found on the Website www.vivaitorsanlorenzo.it and www.preforest.eu ABSTRACTS ARE VERY WELCOME UNTIL THE END OF JANUARY 2009 In the last decade considerable changes have occurred in tree forest nursery techniques (from seed handling and processing to planting stock storage) and in forest restoration operations. Main drivers of change are represented by the implementation of sustainable forestry with focus on biodiversity, landscape and climate change, the need to reduce resources imputed during planting stock production. Contemporary forest restoration is a complex task, as it assumes different forms according to diverse ecological, socio-political and historic contexts. Yet, forest restoration requires vision, flexibility in applying silvicultural tools. Also a pragmatic approach is needed, as costs of restoration and scale of degradation are constraints. Technical innovation and forethought are needed to adapt forest nursery management and forest restoration. This conference aims at bringing together scientists, forest managers, policy advisors, private nursery entrepreneurs and producers of nursery equipment to: · display the results of their research activities and their prototypes, innovative biological results and technical solutions regarding nursery management and forest restoration, especially in difficult sites; · to present new ideas for technological innovation, prototypes and applications, and discuss future development within this area. Two themes will thus be developed: 1. Innovative forest nursery management 2. Contemporary forest restoration Vivai Torsanlorenzo Group and University of Tuscia (Italy), QS Odlingssystem AB and Dalarna University (Sweden), and Ditikomakedonika Fytoria and National Agricultural Research Foundation (freece) are partners of a research project named "PreForest", funded by the European Commission (EC), within the VI Research Framework Programme, Cooperative Research Action For Technology (CRAFT).
