Dear Division 3 Colleagues,
The IUFRO Task Force "Forest Adaptation and Restoration under Global Change" is conducting a survey regarding best practices for forest restoration and adaptive management (see the message below for details). Please participate in the survey if your work is related to the topic. Thank you.
Best regards,
Woodam Chung
********************************
Colleagues,
The members of the Task Force "Forest Adaptation and Restoration under Global Change" of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) are conducting a survey to gain data and insights for developing best practice approaches for forest adaptation and restoration under global change. This survey relies on the knowledge of experts/professionals from forestry and related fields and their information about actual examples of Adaptive Measures in Forestry and Forest Restoration.
The collected data will contribute valuable information to a study of the local and regional experiences with Adaptive Forest Management (AFM) and Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) under climate- and societal change with the aim to increase the adaptive capacity of forests and forest landscapes with regards to those changes.
If you are working or have experience in this field, please participate in this survey. You can choose among 13 languages. It will take approximately 15-20 minutes to fill in the survey and we would like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Cool forests at risk?
The critical role of boreal and mountain ecosystems
for people, bioeconomy, and climate
17-20 September 2018, Laxenburg (near Vienna), Austria.
The International Boreal Forest Research Association is pleased to announce, in collaboration with the Pan-Eurasian Experiment (PEEX), the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), and supported by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) the IBFRA18 "Cool forests at risk? The critical role of boreal and mountain ecosystems for people, bioeconomy, and climate” conference to be held in Laxenburg, Austria.
The event will focus on both boreal and high altitude forests. It will launch an initiative to raise awareness, maintain, and promote the multiple, critical values provided by those ecosystems.
Hosted by IIASA on 17-20 September 2018, the event will bring together and support the dialogue of academia and decision makers from policy, business, and civil society as the start of a collective effort to create solutions for a sustainable future for the earth system.

Dear colleagues working in Forest Operations,
The International Journal of Forest Engineering (http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tife20/current#.U2is9GeW2UQ ) is currently soliciting papers for a Special Issue entitled "The role of Forest Operations in climate change affected forests". Dr. Janine Schweier, of the University of Freiburg (Germany), is serving as Guest Editor for this issue.
Growing attention is being given to forest, agriculture and wood based bio-products in both policy and science, because these products are renewable, biodegradable, capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, have a wide range of utilisation and thus, support the main goal to reach a sustainable and a climate neutral economy and society. However, the environment is already affected by significant changes in climate patterns worldwide which leads to the use of more challenging, more complex and thus more expensive biomass and bioenergy supply chains; for example when machines cannot access forest stands due to wet summers or winters and the operations must be carried out motor manually and with cable-yarding systems.
The core question addressed in this Special Issue is how climate change impacts will affect timber harvesting and extraction operations in the future. Prospective authors are invited to contribute original manuscripts covering the following subjects:
Methods and Tools for climate adapted strategic and operational planning of forest operations
* How does climate change affect tomorrow's Forest Operations?
* Innovative forest harvesting technology and techniques
* Mechanized hardwood logging
* Reduced impact logging
* Environmentally-friendly Forest Operations (Life Cycle Assessment)
* Sustainable forest wood supply chains
* Carbon costs, carbon storage, carbon sequestration
* Forest Operations on sensitive soils
* Steep terrain harvesting
* Design and maintenance of forest road networks under changing climate conditions
This list is not exclusive, and prospective authors may submit manuscripts from other fields of forest engineering. Submission can be structured to reflect any of the accepted paper types, namely: Research papers, short communications and review papers.
The submission deadline is November 30th, 2018. Submitted papers should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We encourage authors to send a tentative title and short abstract to the Guest Editor in advance (Janine.schweier(a)foresteng.uni-freiburg.de<mailto:Janine.schweier@foresteng.uni-freiburg.de>).
For further details about the submission process, please see the instructions for authors: http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=tife20&page=…
We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Janine Schweier, International Journal of Forest Engineering
