Announcing: NUTRIENT DYNAMICS OF PLANTED FORESTS
27-28 NOVEMBER, 2012, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON, USA
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES:
This IUFRO symposium is intended to provide a forum for exchange of ideas related to principles of nutrition 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. The first day will focus on Nutrition in the Nursery and at Field Establishment and the second day will focus on Juvenile Stand Nutrition. 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. Selected authors will be invited to prepare a paper for the symposium proceedings to be published in a special issue of the international journal, New Forests.
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).

Dear IUFRO members,
The Final Conference of PARAmount a project funded by the Alpine Space
Programme of the European Union will be held on 23rd April 2012 at
Grenoble in parallel with the 12th Congress of INTERPRAEVENT (Grenoble, 23
26 April 2012).
The Final Conference is designed to bring together experts, researchers,
policy and decision makers, practitioners from various disciplines as well
as concerned stakeholders for an interdisciplinary, transnational exchange
of views on the further development of strategies and technologies for the
management of natural hazards threatening transport infrastructure and to
present the results of the project concerning the
Assessment of the vulnerability of transport infrastructure to natural
hazards
Improvement of the efficiency of measures necessary to protect transport
infrastructure against natural hazards and to increase its reliability and
security
Advancement of Decision analysis and support systems for an effective
management of transport infrastructure threatened by natural risks
Development of new concepts and approaches for assessing and monitoring
natural risks.
The objective of the concluding round table discussion will be to elaborate
recommendations for overcoming the identified barriers that might impede the
adoption of the developed approaches and concepts as well as to ensure a
successful knowledge transfer.

Dear Colleagues!
We invite you to take part in the International Conference RR 2012:
"Renewable Forest Resources: innovative development in forestry" that
belongs to a conference series on Renewable Resources.
Forestry is constantly adapting to new needs of the changing world. The
range of demands put on forest sector by society has considerably increased
in recent years. These changes require innovative developments not only in
the field of technologies and business, but also on policy and management
level, that will create the environment where innovations can take place.
The aim of the conference is the discussion of various aspects of use of
forest resources and the presentation of Russian and foreign experience in
the introduction of innovative methods of forest management, reforestation
and forest use. Representatives of authorities, scientific-educational and
business community of Russia and other countries are invited to participate
in the plenary session and round tables.
More detailed information can be find at : http://onlinereg.ru/RR2012/
Yours
Maxim
