Call for Participation in the 4th International Congress on Planted Forests
The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), in
partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO) and the State Forestry and Grassland Administration of China (SFGA),
is convening the 4th International Congress on Planted Forests at the China
National Convention Centre (CNCC), Beijing, China on October 23-25, 2018,
with optional post Congress excursions on October 26-27 with two routes, one
for the conservation planted forests in North China and one for the
industrial planted forests in South China. The Congress is organized by the
Chinese Academy of Forestry (CAF), the national research institution on
forestry in China.
The 4th International Congress on Planted Forests aims to investigate the
contribution of planted forests to green development in the context of
global changes. Topics include the sustainability of planted forests in the
context of changing climates and the future role of planted forests in
bio-resources sustainability, environmental protection and green
development. The Congress will also be a space of interface between
scientific communities, wider society and government policy initiatives
related to planted forests.
The 4th International Congress on Planted Forests will arrange 2 plenary
keynote presentations, 8 sub-plenary invited presentations, around 40
parallel technical sessions with around 240 oral presentations as well as
quite a number of poster presentations.
The 4th International Congress on Planted Forests is calling for submission
of session proposals and abstracts, as well as registration for
participation.
Important deadlines:
(1) Submission for session proposals: May 31, 2018 (with flexibility of
submission a week later if prior communication with the Congress Secretariat
is made).
(2) Submission for abstracts: July 15, 2018.
(3) Early-bird registration: July 31, 2018.
Immediately after the 4th International Congress on Planted Forests, there
will be also the 60's anniversary celebration of the Chinese Academy of
Forestry and associated international workshop in Beijing, China on October
26-27, 2018.
Please find as attached herewith the Congress Announcement.

We thank you very much and look forward to your kind participation in the
4th International Congress on Planted Forests, either organizing sessions,
or making oral/and or poster presentations, as well as just participating
for academic discussions and exchange.
It will be highly appreciated if you could also help circulate the Congress

Dear Colleagues,
IUFRO Units 4.04.04—Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling, IUFRO Unit
4.03—Informatics, Modelling, and Statistics and IUFRO Unit 4.03.03.
Information management and information technologies are sponsoring a
Special Issue of /Forests /(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests) on
Decision Support to Address Multiple Ecosystem Services in Forest
Management Planning
We welcome the submission of manuscripts for publication in this Forests
special issue (SI). This SI aims at contributing to our understanding of
how we can enhance forest management planning, in integrating a wide
range of ecosystem services (ES) and assuring a sustainable supply (e.g.
products and services listed in the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment). We
welcome manuscripts that focus on 1) models to help forest managers
check the impact of management options on the provision of ES, 2)
methods to help forest managers develop plans targeting the supply of
ES, 3) methods to help forest managers analyze tradeoffs between a
multitude of ES, 4) methods to help forest managers assess the
sensitivity of the supply of ecosystem services to uncertain parameters,
5) multiple criteria decision support systems and 6) approaches to map
the demand for ES and the quality and quantity of ES supply. Papers
submitted for publication in this Special Issue will undergo a rigorous
peer review process with the aim of prompt and wide dissemination of
research results and applications.

On behalf the other co-editors of this SI, Harald Vacik, Keith Reynolds,

Subject: Postdoc position in Forest Modelling in Romania
Dear colleagues and friends,
The National Institute for Research and Development in Forestry (INCDS) “Marin Drăcea” in Romania is hiring a post-doc for two years.
The position should start as soon as possible and preferably in June this year. We are looking for somebody with a background in forest ecology and modelling to implement a forest landscape simulation model aimed at forecasting the future of Romanian forests under range of climate and management scenarios.
Please find further information in the attachment.
The only hard requirement of the position is that candidates must have working rights within the EU.
Could you please circulate this offer to potential candidates you know of and who are looking for postdoc opportunities?
Thanks a lot for your help.
