Third International Faustmann Symposium
Forest Economics in a Dynamic and Changing World
October 28-31, 2009
The Hunting Castle of Kranichstein
Darmstadt, Germany
The year 2009 marks the 160th anniversary since Martin Faustmann published
the seminal paper “Berechnung des Werthes, welchen Waldboden, sowie noch
nicht haubare Holzbestände für die Waldwirthschaft besitzen” – “Calculation
of the Value which Forest Land and Immature Stands Possess for Forestry”.
This paper stands as an icon both for forest economics and capital theory.
The first International Faustmann Symposium was held in Darmstadt, Germany
in 1999 and the second in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA in 2005. We invite all
interested parties to attend the Third International Faustmann Symposium
titled “Forest Economics in a Dynamic and Changing World”.
The themes of the Symposium are:
1. New theoretical developments of deterministic and stochastic forest
economic models in the rapidly changing worlds of natural resources,
environment, and economic development.
2. Theoretical and practical applications for optimal timber production at
the stand, forest and regional levels, including studies on forest economic
problems in developing countries.
3. Studies on the integration of timber production with recreational and
other forest values, including economic studies on forestry and climate
change.
4. Studies applying the optimal rotation approach in other fields of
resource, environmental or agricultural economics.
Call for Papers
The organizers of the Symposium are particularly interested in encouraging
both theoreticians and practitioners in the field of forest economics, as
well as economists and forest scientists with closely related interests to
participate in the Symposium. The intent is to have a lively exchange
between researchers and practitioners during the Symposium and to spark
ideas to meet the needs of real world applications. Any questions regarding
relevance should be directed to either to Dick Brazee (
<mailto:brazee@illinois.edu> brazee(a)illinois.edu) or Olli Tahvonen (
<mailto:olli.tahvonen@metla.fi> olli.tahvonen(a)metla.fi)
For consideration full papers must be received by April 30, 2009. Papers
should be in English. Please use the templates on the webpage (

Dear IUFRO Colleague,
The 2009 IUFRO 3.08 Small-Scale Forestry Symposium, "Seeing the Forest Beyond the Trees: New possibilities and expectations for products and services from small-scale forestry" will be held June 7-11, 2009 in Morgantown, WV, USA. Attached is a list of the presentations slated for the symposium.
The topics include environmental services, bioenergy, landowner typology, fire, policy, timber and nontimber forest products, agroforestry, education and communications, and economics--all concerning small-scale landholders.
To find out more or to register for this symposium, visit our website at: http://ssf09.com.
I hope you can join us in June!
Best regards,

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/

Scientific Advisory Board
IUFRO informs about forthcoming first CPF global assessment report on the
adaptation of forests and forest-dependent people to climate change
5 December 2008 (Friday)
13:00-15:00
White-tailed Eagle Room, Poznań International Fair
On 5 December 2008, during the side event of the Collaborative Partnership
on Forests (CPF), Alexander Buck from IUFRO will report on the progress of
the first CPF global assessment report on the adaptation of forests and
forest-dependent people to climate change.
The peer-reviewed report will be launched at UNFF 8 in April 2009. It has
been prepared by the first CPF Global Forest Expert Panel (GFEP), which is
led and coordinated by IUFRO. The Panel has gathered input from about 100
renowned scientists from a broad range of disciplines.
This will be the most comprehensive assessment to date of existing
scientific knowledge about forest adaptation. It will provide decision
makers with an objective source of science-based information on the
ecological, social and economic impacts of climate change on forests and
people, and present forest management and policy options for adaptation.
The web-cast presentation will be available on demand from the UNFCCC
website at http://copportal1.man.poznan.pl/
