Dear Colleagues,
The IUFRO Unit 4.04.04 'Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling' is
coordinating a Special Issue in Decision Support for Forest Ecosystem
Management Sustainability, to be published in Sustainability
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability), a SCIE and SSCI (Web of
Science) journal published in open access form.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts reporting research on:
(1) Models for assessing the impacts of management strategies on
biodiversity, on vulnerability to wildfires, on product and revenue
flows and on ecosystem sustainability.
(2) Methods that can link traditional stand‑level approaches for forest
production with a landscape‑level approach that targets spatial
structures associated with ecological functioning and sustainable supply
of forest-based services.
(3) Methods that may help assess risk and uncertainty as well as
trade-offs between ecosystem services to develop sustainable forest
ecosystem management plans.
(4) Forest management decision support systems that may encapsulate
models and methods (1) to (3) and help transfer technology and knowledge
of forest ecosystems.
The deadline for manuscript submission: 30 September 2016

Sorry for any crossposting. Please disseminate this information to
whomever you think might be interested.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Jose Borges

Dear Colleagues,
The IUFRO Units 4.04.04 'Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling' and
4.04.06 'Nature Conservation Planning' aresponsoring a Special Issue on
Decision Support for Integrated Policy Analysis to be published in
Forest Policy and Economics
(http://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-policy-and-economics
<http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability>).
This Special Issue originates from an initiative of Working Group 2
“Forestry modelling for integrated policy analysis” of COST Action
FP1207 “Orchestrating forest-related policy analysis in Europe
(ORCHESTRA)". It addresses a topic that is relevant to the five themes
of the IUFRO 2015-2019 Strategy and that is transversal to Divisions 3,
4, 6 and 9.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts reporting research of models,
methods and/or decision support systems (DSS) that account for
forest-related policy analysis at multiple levels and its application in
real case studies. As currently, little information is available about
decision support tools used for forest policy development, a special
focus should be on the information provided by different types of
decision support tools at different scales and on the benefits and
limitations/challenges of the approaches presented. Particular attention
should be paid to forest-related policy fields such as biodiversity,
climate change, bioenergy, trade and green economy.
The deadline for manuscript submission: 30 September 2016
