Betreff: 2013 SORP-FFP Conference Update
The IUFRO Conference on Forests for People and
the 2013 National Outdoor Recreation Conference
Early Bird Registration Extended to May 1
The federal sequestration has put many potential federal conference attendees on hold while they sort out the budget implications. So we extended the early bird registration to May 1. The early bird rate for SORP and IUFRO members will increase from $385 to $485 on May 2. The non-member rate will increase from $485 to $585. Register now and save some bucks!
Attention Conference Speakers
Quite a few of you have registered already, but many of you have not. All speakers are expected to register for conference and pay their way. We do not have any funding to help with travel expenses. Please let us know right away if you cannot attend conference. The conference program goes to print in a few weeks and we want it to be as accurate as possible.
The conference program has been updated - <https://recpro.memberclicks.net/assets/Conference/2013_conference_program.p…> Click here to download a copy.
Lodging Reservations
We have quite a few lodging reservations for attendees that have not registered for conference yet. The room block at the Park Place Hotel is just about full and many attendees are contacting us because they cannot get a room.
If you made a hotel reservation and have since found out that you cannot attend. Please call now - (231) 946-5000 - and cancel your reservation so someone else can use that room and get a great rate. The conference group rate expires this Friday, so time is of the essence.
If you are one of those folks looking to get into the Park Place, we suggest you call them each day through this Friday and ask if there are any rooms available in the SORP block.

AMERICAN BAMBOO SOCIETY ANNUAL MEETING
October 10 through 13, 2013:
The 2013 American Bamboo Society Annual Conference
will be held at Mounts Botanical Garden [http://www.mounts.org/] in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Simon Velez, Marcellos Villegas and other great bambuseros will be there!
Stay tuned for more info: [http://www.bamboo.org]
Bamboo Family Tree - Newly published research [http://www2.isu.edu/headlines/?p=4402]
Idaho State University researcher Kelchner helps solve 5,000-year-old mystery: team deciphers the Bamboo family tree
Source: [http://www2.isu.edu/headlines/?p=4402]
For more than 5,000 years, people have studied bamboo: its uses, growth forms, unusual flowering cycles, and its relationship to other plant groups. Until now, the relationships among the major lineages of bamboos, called "tribes," were not known with any certainty. But a new paper in the journal Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution reveals the ancient story of bamboo using DNA analysis and provides the most convincing evidence to date of their long evolutionary history.
The paper titled, "Higher level phylogenetic relationships within the bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) based on five plastid markers," is authored by Idaho State University's Scot Kelchner, associate professor of systematics and evolution in the ISU Department of Biological Sciences, and an international research team called the Bamboo Phylogeny Group [http://www.eeob.iastate.edu/research/bamboo/]
Although most Americans are relatively unfamiliar with bamboos, it is difficult to overstate their importance to the livelihood and economies of tropical nations around the world. In developing countries, bamboo stalks provide the principal building materials for homes, tools, and a myriad of useful everyday objects like baskets, fences and cooking implements. Bamboos also play a critical role in the world's endangered tropical ecosystems, particularly in mountain habitats and cloud forests where species diversity is high. Culturally, they are of central importance to the history, art and philosophy of China, India, Japan, and much of Southeast Asia.
The newly published paper represents a major contribution by ISU to the knowledge of such an important plant group, one of long-standing interest and value to many of the world's peoples.
The Bamboo Phylogeny Group (BPG) was formed in 2005 by Kelchner and his colleague professor Lynn Clark [WBO Honorary Council member] at Iowa State University to tackle persistent questions about bamboo evolution. The collaborative research venture now includes nearly 30 researchers in 12 countries.
Kelchner arrived at ISU in 2004 with a history of bamboo research and a new opportunity to finally address his questions about the evolution of these fascinating grasses. ISU has since become a major contributor to world bamboo research, despite the state having a climate so harsh that few bamboos can survive (none are native to the region). But Idaho made a suitable place to head up the data accumulation and analysis parts of the project.
Leaf material used for DNA analysis was collected by members and sent from far-flung regions of the globe including Indonesia, Brazil, India, China, and Africa. Once those tissues arrived at ISU, Kelchner and his doctoral student Amanda Fisher went to work, providing nearly half of the DNA sequences and all of the extensive computational analyses used in the study.
With careful methodology, the comparison of DNA from different species can reveal a "family tree" of relationships called a phylogeny. For bamboos, this phylogeny can be viewed as a road map to their evolutionary history. With additional data, the phylogeny can also help researchers determine when and where bamboos originated, what changes happened to bamboo bodies over time, and how bamboos could have spread across the tropical and subtropical areas of Earth.
Two critical components of the study were assisted by ISU's Molecular Research Core Facility, and Dr. Michael Thomas's EGG bioinformatics group on campus. The Core Facilty helped with DNA sequencing, and bioinformaticist Dr. Luobin Yang was essential in getting Kelchner's database for the project up and running.
Samples from Madagascar species were particularly hard to get, and the new publication is the first to include this group of bamboos in its analysis. That means the article presents the first-ever complete family tree of bamboo relationships at the tribal level.
The phylogeny contains several carefully tested surprises. New or unexpected relationships are observed that require an alteration in scientific names for many bamboo groups. A formal accompanying paper authored by the BPG does just that, creating a valid scientific reference for the new bamboo names used worldwide for these plants.
For the first time in centuries, the new classification should stabilize scientific names at higher taxonomic levels in bamboos. It was principally for this reason that the National Science Foundation funded the grant that allowed Kelchner and Clark to form the BPG and conduct the work.
This diverse group of woody grasses is native to five continents and consists of about 1,400 species. More than 40 percent of those species occur in South and Central America, a fact that tends to surprise most of us in the United States who think of bamboo as growing mainly in China and Japan.

New Honorary Council Member - Fu Jinhe
Beginning in the 1990's, the early formation of WBO included collaboration with the International Network of Bamboo and Rattan [http://www.inbar.int] in our efforts to unite bamboo science, culture and exchange.
I.V. Ramanuja Rao, who is Programme Director of INBAR's Livelihood and Economic Development Programme, was instrumental in the formal organization of WBO ten years ago, and INBAR Director General Coosje Hoogendoorn has served on the Honorary Council for the past few years.
WBO is happy to announce that Dr. Fu Jinhe, Senior Program Officer of INBAR's Trade Development Programme, joins our Honorary Council. The Honorary Council [http://worldbamboo.net/about/board-of-directors/]is a group of distinguished researchers, business owners, architects, policy makers, etc who show dedication and commitment to bamboo as a vital resource. The HC acts as advisors to the administration of WBO and its goals & objectives. It is a volunteer organization, and there are no funds distributed to HC members. The WBO is funded solely through corporate sponsorships. It is a NGO with United States tax exemption status as a U.S. 501-c6 corporation.
Jinhe's face is very familiar to those of us who travel to bamboo events and tours, as he has been very active with INBAR, as well as the American Bamboo Society and European Bamboo Societies. He is staying quite busy organizing INBAR's China study tours, as well as recent projects in Ethiopia. Welcome, Jinhe!

Dear Climate-L readers,
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is inviting experts to take part in a second round of comments on the Working Group II contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report that starts on Thursday, 28 March. For the second round of expert reviews, Working Group II, which covers climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability, is seeking input from volunteer expert reviewers from all relevant fields. The second order draft of the contribution will also be reviewed by the member governments of the IPCC. The review period runs until 24 May. Registration for participation in the review is now open.
The IPCC seeks the widest possible participation by experts in the reviews of its draft reports. Reviewers should reflect the full range of scientific, technical, and socio-economic views, expertise, and geographical representation.
In order to arrive at a balanced assessment, Working Group II hopes to draw on the expertise of climate scientists as well as others with the knowledge or experience to provide scientific review comments on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability.
The main stages of the review process are the review of the first order draft by scientific experts, the review of the second order draft by experts and governments, and a final round of government comments on the draft of the Summary for Policymakers.
During the review of the first order draft of its contribution to AR5, Working Group II received more than 19,000 comments from 563 reviewers from 60 countries. Independent review editors ensure that every review comment is addressed by the authors of the report chapters. To ensure transparency, all the comments and the responses from the authors are published with the drafts after the reports are released.
Individuals who have already registered for the review of the first order draft are automatically registered for the review of the second order draft. They can use the login credentials provided for the earlier review. Experts who have not previously registered may secure access to the reviewing system based on an email request to tsu(a)ipcc-wg2.gov .
Please feel free to disseminate this review registration link within your professional networks.
