Betreff: Call for papers
Dear Colleagues,
The IUFRO Units 4.04.04 'Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling' and 4.04.06 'Nature Conservation Planning' are sponsoring 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

Sorry for any crossposting. Please disseminate this information to whomever you think might be interested.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Jose G. Borges, Jordi Garcia-Gonzalo and Marc E McDill

Final call for abstracts for the 2016 FLARE Meeting in Edinburgh!
FLARE (Forests and Livelihoods: Assessment, Research, and Engagement) <http://www.forestlivelihoods.org/> aims (1) to advance cutting-edge knowledge and practices regarding forest-based livelihoods, governance, biodiversity, and climate change; (2) increase dialogue and interactions between practitioners and researchers/scholars; and (3) create a global community of practice on forest-livelihood interactions. The second annual meeting will focus on the approaches, methods, tools, and indicators to assess how, where, and why governing forest and forest mosaics for improving livelihoods works, and how it can be strengthened.
Submit your abstract for a paper, panel session, lightning talk, poster, or workshop before July 10th. Don't miss your chance to be considered for one of three cash prizes for the best paper submitted and presented!

International Conference on Landscape & Human Health | Forests, Parks and Green Care - <http://bfw.ac.at/internationalconference> http://bfw.ac.at/internationalconference
The first call for papers and sessions will be announced in September 2016.
Today’s western societies are faced with a growing incidence of poor health because of mental stress and sedentary lifestyles. Natural and cultural landscapes are increasingly seen as restorative settings, compensating for negative psychophysiological effects on humans.
The Third International Conference on Landscape and Human Health | Forests, Parks and Green Care (17-19 May, 2017) provides a forum for the presentatios and discussion of recent developments in the following research topics:
- Landscape effects on human health and well-being
- Methods for assessing landscape effects on human health and well-being
- Biodiversity and human health and well-being
- Effects of landscape structures and types on human health and well-being
- Forests as restorative places (e.g. forest therapy, forest bathing)
- Impacts of green care offers (e.g. social impacts, effects on health, well-being)
- Social impact of landscapes
- Social inclusion (of fringe groups) fostered by landscapes and green care offers
This conference is a follow up to the Conferences Recreation and Health in Landscape and Forest and Landscape and Health:
Effects, Potential and Strategies that took place at the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) in 2009 and 2012 and the 1st Austrian Conference on Forest and Human Health.
