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
More information at: <http://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-policy-and-economics/call-for-paper…> http://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-policy-and-economics/call-for-paper…
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!
