First announcement All-Division 7 Forest Pathology and Entomology Conference 6-9 September 2022, Lisbon, Portugal

by eckehard.brockerhoff＠wsl.ch

Dear friends and colleagues, As I mentioned in our recent newsletter / annual report, we will proceed with planning our next All-Division 7 Forest Pathology and Entomology Conference, to be held from 6-9 September 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal. Manuela Branco and José Carlos Franco will be the local organisers. Attached is a first announcement. At this time, we are asking for early indications of likely participation, preferably by 25 June 2021 or before. We have chosen this date because we need to enter into an agreement with the conference venue and that requires a partial payment of the venue hire fee. So we need to know if there is enough interest from potential participants. Therefore, we would like to ask you to ... submit session proposals (on any forest pathology or entomology topic); please send these to iufrolisbon2022(a)isa.ulisboa.pt by 25 June 2021 or preferably even earlier (see the attached announcement for further information); and/orlet us know if you plan to attend the conference by sending an email to iufrolisbon2022(a)isa.ulisboa.pt preferably also by 25 June 2021. That way we will add your name to our list for occasional email updates and subsequent announcements. We are hoping that many participants of forest health working parties will attend and support the conference. Please share this announcement with your forest pathology and entomology colleagues (including participants of past IUFRO meetings). Our apologies if you receive this message more than once as we will cross-post this announcement via other channels. Best wishes Ecki Brockerhoff, Manuela Branco and José Carlos Franco and the entire conference organising team Tod Ramsfield, Maartje Klapwijk, Beccy Ganley, Julio Diez, Barbara Bentz, Hervé Jactel and Joséphine Queffelec --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eckehard Brockerhoff, PhD Coordinator, IUFRO Division 7 (Forest Health) and Head of Research Unit 'Forest Health and Biotic Interactions' Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL Zürcherstrasse 111, CH-8903 Birmensdorf, Switzerland Tel +41 79 819 0882 eckehard.brockerhoff(a)wsl.ch

REMINDER: International Tree Mortality Network seminar series: Tree mortality modelling by Lisa Hülsmann May 6 (5 pm CEST)

by Henrik Hartmann

Dear all, The International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality, continues the online seminar series join on *May 6, 5 pm CEST*, with: *Dr. Lisa Hülsmann* *Title: Tree mortality modelling – a tool for ecological inference and a challenge for projecting forest dynamics* _Abstract:_ Tree death is ubiquitous in forests, even without climate change, and has a lasting impact on forest structure, species composition, biomass, and biodiversity. By relating tree mortality and other vital rates to tree, forest, and environmental conditions, we can therefore identify the mechanisms that govern the shape of forest ecosystems. In turn, these empirical relationships can be useful for projecting future forest dynamics and range limits of tree species. In the talk, I will discuss empirical tree mortality models as a diagnostic opportunity and a modeling challenge through two examples: the role of conspecific negative density dependence (Janzen-Connell effects) for tree diversity and the tighter coupling of dynamic vegetation models to forest data. _Bio:_ Dr. Lisa Hülsmann leads a junior research group at the University of Regensburg (Germany) and combines empirical and simulation models to investigate biotic interactions, ecosystem productivities, range limits and their response to environmental change and human activities especially in forest ecosystems. She studied forest ecology and hydrogeology at the University of Göttingen and did her PhD on tree mortality modelling at ETH Zurich. *Please register for the Zoom Webinar: * https://zoom.us/webinar/register/1516189233652/WN_F4a4CsEzT6Ct4AsBIruztQ <https://zoom.us/webinar/register/1516189233652/WN_F4a4CsEzT6Ct4AsBIruztQ> Note that the talks might be recorded. *Recordings of previous seminars on YouTube:* https://t1p.de/lrlv <https://t1p.de/lrlv> *Visit us at:* https://www.tree-mortality.net/ <https://www.tree-mortality.net/> https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/ <https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/> -- --- Dr. (habil.)
