Extension of Abstract Deadline-IUFRO working parties "Foliage, shoot, and stem diseases" (7.02.02) and "Rusts of Forest Trees" (7.02.05) Meeting in June 2022, Durham, NH
by Munck, Isabel -FS
Dear colleagues:
We are extending the abstract deadline for the joint IUFRO working parties "Foliage, shoot, and stem diseases" (7.02.02) and "Rusts of Forest Trees" (7.02.05). Abstracts are now due on March 21st 2022. Hopefully, by then, it will be easier to make decisions about travel. The meeting will take place in Durham, New Hampshire, USA. Durham is home to the University of New Hampshire<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Funh.edu%2F…>, offers the best of both worlds--breathtaking scenery and the slower pace of New England country and small-town life. With the seacoast city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire only 12 km to the east there are many good restaurants (excellent seafood) and hotels. It is easy to travel to Durham because close to Boston, MA 1 hour to the south. The Acadian forests are a temperate broadleaf and conifer mix ecoregion and there is no shortage of complex pathology issues including beech bark disease, beech leaf disease, shoot blights, foliar diseases, Armillaria and other root rots, Diplodia & butternut canker and many others. We have organized field trips close to the meeting location to avoid traveling long distances by bus. Fortunately, the university is surrounded by beautiful forests in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean! We hope that you will consider attending the Joint Meeting and help us disseminate the announcement. We look forward to hearing from you, Isabel Munck, Salvatore Moricca, and Julio Diez Casero

ITMN Online seminar with Ana Bastos February 15 (4 pm CET)
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 *February 15, 4 pm CET*, with:
*Dr. Ana Bastos*
*Title: **Climate variability, extremes, and attribution of high-impact
ecological events: challenges and ways forward*
_Abstract:_ Climate and weather extremes impact tree functioning
directly and can further trigger forest disturbances, thus affecting
forest functioning and dynamics over periods much longer than the
extreme per-se. With increased frequency or intensity of extreme events
projected in the coming decades, extreme events might cluster in periods
shorter than recovery times, thereby amplifying impacts and potentially
inducing degradation and mortality trajectories. Understanding the links
between atmospheric variability controlling extreme event occurrence and
downstream impacts on forests is, therefore, crucial to: (i) separate
trends in disturbance/mortality events due to natural vs.
anthropogenically forced climate variability, (ii) improve process
understanding about the drivers of high-impact ecological events and
(iii) increase the robustness of future projections of forest dynamics.
_Bio:_ Ana Bastos is the Lead of the Climate-ecosystem-disturbance
interactions group of the Max Planck Institute of Biogeochemistry. She
specialises in climate-ecosystem interactions with an emphasis on the
inter-annual to long-term variability in the global carbon-cycle.
