In 2025, <strong>forests and foods</strong> is the theme for the day. The Vienna-based <strong>International Union of Forest Research Organizations </strong>(<a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM8G…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);">IUFRO</span></a>), one of the world's largest and oldest research collaborations, is taking this as an opportunity to emphasize the role of forests and forest science for food security.<br /><br />"The importance of healthy and species-rich forests for the environment and the economy cannot be overestimated," says IUFRO Senior Advisor <strong>Dr Christoph Wildburger</strong> and highlights the fundamental climate-protecting function of forests as CO<sub>2</sub> and water regulators. "<strong>Forests also ensure diversified food production</strong>: for example, forests are indispensable for pollinating insects such as bees. They protect rivers and water catchment areas thereby preserving the habitat of fish. Forests also provide green fodder for domestic animals, firewood and protein-rich game meat. They contribute to the livelihoods of more than five billion people worldwide," he says.<br /><br /><strong>Science and research provide the basis for evidence-based policy</strong><br /><br /><strong>IUFRO President Daniela Kleinschmit</strong>, Professor of Forest and Environmental Policy at Albert-Ludwig University of Freiburg, Germany, calls on political and economic decision-makers worldwide: "<strong>Findings from science and research provide a sound basis for recommendations for the survival of forest ecosystems—and thus for safeguarding human well-being.</strong> This is of particular importance for people whose livelihoods and food sources are directly threatened by the consequences of climate change, loss of biodiversity, and damage to ecosystems."<br /><br />Anyone who obtains food primarily from forests has a great interest in keeping them healthy. Ecologically resilient forests guarantee an intact basic supply, enable cultural vitality, and foster economic progress. "Forest protection measures to mitigate the effects of climate change and to preserve biodiversity—especially in tropical regions of the world—are based on one key success factor: they work best when they are implemented in agreement with the local people who rely on forests for their immediate livelihoods and food sources," Professor Kleinschmit explains. "<strong>Forests can promote the food sovereignty of the local population</strong>. Their agricultural and forestry expertise is a valuable resource and should be integrated into political and administrative measures," she adds.<br /><br /><strong>Forests provide more than timber: food worth billions</strong><br /><br />Forests not only provide raw materials for the wood-processing industry but also food, fuel, and much more. This means income and jobs, especially for the most vulnerable groups in society worldwide and for people who live near forests. While farmers and private individuals in many European countries, for example, primarily value timber from their forests as an additional source of income, people in other regions of the world rely more on food and firewood from the forest. The <strong>economic benefits of these products should not be underestimated</strong>. In 2022, the global trade volume of pine nuts and wild mushrooms amounted to around 1.8 billion US dollars! Access to wild food from the forest also provides <strong>more variety in the diet</strong> and thus <strong>improves health</strong>. Surveys in 24 tropical countries have shown that the sale of wild foods accounts for four percent of private household incomes.<br /><br /><strong>Science delves into the ways forests support food production, health, and resilience</strong><br /><br />For ten years, IUFRO has been examining the contribution of forests to achieving <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM2Q…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong>global sustainability goals</strong></span></a> on behalf of the United Nations and conducting comprehensive interdisciplinary studies as part of its <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM5U…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong>Science-Policy Programme</strong></span></a>.

Professor Kleinschmit, co-author of the study, adds: "Science also shows that agriculture systems that integrate forests and trees are more resilient to extreme weather events such as heavy rain, drought, or storms." <br /><br />IUFRO's <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM5U…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong>global study on forests and water</strong></span></a><strong>,</strong> published in 2018, emphasizes that forests and trees ensure a balanced water supply and safeguard water quality.

Since its launch in 2021, TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS has established a unique network of more than 100 scientists, business representatives, forest owners and policymakers along the entire forest value chain to tackle key challenges in the sustainable provision of wood-based products to meet societal demands. <br /><br />Over the past three years, TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS has built a platform to facilitate the dialogue through various activities and regular formats, including 'Think Tank meetings', 'Stakeholder Dialogues', and field trips. These meetings build a bridge between stakeholders, addressing key challenges such as climate change, adaptation measures, and ecosystem and biodiversity protection. The platform develops science-based response measures to strengthen forest resilience and climate adaptation while ensuring a secure future supply of wood fibre. <br /><br />"<i>TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS has excelled in identifying key topics for the wood-based sector and provides a vital platform for open discussions among stakeholders across the forest value chain. Closing the gap between science and business is a critical link in addressing the most pressing challenges for the forest-based sector and the future supply of forest goods and services. At Mondi, we are eager to continue translating scientific findings into practical measures for our operations, supporting the whole forest-based sector by ensuring our efforts are effective and scalable</i>" comments Dirk Längin, Mondi Group Head of Fibre Sourcing. <br /><br />Alexander Buck, Executive Director IUFRO, adds: "<i>As the global network for forest science cooperation, we are committed to fostering the development of science-based solutions to forest-related challenges. We are happy to take TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS to the next level and expand the scope of activities and targeted research to jointly address pressing questions related to climate change adaptation, carbon sequestration, fibre sourcing, and more</i>."<br /><br />TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS invites other industry partners to get in touch and explore becoming a partner in future and helping to define the focus areas for targeted science-business partnership in the forest sector.</p><p><br /><strong>Synthesis study as a key outcome of first partnership phase</strong><br /><br />In 2024, TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS published a synthesis study on the future supply of goods and services from European forests. The study has emphasised that forests in Europe are strongly affected by climate change, with far-reaching consequences for forest health and ecosystem services, including the supply of wood. Furthermore, the results highlighted the importance of collaboration among stakeholders across the forest value chain to address the challenges affecting wood supply in Europe.<br /><br />An integrated approach that combines scientific research, policy development, and practical implementation can enable a sustainable provision of wood. Knowledge sharing and cross-sector collaboration enhance resilience and adaptability and support a cohesive and effective response to identified challenges. <br /><br />Find the study <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM0g…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong>here</strong></span></a>. </p><p><br /><strong>Upcoming Think Tank meeting</strong><br /><br />The next TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS partnership meeting will kick off with a Think Tank meeting on 1 and 2 April 2025 in Vienna on strategies for sustainable forest management with a focus on biodiversity conservation.<br /><br /><i>Find more resources and partnership information on the TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS website: </i> <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM7u…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);">http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNM7u…</span></a> <br /><br /><i>Read: </i><strong> </strong><a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxo…><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"><strong>Media release</strong></span></a><strong> </strong></p><p><br /><strong>Media contacts</strong><br /><br />Doris Unterrainer<br />Sustainability Engagement and Reporting Specialist at Mondi Group<br />M: +43 676 6979443<br /><a href="mailto:doris.unterrainer@mondigroup.com"><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);">doris.unterrainer(at)mondigroup.com</span></a><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);"> </span><br /><br />Gerda Wolfrum, IUFRO Communications Coordinator<br />Tel: +43-1-8770151-17<br /><a href="mailto:wolfrum@iufro.org"><span style="color:hsl(240,100%,50%);">wolfrum(at)iufro.org</span></a><br /><br /><strong>About TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS</strong><br /><br />TEAMING UP 4 FORESTS was founded in 2021 by IUFRO and Mondi and has established a professional network of 100+ scientists, business representatives and policymakers along the forest value chain since then.

In the most recent episode of <strong>Branching Out: the Forest Podcast</strong>, hosts <strong>Jose Bolaños</strong> (IUFRO HQ) and <strong>Dante Bertocci </strong>(International Forestry Students' Association, IFSA) talk to one of the Co-Coordinators of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations' (IUFRO) Division 3 - Forest Operations, Engineering, and Management.<br /><br /><strong>René Zamora-Cristales </strong>(Oregon State University and World Resources Institute), Co-Coordinator of Division 3, explains that this Division focuses on how forestry activities are carried out - from seed collection and forest restoration to logging and resource management. He emphasizes that forest operations go far beyond timber harvesting, playing a key role in biodiversity conservation and forest landscape restoration.<br /><br />He also highlights that meeting global restoration targets, such as 350 million ha of forest landscapes by 2030 goal set by the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, requires careful planning. Without proper operations and engineering, even well-intentioned restoration efforts can fall short.<br /><br />Artificial intelligence-powered satellite imagery and drone technology are helping scientists map forests, analyse tree health, and optimize resource use. However, René emphasizes that AI remains a decision-support tool - human expertise and local knowledge remain vital for responsible forest management. <br /><br />As we navigate global challenges, Division 3's work reminds us that the 'how' of forestry is just as important as the 'why'.<br /><br />Listen the <strong>Branching out: the forest podcast</strong> wherever you enjoy your podcasts, on <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.GABaIVtqWQ-2F2hdnWUJ-2FFtIZ…>Spotify</a> and <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.GABaIVtqWQ-2F2hdnWUJ-2FFtIZ…>Apple Podcasts</a> or on our <a href="http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.GABaIVtqWQ-2F2hdnWUJ-2FFtIZ…>website</a>, and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review!

Call for nominations of fellows for the second global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services (3 February to 6 April 2025)

by Brigitte Burger

Dear Colleagues, Please find below a Call for Nominations of Fellows for the Second Global Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Applications are due by 28 March 2025. 04 [cid:image003.jpg@01DB7E41.41EB8650] 3 February 2025 EM/2025/04 Notification: Call for nominations of fellows for the second global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services Dear IPBES members, observers and other interested stakeholders, The IPBES Plenary, in decision IPBES-11/1, approved the undertaking of a second global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services. The overall objective of the second IPBES global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services (referred to hereafter as “the second global assessment”) is to assess relevant knowledge that has become available since the publication in 2019 of The Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services and to assess progress towards achieving the goals of sustainability and living in harmony with nature. The second global assessment will strengthen the science-policy interface on biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people on a range of spatial scales, from the local to the global, by providing the knowledge and the policy support tools needed for informed decision-making. The second global assessment will be delivered in 2028. Further to the call of nominations of experts for a second global assessment (EM/2025/04<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>, Governments and other relevant stakeholders are herewith invited to nominate candidates to participate in the IPBES fellowship programme for the second global assessment. The IPBES fellowship programme, which is part of a larger capacity-building portfolio of activities, targets early-career individuals1 who wish to gain experience by participating in the work of IPBES. Selected fellows will participate in the preparation of the chapter of the assessment for which they are selected, and their contribution will be acknowledged as part of the citation for that chapter. Fellows will attend author meetings and receive training to gain an in-depth understanding of the IPBES assessment processes and the science-policy interface. Fellows will also be paired up with a mentor for the assessment period. The assessment will be conducted in line with the procedures for IPBES deliverables set out in decision IPBES-3/3, annex I (available here<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>) and based on the scoping report for the assessment (available here<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>). IPBES is seeking fellows who have experience in regional and global analyses relating to nature and nature’s contributions to people in terrestrial, inland water, coastal and marine ecosystems. They should have expertise relevant to the global assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem services in one or more disciplines within natural science, social science or humanities. IPBES is, in particular, seeking fellows with an interdisciplinary background. IPBES is also looking for fellows on Indigenous and local knowledge. Governments and relevant stakeholders are invited to include in their nominations candidates with diverse backgrounds and expertise, and ensure gender balance in their nominations. All nominated candidates (nominees) need to be available to attend the relevant author meetings, training workshops and induction day for fellows, with the induction day and first author meeting tentatively scheduled for end of November 2025. All Governments and relevant organizations or institutions are encouraged to submit nominations; nominating organizations or institutions are not required to have been admitted to the Plenary of IPBES as an observer. Please help us to disseminate this call for nominations of fellows widely. Please follow the below procedure for nomination: * Sharing the call of nomination: All Governments and relevant organizations or institutions are invited to disseminate this call. * Completing the application form (candidates): Interested candidates are invited to complete the application form and attach their curriculum vitae through the dedicated web portal at https://www.ipbes.net/second-global-assessment/fellows-application<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…> (to access this page you will need to log in with your IPBES website log in credentials. Nominees not yet registered on the IPBES website will need to do so at https://ipbes.net/user/register<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>). Please note that the nomination form is in English only and applications should be submitted in English, as the assessment process will be conducted in English; * Approval and formal nomination (Governments/organizations): The nominating Government or organization (nominator) indicated by the nominee will receive an email with a link to the nomination form and will be invited to approve and submit the nominations in the web portal; * After nomination: Nominators and nominees will receive confirmation via email once the nomination has been submitted by the nominator. Interested early-career individuals wishing to be nominated by a Government are encouraged to contact their IPBES National Focal Point (https://www.ipbes.net/national-focal-points<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>) regarding any country specific processes or deadlines and are requested to fill out their application form by 28 March 2025. Nominators (Governments or organizations) should submit the nominations of all nominees, which they would like to support, before 6 April 2025. Early nominations ahead of this deadline are encouraged. Fellows will be selected by the management committee of the second global assessment, which includes the co-chairs of the assessment and members of the IPBES Bureau and Multidisciplinary Expert Panel. More information on the IPBES fellowship programme, including selection criteria and available support to selected fellows, can be found on the IPBES webpage: https://ipbes.net/ipbes-fellowship-programme<https://ipbes.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5da0fed71c7e4399fb28ab549&i…>. An online dialogue meeting will be organized to facilitate and strengthen engagement by Governments and stakeholders in the nomination of experts and fellows. The meeting will provide information regarding the required relevant expertise of nominees and the nomination process, and will also provide an opportunity for current and previous IPBES experts and fellows to share their experiences. The dialogue meeting is scheduled for 12 March 2025, 1 p.m. CET. More information will follow shortly. I thank you in advance for your nominations and your continued support to IPBES. ________________________________ 1.

From genetic diversity to groundbreaking technologies, the conversation revealed how science could shape the future of forests.</p><p> </p><p>Nilo, a forest policy student at the University of Gadjah Mada in Indonesia, brought some fresh perspectives. While Santiago shared his fascination with conifers, showcasing their remarkable adaptations to diverse environments, such as fire resistance of species in the Canary Islands, and Amanda reflected on her journey from studying Amazonian trees in Peru to exploring the genomic complexities of conifers like Douglas fir.</p><p> </p><p>The two Co-Coordinators emphasized the importance of collaboration within IUFRO's global network. "Genetic diversity is our insurance for an uncertain future," Santiago noted. Amanda encouraged young researchers to ask bold questions, underscoring the role of creativity in scientific discovery.</p><p> </p><p>From Gymnosperms to the transformative power of genomics, this episode offers a whole spectrum of tools for our forests' survival. <strong>We invite you to tune in to Branching Out: the forest podcast</strong>.

Fwd: Symposium on losses to pathogens and pests in agriculture and forestry

by Pascal Frey

Dear forest pathologists and entomologists, Andrea Ficke (NIBIO, Norway, Chair of the Crop Loss Committee of the International Society of Plant Pathology), Serge Savary (INRAE, France, retired), Neil McRoberts (UC Davis, USA) and some others are thinking about organizing an International Symposium on losses to pathogens and pests in agriculture and forestry, with the support of FAO. They are seeking some forest health specialists who are interested in concepts and methods to assess losses in forests (see below). If you are intereststed, here is a link to a Doodle poll for the next online meeting to discuss about this symposium : https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dBQmvo2b Best regards, Pascal Frey Dr Pascal FREY Head of the Department of Tree - Microbe Interactions INRAE, University of Lorraine Ecology of Forest Pathogenic Fungi team UMR1136 IAM F-54280 Champenoux FRANCE E-mail:pascal.frey@inrae.fr https://mycor.nancy.inra.fr/IAM/?page_id=731 -------- Message transféré -------- Sujet : Symposium on losses to pathogens and pests in agriculture and forestry Date : Fri, 11 Oct 2024 09:00:50 +0200 De : Serge Savary <ssavary01(a)gmail.com> Pour : Pascal Frey <pascal.frey(a)inrae.fr> Copie à : Andrea Ficke <Andrea.Ficke(a)nibio.no>, Neil McRoberts <nmcroberts(a)ucdavis.edu> Dear Pascal, There are discussions ongoing on the above subject. The question of losses to pathogens and pests has not been addressed in a formal methodology text for nearly 5 decades. An update is long overdue. We're working, with Andrea Ficke, NIBIO, as lead (Chair of the Crop Loss Committee of the ISPP) on the organisation of an international symposium which would address all the new techniques/methods/technologies to address losses to pathogens and pests. The FAO has indicated its support. The ongoing discussions are about the goal and contents of this symposium, its participants, and its outputs (e.g., a small book). It would be exceedingly important that forest pathology be properly represented in the ongoing discussions, and of course the symposium itself. Forest Pathology, I am sure, has its own way of looking at things, its own logic/paradigms, and its own methods. These need to be reported / documented / explained / illustrated with simple examples anyone, anywhere in the world, can understand). I am writing to you to ask you if you could find the time to attend those meetings, and participate in the discussions. Also, it would be very good if you could indicate to us colleagues in Forest Pathology who could participate. These could be colleagues in France, or anywhere else in the world. I am in India currently, away from my usual files, and battling against (most) unreliable internet. It may be that I already reached tout to you. In that case, please accept my apologies. I am not trying to put any pressure. Any advice that you could have to Andrea, Neil, and me, would be most helpful. With very best wishes, Serge PS the next meeting will be on one of these dates: 25, 28, 29 october, 6, 7, 8 November - at 2 to 4 pm, irrespective of the date chosen. If ever you're available, please let Andrea know your preferred dates. Anyone of the colleagues you know, and who would be interested to attend, would be most welcome too. -- *Serge Savary* Editor-in-Chief, Food Security- www.springer.com/life+sci/agriculture/journal/12571 <http://www.springer.com/life+sci/agriculture/journal/12571> Adjunct Professor - IARI, New Delhi; Professor of Plant Pathology(Hon.), GBPUA&T, India Directeur de Recherche ORSTOM, IRD, INRA (Ret.); Visiting Scholar - UC Davis, USA; Guest Researcher, Univ. of Twente, ITC, The Netherlands; Chevalier du Mérite Agricole, France; Fellow, ISPP; APS ORCID: 0000-0002-6867-180X

SAVE THE DATE - 8th International Workshop on Resistance Mechanisms and Breeding in Forest Trees

by Caterina Villari

Dear colleagues and friends, please see attached the first announcement for the 8th International Workshop on Resistance Mechanisms and Breeding in Forest Trees "Putting promise to practice in the face of global challenges". The workshop is sponsored by the IUFRO working parties 7.03.11 “Tree Resistance to Insects and Pathogens” and 2.02.15 “Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines" and will take place on June 2 to 6, 2025, in Vernon, British Columbia. SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP: The Tree Resistance Workshops series provides an international forum to discuss the status and future plans for both tree resistance breeding programs and scientific research efforts in the field of tree resistance mechanisms against pathogens and insects. The topics of discussion will include, among others, conventional tree breeding initiatives, ecology and genetics of resistance and tree-antagonistic relationships in natural and managed tree populations, mechanisms of recognition and signaling of biotic damage and plant defensive strategies, comparative genomics, GWAS, genomic selection and other genomic initiatives looking for resistance, interactive effects of climate change and abiotic stressors with biotic resistance, the role of microbiome in resistance, and new methods, technology, and tools for resistance screening. The primary audience is those involved with operational breeding programs as well as academic researchers and extension professionals. We welcome the participation of students and early career professionals.

New Paper: Attracting and retaining women in forest entomology and forest pathology.

by Brigitte Burger

[Ein Bild, das Text, Schrift, Screenshot, Diagramm enth?lt. Automatisch generierte Beschreibung]Inclusion of women in the forest entomology and forest pathology workforce has been a difficult journey. While policies and resources exist for organizations and departments to increase diversity and retain women, there still exist large gaps in gender parity at forest research institutions globally. It is imperative that we better understand the barriers that exist for women in forest entomology and pathology so that more inclusive environments can be created that are welcoming towards women and other underrepresented groups. To assess these barriers and subsequent opportunities for improvement, we surveyed forest entomology and pathology professionals globally to ask about their experiences in the workforce. We also provide examples of trends in gender representation at relevant institutions. Barriers to success for women and men were very different; women experienced more barriers related to family caretaking while men experienced more barriers related to funding opportunities. These differences show where opportunities lie to better attract, support, and retain women in forest entomology and forest pathology. Although some trends in gender representation are promising, large gaps continue to exist which need to be addressed. Open access https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forpol.2023.103022 Citation: Jessica A.

Session description To conserve biodiversity, multiple approaches can be taken on the ground. This mini-symposium (Panel, Flash-talks & Posters) represents experts who focus on complementary aspects of conservation and reforestation; threat assessment, seed collecting and banking from wild trees, collective action and civic engagement, the roles of public gardens in conserving genetic resources, developing genetic resistance to pests to conserve biodiversity, and the importance of conserving genetic diversity in the face of pests and climate change. Seed is the unit by which biodiversity is propagated, and therefore, protected. There is ever increasing pollination disruption with shifting local climate conditions and more fragmented and degraded native ecosystems. As forests and genetic diversity are lost, so are mother trees for seed collection, in a time when people want to greatly scale reforestation efforts. In addition to potential declines in seed crops, global trade, biodiversity loss, and fragmentation increase the threat of emergent insect and pathogen outbreaks, resulting in local or range-wide extinction of iconic tree species. Therefore, there is a global need for threat assessments, seed collection and banking of native tree species. In the context of the above challenges and solutions, public gardens and arboreta are critical to the resilience of forests and society. In addition to acting as living collections, seed sources, and refugia of tree species, public gardens serve as biodiversity hotspots in cities, and meeting places for public and volunteer conservation efforts and outreach. As sentinels, trees in public gardens can be used to proactively detect emergent disease threats. Through collective action, exchange of information, public engagement, and local expert knowledge, "think global, act local" could be applied to aid proactive efforts to protect forest biodiversity from the next major pests across the world. Local experts and civic ecologists can accomplish this by collecting seed and observing trees in native environments, plantations, public gardens, and urban forests. Breeding or human-directed genetic improvement presents a practical solution for restoration of species that are impacted by emergent pest epidemics, climate change, or other threats. The utility of breeding to protect biodiversity also depends on the prior establishments of seed banks and other germplasm resources. It is critical to generate a prior understanding of the diversity of populations of tree species valued for their ecological, horticultural, or economic and commercial characteristics, the observed or potential effects of threats to those populations, and the role diversity could play in recovery of species.

XXVI IUFRO World Congress 2024 – session "Never waste pandemics: lessons learned from past forest disease outbreaks" - Last two days for application

by Nicola La Porta

Dear colleagues, In case you are planning to participate in the XXVI IUFRO World Congress in Stockholm, Sweden in 23-29 June 2024, please consider whether you would like to contribute to the session “*Never waste pandemics: lessons learned from past **forest disease** outbreaks”.* The session includes 15-minute talks plus questions and posters; submissions are still open at: https://iufro2024.com/call-for-congress-abstract. *Abstracts will be accepted until 2 June 2023.* *Never waste pandemics: lessons learned from past **forest disease* * outbreaks* Disturbances, whether abiotic or biotic in nature, are integral and necessary components of forest ecosystems. However, anthropogenic pressures and climate changes have contributed to the erosion of forest ecosystem resilience, frequently to a degree that the tipping point has been breached, this causing devastating consequences across landscapes, countries and even continents. With globalization and changes in climate patterns, both natural and planted forests are at risk from invasive exotic pathogens, which are exacerbated by extended drought cycles, extreme precipitation events and air pollution. As an example, owing to the scale of pandemic destruction, Ash dieback, Dutch Elm Disease, Chestnut Blight, along with White Pine Blister Rust, are, so far, among the most catastrophic biotic disturbances in forest. The list of devastating disturbances is long and novel drivers will keep arising in the globalized world due to ongoing climate warming. Experience so far tells that it is less costly to conserve nature than it is to restore it, so it is imperative we learn from experience to protect forests now. Our future relies on maintaining the ecosystem services provided by forest. The ongoing transition from a fossil fuel-based economy to a biobased economy is driven by the need to combat climate change, to protect the environment and to increase sustainability. This means we aim to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. When governmental roadmaps towards more carbon-neutral economies are drafted, the focus, concerning forests, is often only on the increase of forested area and management practices that facilitate forest growth. The underlying assumption is that forests are healthy and in different phases of growth, a demography that allows the balancing needed between carbon sequestration and a continuous flow of the biogenic material needed. However, pest and pathogen outbreaks, as history has shown, can severely disrupt our ambitions. In this session, we welcome presentations that address how the underlying ecological, societal as well as institutional and political drivers have contributed to the rise and scale of specific disturbances. We hope to highlight assessments of currently implemented strategies considering the lessons learned from past pandemic crises. Similarly, we hope to outline management and policy options that are not yet in force or which have not yet attained that are not yet in place or not yet as but that would be needed to successfully prevent and/or to circumvent future pandemic crises.

IUFRO2024: Session T5.1 "Artificial Intelligence in Forest Biometry: from predictions to understanding"

by FELIPE BRAVO OVIEDO

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the session organisers, I would like to invite you to submit abstracts for oral talks and posters as part of T5.1 entitled "Artificial Intelligence in Forest Biometry: from predictions to understanding" of the IUFRO World Congress held at Stockholm on 23-39 June 2024. Please submit your abstracts by June 2nd 2023 at https://www.appinconf.com/kas/Abstract?projectName=iufro2024abstracts<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.appinconf.com/kas/Abstract?projectN…>. Best wishes, Felipe Bravo Session organisers: Felipe Bravo, Clara Antón-Fernández, Sheng-I Yang Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses a wide range of techniques and frameworks dating back tothe mid twenty century. The use of AI in forestry is relatively new, especially when compared to the early adoption of AI in other fields such as agriculture. In forest biometry, the irruption of AI spins researchers and practitioners to unfold the analysis of complex big data. Narrow AI, defined as an AI system that is specified to perform a limited task, is commonly applied in forest biometry (e.g., analysis of forest structure with 3D point cloud data). Currently, it is possible to efficiently prototype AI algorithms thanks to plenty of publicly available databases, open-source libraries, and the accessibilityto computing platforms. However, the application of AI in forest biometry is mainly focused on improving predictions. Due to the potential power of AI, opportunities are open to broad applications of AI, such as enhancing the understanding of forest processes. Thus, it is important to discuss, jointly with academia and industrialsectors, about the implications, limitations, and capabilities of this technology as an alternative quantitative method.

Invitation to submit abstracts for T1.34 entitled "Transitioning to Continuous Cover Forestry in Times of Climate Change and Energy Crisis"

by Brigitte Burger

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the session organisers, I would like to invite you to submit abstracts for oral talks and posters as part of T1.34 entitled "Transitioning to Continuous Cover Forestry in Times of Climate Change and Energy Crisis" of the IUFRO World Congress held at Stockholm on 23-39 June 2024. Please submit your abstracts by June 2nd 2023 at https://www.appinconf.com/kas/Abstract?projectName=iufro2024abstracts. Best wishes, Arne Pommerening Session organisers: Arne Pommerening, Aine Ni Dhubhain, Jørgen Bo Larsen, Per Angelstam, Hubert Hasenauer T1.34 Transitioning to Continuous Cover Forestry in Times of Climate Change and Energy Crisis Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF) is forest management based on ecological principles with a view to avoid degradation effects. Throughout the world and in the literature the concept goes by many semi-synonyms which do not exactly mean the same but are headed approximately into the same direction. For example, one of these semi-synonyms is nature-based forest management. CCF has a long history in Central Europe but is comparatively new to other parts of the world. Currently the popularity of CCF is on the increase again for its potential to mitigate climate change, to increase or at least maintain biodiversity in forest ecosystems, to provide valuable tools for forest conservation and to enhance the appeal of woodlands used for recreation. Recently the EU forest strategy for 2030 stated clearcutting should be “used only in duly justified cases, for example, when proven necessary for environmental or ecosystem health reasons” and the strategy promotes “the creation or maintenance at stand and landscape level of genetically and functionally diverse, mixed‐species forests.” Early in 2022, the European Forest Institute (EFI) has launched a new strategy underpinning CCF principles with scientific evidence. It is particularly the early phase of transitioning towards CCF, i.e. the introduction of CCF to a country or region where this management type has not been commonly used before, which usually constitutes a major challenge for forest practice and stakeholders. For example, this was the situation 20 years ago in Ireland and in the UK and CCF is now being considered for introduction in the congress host country Sweden. A long-standing and crucial question is how natural disturbances can be more directly included in the design of CCF methods. The recent global energy crisis has added another challenging facet to implementing CCF and methods like the coppice selection system and coppice with standards may now assume greater importance than they did in the past. A topic close to the heart of forest practice is the important question how, in the context of these current challenges, the sustainability of ecosystem goods and services can be ensured in CCF and its variants. Effective methods of safeguarding ecosystem goods and services may, for example, require forest inventory designs to be adopted. --- Arne Pommerening, PhD (Göttingen), Habilitation (Vienna) Professor in Mathematical Statistics Applied to Forest Sciences Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences SLU Faculty of Forest Sciences Department of Forest Ecology and Management Skogsmarksgränd 17 SE-901 83 Umeå Sweden http://www.pommerening.org<http://www.pommerening.org/> http://blogg.slu.se/forest-biometrics Twitter: @ArneTanYrOnnen New textbook: Individual-based methods in forest ecology and management<https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030245276> New book on academic mentoring: Staying on top in academia<https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030654665>

Time to submit presentation abstracts for IUFRO 2024 Sessions

by Geoffrey Williams

Dear IUFRO Division 7, We invite you to submit “Resilience of Forest Biodiversity to Climate Change and Pests: Civic Engagement and Conservation in Seed Banks, Public Gardens, and Wild, Urban, and Agroforestry Landscapes”. This session is organized by members of the Society of American Foresters, Kew Gardens, Morton Arboretum, and the US Forest Service, and one of eight linked to the International Society of Tropical Foresters. The deadline for abstract submissions is 2 June 2023 (3 weeks from today). The session proposal is included below. NOTE: Presently, we cannot offer funding for travel and registration; we are exploring options and appreciate any leads you may have. *Session description* To conserve biodiversity, multiple approaches can be taken on the ground. This mini-symposium (Panel, Flash-talks & Posters) represents experts who focus on complementary aspects of conservation and reforestation; threat assessment, seed collecting and banking from wild trees, collective action and civic engagement, the roles of public gardens in conserving genetic resources, developing genetic resistance to pests to conserve biodiversity, and the importance of conserving genetic diversity in the face of pests and climate change. Seed is the unit by which biodiversity is propagated, and therefore, protected. There is ever increasing pollination disruption with shifting local climate conditions and more fragmented and degraded native ecosystems. As forests and genetic diversity are lost, so are mother trees for seed collection, in a time when people want to greatly scale reforestation efforts. In addition to potential declines in seed crops, global trade, biodiversity loss, and fragmentation increase the threat of emergent insect and pathogen outbreaks, resulting in local or range-wide extinction of iconic tree species. Therefore, there is a global need for threat assessments, seed collection and banking of native tree species. In the context of the above challenges and solutions, public gardens and arboreta are critical to the resilience of forests and society. In addition to acting as living collections, seed sources, and refugia of tree species, public gardens serve as biodiversity hotspots in cities, and meeting places for public and volunteer conservation efforts and outreach. As sentinels, trees in public gardens can be used to proactively detect emergent disease threats. Through collective action, exchange of information, public engagement, and local expert knowledge, “think global, act local” could be applied to aid proactive efforts to protect forest biodiversity from the next major pests across the world. Local experts and civic ecologists can accomplish this by collecting seed and observing trees in native environments, plantations, public gardens, and urban forests. Breeding or human-directed genetic improvement presents a practical solution for restoration of species that are impacted by emergent pest epidemics, climate change, or other threats. The utility of breeding to protect biodiversity also depends on the prior establishments of seed banks and other germplasm resources. It is critical to generate a prior understanding of the diversity of populations of tree species valued for their ecological, horticultural, or economic and commercial characteristics, the observed or potential effects of threats to those populations, and the role diversity could play in recovery of species. *Topic areas* 1: collecting seed, 2: seed banking, 3: assessing threats, 4: think global act local to address threats with civic ecology and urban forests and botanical gardens, 5: public gardens supporting conservation efforts, and 6/7: developing genetic resistance to conserve biodiversity and conserving biodiversity. *Abstract submission details* The call for abstracts for IUFRO 2024 is at https://iufro2024.com/call-for-congress-abstracts/.

Soliciting submissions for session T2.6 IUFRO World Congress 2024

by Brigitte Burger

From: Ramsfield, Tod <tod.ramsfield(a)NRCan-RNCan.gc.ca> Sent: Thursday, May 4, 2023 1:05 AM Dear All, Division 5 and Division 7 have come together to develop technical session T2.6 for the upcoming IUFRO World Congress. The title of the session is "Ensuring healthy trees for high quality wood products" and the objective of the session is to encourage collaboration between specialists in wood science and forest health. Session description: The production of high quality forest products is directly reliant upon desired raw material quality, i.e. disease-free, clear wood harvested from healthy trees. When stems are infected by forest pathogens, end products can be compromised by inferior wood, or the production cycle suffers unacceptably high levels of waste creation. Infection of non-merchantable parts of the tree, such as foliage, result in decreased overall productivity, leading to increased rotation length and an extended period between planting and harvest. For these reasons, forest pathologists in Division 7 and wood scientists in Division 5 have come together in this session to discuss how to optimize wood production for the future forest products. Topics that will be discussed include canker pathogens of commercial species and the assessment of defect, non-destructive testing to detect heart rot within commercially important trees, the effects of foliar pathogens on growth and how to mitigate losses, assessment of degrade, industrial processes to optimize production from inferior wood, and the planting of resilient forests that can withstand the anticipated effects of climate change and stress. We have suggested a diverse group of speakers from both divisions that are able to examine this issue from different perspectives but are united in their desire to optimize forest productivity. If this session is relevant to your work, we hope that you will consider submitting an abstract. Best regards, Tod Ramsfield, Pekka Saranpaa, and Isabel Munck, session organizers.

Session title: Needle diseases of conifers: a globally rising threat to natural and planted forests Session number: T1.20 Session Description: The damage caused by foliar pathogens in coniferous forests is on the rise globally, causing severe concerns for the management of both planted and natural forests. While some pathogens are host specific, such as the causal agent of Swiss needle cast on Douglas fir, others, such as those in Dothistroma or Lecanosticta, colonize a variety of hosts. Regardless, they are causing sporadic outbreaks across the globe, likely due to climate change or the mostly accidental introduction of new strains into areas. Despite the numerous species that can be classified as needle diseases (e.g., those in the genera Coleosporuim, Dothistroma, Lecanosticta, Lophodermella, Lophodermium, Passalora, Phaeocryptopus, and Rhizosphaera, just to name a few), they have many traits in common, even across those colonizing different host species, and current research on needle diseases can benefit from exchanging experiences from different systems. This session will cover and welcome a broad range of topics related to both pathogens and endophytes of needles, including their origin and dispersal, their geographic distribution, management options, the differential susceptibility of their hosts, and their resistance mechanisms. We will also cover current advances in pathogen genomics and population genetics, as well as diagnostics. Session Organizers: Irene Barnes (FABI, South Africa), Michelle Cleary (SLU, Sweden), and Caterina Villari (UGA, USA). The session includes talks and posters and the deadline for submission is 2 June 2023: https://iufro2024.com/call-for-congress-abstract. We hope you will consider contributing to this session!

IUFRO Stockholm - technical session on forest genetics tools to improve forest resilience to climate change and forest health

by Caterina Villari

Dear all, Division 1 (Silviculture), Division 2 (Physiology and Genetics), and Division 7 (Forest Health) co-organized a technical session at the IUFRO Congress in Stockholm, 2024. The goal of the session is to showcase complementary research conducted within these divisions that can be brought together to address significant problems for future forests: “Forest genetics tools to improve forest resilience to climate change and forest health” - T1.12 Trees are under increasing threat from pathogens and pests that can potentially cause a reduction in growth and wood quality, increasing levels of tree mortality, and functional extinction of tree species and disruption of associated ecosystems. The effects of climate change are likely to increase the impacts of these biotic agents and lead to drastic changes in the dynamics of forest ecosystems. Genetics is a basic building block for organisms and species to evolve and help mitigate impacts of damaging biotic and abiotic agents and can be especially valuable in long-lived tree species. The use of forest genetic knowledge and tree breeding is a valuable tool in helping to ensure the forests of the future are healthy and resilient. The presentations in this proposed technical session will examine successful breeding programs for both commercial tree species and keystone tree species valued for a myriad of ecosystem services. Much of the current afforestation, reforestation, or restoration efforts use local seed sources, but under climate change, the adaptability of these populations may no longer be optimal; therefore, assisted migration is a tool widely being debated to replace or supplement local populations and help establish forests that will have the best chance of being healthy and resilient into the future. Success will require broad inter-disciplinary inputs from forest genetics, tree breeding, silviculture and forest health specialists at all stages of development and implementation. The technical session will address what is needed for success in both breeding and assisted migration, providing examples of successful applied programs and efforts that are underway. The current understanding of the genetics of the host-pathogen interaction will also be included. Understanding the interactions between hosts and pathogens may provide enhanced ways of increasing resistance to pathogens, such as targets for genetic engineering techniques. The topics addressed are broad but are all focussed on preventing forest trees from damage caused by pathogens. We will particularly encourage the participation of early career scientists and graduate students and invite posters to be presented. The session includes talks and posters and the deadline for submission is 2 June 2023: https://iufro2024.com/call-for-congress-abstract. We hope you will consider contributing to this session! Best regards, Caterina Villari, Rosario Garcia Gill, Tod Ramsfield, Santiago Gonzalez-Martinez, and Jens Peter Skovsgaard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Caterina Villari (she/her) Associate Professor Co-Director - Southern Pine Health Research Cooperative 706-389-5031 Office 706-542-0119 Lab cvillari(a)uga.edu Villari Forest Pathology Lab<https://warnell.uga.edu/about/centers-labs/villari-forest-pathology-lab> southernpinehealth.org<https://southernpinehealth.org/> D.B.

Forest Pathology Field Trip at ICPP2023, Lyon, France

by Pascal Frey

Dear Forest Pathologists, As you know, the International Congress of Plant Pathology (ICPP2023, https://www.icpp2023.org/) will take place in the beautiful city of Lyon, France, from August 20 to 25, 2023. During the congress, there will be at least 6 concurrent sessions devoted to forest or tree pathology. On behalf of the Forest Pathology Subject Matter Committee of the International Society of Plant Pathology (ISPP) and of IUFRO Division 7, Tod Ramsfield kindly asked me to organize a Forest Pathology Field ahead of the conference, as is the case at every ICPP. Together with three colleagues from the French Department of Forest Health (DSF), we have put together an exciting program for this excursion. The field trip will take place on *Saturday, August 19*, all day from 8am to 8pm. We will go to the Chautagne Forest, near the Bourget Lake in the Alps, about 2 hours by bus from Lyon, to discover several forest diseases (see attached file). The number of participants to this field trip will be *strictly limited to 50 persons* (1 bus) on a first come first served basis. Therefore, I would advise those interested *not to wait too long to register*. Registration for the field trip is already open and can be done at the same time as registration for ICPP by choosing among the satellite events (https://www.icpp2023.org/registration) The fee for the field trip is the same as for all other satellite events (90€ per person, including transportation, coffee break, lunch at restaurant, and visit of the Hautecombe Abbey). In addition, I would like to have an idea of how many forest pathologists would be interested in participating in this field trip. For this, please answer this very short survey (3 questions): https://evento.renater.fr/survey/icpp2023-forest-pathology-field-trip-2bl6u… Please note that this survey is purely indicative and does not replace your registration on the ICPP2023 website. I look forward to meeting many of you in Lyon in August!

IUFRO Stockholm technical session

by Beccy Ganley

Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to our technical session for the IUFRO Congress in Stockholm, 2024: “Improving biosecurity measures to better protect forests” Alien forest pests and pathogens continue to be spread globally through increased globalization and international trade. When established they can have devastating impacts on native, urban and commercial forests. In this session we discuss control and management tools to minimise the impacts of non native invasive pests and pathogens, as well as highlight new and emerging risks, and the threats they pose to forest ecosystems. Emerging risks include those where abiotic factors such as climate change may provide a changing environment conducive to insect and disease outbreaks. The session includes 15-minute talks and posters; submissions are now open: https://iufro2024.com/call-for-congress-abstract. Abstracts will be accepted until 2 June 2023. We look forward to receiving your submissions to this session. Kind regards, Beccy, Julio, Barbara and Hervé, session organisers.

Here is a link to the meeting and submission details and description: https://iufro2024.com/iufro-world-congress-2024/aim-and-scope/<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fiufro2024…> https://iufro2024.com/call-for-congress-abstract<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fiufro2024…> Technical Session: Global forests in a hotter and drier world: Assessing forest damage and tree mortality from climate change-accelerated insect outbreaks and infectious diseases". Global forest ecosystems are facing unprecedented climate conditions in many parts of the world. Over the last 50 years, observations are accumulating of increasing forest decline and tree mortality following hotter droughts, often caused and accelerated by biotic interactions with damaging insects and infectious diseases. The globalized trade market exacerbates this phenomenon by the displacement of biotic agents across natural barriers to naïve and thus highly vulnerable forest ecosystems. Given the importance that forests play for maintaining global biogeochemical cycles, human livelihood and welfare, and for providing essential ecosystem services, a thorough understanding of current and future states of global forests is badly needed for forest managements planning and, at a higher level, for policy decision making. Current assessments of forest damage and decline as well as rates of tree mortality are often of low spatial and temporal resolution and are not available for many regions across the globe, in particular the large forest regions of the Eurasian boreal forest and the tropical forests of South America and Africa. This session seeks to initiate a joint effort across scientific disciplines and administrative agencies concerned with forest damage assessments. The goal is to stimulate collaborations across regional and national boundaries with the aim to initiate an international (subcontinental to global) spatially-explicit database on forest damage. We welcome contributions from ground-based assessments of forest condition (e.g., national forest inventories) as well as from international initiatives for monitoring tree mortality and forest insects and diseases. Furthermore, we encourage submissions presenting new methodologies for detection and monitoring of biotic forest disturbances, in particular remote sensing approaches, as well as GIS-driven analytical assessments of forest insect and disease epidemiological dynamics. We look forward to receiving your submissions to this session.

XXVI IUFRO World Congress: REMINDER - Call for Session Proposals - 13 October 2022

by Brigitte Burger

[cid:eb505957bec3ddd0af3677fadb03baee@swift.generated]<https://www.iufro.org/> International Union of Forest Research Organizations XXVI IUFRO World Congress: REMINDER - Call for Session Proposals - 13 October 2022 [cid:fcaad79b10db770084a605b6ca441721@swift.generated] XXVI IUFRO World Congress 2024 FORESTS AND SOCIETY TOWARDS 2050 Stockholm, Sweden; 23-29 June 2024 Congress website: https://iufro2024.com/ XXVI IUFRO World Congress: REMINDER - CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS Deadline for proposals: 13 October 2022 The Congress Scientific Committee invites submission of session proposals for the 2024 IUFRO World Congress. In line with the spirit of the Congress title – Forest and Society towards 2050 ‐ the Congress Scientific Committee is developing a program that will highlight the forest contributions to the UN 2030 Agenda and its sustainable development goals and beyond. The Congress program will reflect the forest science community’s diverse contributions across the full range of natural and social science disciplines, with special emphasis on the themes and subthemes available at the Congress website (https://iufro2024.com/) Who may submit a session proposal? All who share an interest in the future of forests and forest-related science are invited to submit session proposals. We encourage proposals that involve collaboration between two or more IUFRO Divisions or Task Forces and/or with organizations not formally associated with IUFRO, and from university students at all levels. We strongly recommend IUFRO officeholders and others actively involved in IUFRO Research Groups, Working Parties, and Task Forces communicate with their respective Division representatives on the CSC (or Task Force coordinators) before submitting proposals – this will greatly facilitate broader involvement of IUFRO divisional units and Task Forces in the scientific program and avoid overlaps among sessions. Session proposals from non‐IUFRO member organizations are encouraged although preference will be given to those that are prepared jointly with IUFRO Divisional Units and Task Forces (see https://www.iufro.org/science<https://www.iufro.org/science/>/<https://www.iufro.org/science/> for more information). Type of sessions Two types of sessions may be proposed. Sub-plenary sessions are expected to attract a large audience (from 550 to 2000 people) and to address the major elements of one of the Congress themes (see below). Sub-themes expand the theme descriptions and do not necessarily translate into sub-plenary sessions. Technical sessions should also focus on Congress themes or sub-themes but may be more narrow in their scope and attract from 45 to 700 attendees. Sub-plenary session proposals that are not approved by the CSC will be considered for Technical sessions. Preparing and submitting a session proposal Proposals should be submitted in English, online at https://iufro2024.com/session-proposals. For questions and technical support about session submission, please contact abstracts.iufro2024(a)appinconf.com<mailto:abstracts.iufro2024@appinconf.com>. Proposals will not be accepted after 13 October 2022. Session proposals should include session title, moderator(s), description i.e. an abstract with the rationale of the session (400 words), organizers(s)’ details, suggested session time slot, alignment with Congress themes (ab. 100 words), session information with tentative titles and presenters, alignment with selection criteria (ab. 200 words), and relevant IUFRO Unit(s). Proposed sessions should be organized to be nominally 2 hours in length. For sessions involving oral presentations, we recommend that 15 min including discussion be adopted for standard oral presentations, and 30 min for sub-plenary talks. However, we encourage proponents to be innovative, and to consider panel discussions, interactive poster sessions and other session formats to engage Congress participants. Modification of accepted session proposals Please note that the abstract submission process will be open to all, so session organizers may need to include papers or posters that were not originally proposed for their sessions. Please be aware of this possibility and the need for flexibility in designing your session. In the event that the number of accepted abstracts for a particular session exceeds the number that can be accommodated in a single session, organizers may be given an additional session slot in the Congress program. Criteria for selection Session proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by members of the Congress Scientific Committee with primary consideration given to their scientific quality, relevance to the Congress themes, and geographic and gender diversity of proposed session organizers, moderators and proposed presenters. Other factors that will be considered are: the involvement of two or more IUFRO units (Divisions, Task Forces, Research Groups and Working Parties) and/or IUFRO and non‐IUFRO member organizations; and the involvement of students and early-career scientists and professionals. We strongly encourage submissions well in advance of the 13th October deadline. Acceptance decisions will be made no later than 17 January 2023. An open Call for Abstracts will be issued on 1 February 2023, with online abstract submission until 2 June 2023, and acceptance decisions provided by 30 October. The Congress timelines are available at the Congress website (https://iufro2024.com/) and below. Responsibilities of session organizers Session organizers of accepted proposals are expected to communicate with prospective presenters regarding submission of abstracts (online), will be asked to review abstracts submitted for their sessions during the abstract review period (i.e., from June to October 2023) and are in charge of language editing of the accepted abstracts. They are also responsible for ensuring that session moderators attend the Congress and are encouraged to pursue publication options for papers presented in their sessions. Formal Congress proceedings with full papers will not be published. Session organizers, moderators and speakers will have to pay the Congress fee. We look forward to hearing from you and for your active participation in the design of an excellent scientific program for the 2024 IUFRO Congress in Stockholm, Sweden.

ITMN Online seminar on July 5, 4 pm CEST with Dr. David Galbraith on the Sensitivity of the Amazon forests to climate change

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 on *July 5, 4 pm CEST*, with: *Dr. David Galbraith* *Title: How does sensitivity to climate change vary across Amazon forests? Insights from ecophysiology, forest dynamics, remote sensing and modelling.* _Abstract_: There is a pressing need to better understand and predict the impacts of climate change on Amazon forests, given their important role in the Earth System. In this talk, I present new results that reveal how the sensitivity of Amazon forests to climate stressors varies across the Basin, drawing upon new plant functional trait data collection, forest inventory data analyses, remote sensing and ecosystem modelling. _Bio_: David Galbraith is Professor of Terrestrial Ecosystem Science at the School of Geography, University of Leeds. His research focuses on better understanding how global environmental change affects the biogeochemical cycling and dynamics of tropical forests, with a particular focus on the sensitivity of tropical ecosystems to water stress and high temperatures. He leads a multidisciplinary team of researchers that employ methodological approaches that encompass field-based ecophysiological measurements, forest inventory analysis, climate change experiments, remote sensing and modelling approaches. *Please register for the Zoom Webinar:* https://zoom.us/webinar/register/6116563382462/WN_3cURJ0PySYy7bwIBkSps4A Note that the talks might be recorded. *Previous seminars:* Seminar # 1: Matt Hansen - Global forest monitoring using satellite data https://youtu.be/snUSGNb9bAQ Seminar # 2: Flavia Costa - Tree mortality in the Amazon across local hydrological gradients: how water table depth may save or condemn trees as climate changes https://youtu.be/5wmzX9ldn4Q Seminar #3: Belinda Medlyn - Tree mortality in Australian ecosystems: past, present and future https://youtu.be/T6S9VKklbyc Seminar #4: Nate McDowell - Rising tree mortality in the Anthropocene https://youtu.be/vdAXQ8CibKA Seminar #5: Lisa Hülsmann - Tree mortality modeling – a tool for ecological inference and a challenge for projecting forest dynamics https://youtu.be/Yzsa0p7lq7c Seminar #6: Craig D Allen - The global emergence of hotter-drought drivers of forest disturbance tipping points https://youtu.be/5NlkIQOzl2Y Seminar #7: Yude Pan - Impacts of disturbances on leaf area index and productivity of terrestrial ecosystems https://youtu.be/mhHxGPVZXXE Seminar #8: Viacheslav Kharuk - Conifer decline and mortality in Siberia https://youtu.be/2X4ZoUQa8jA Seminar #9: Barbara Bentz - Recipes for Climate-Induced Bark Beetle-Caused Tree Mortality https://youtu.be/ddjMbYvuX6I Seminar #10: Ana Bastos - Climate variability, extremes, and attribution of high-impact ecological events: challenges and ways forward https://youtu.be/jhTwbQ6cffA Seminar #11: Bonaventure Ntirugulirwa - Mortality of Afrotropical trees in a temperature manipulation experiment: Result from the Rwanda TREE project https://youtu.be/n0CnDXudLf0 Seminar #12: Andreas Bolte - Forest mortality dynamics in Germany – how can we cope with it?t https://youtu.be/fSEMIp3_gSs -- -- --- Dr. (habil.)

by Brigitte Burger

[cid:image003.png@01D870F6.4F82AF60] [cid:image001.png@01D87102.071660D0] Protect, restore and sustainably use forests: building blocks for environmental and economic recovery Stockholm+50 Associated Event   Monday, 30 May 2022 15.00 -16.15 PM CEST   Register here: https://fao.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_NMpI_BzoTsCKa4SHmS1sHg   Forests and trees can play a crucial role in addressing planetary challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss while moving towards sustainable economies and increasing food security. The State of the World’s Forests 2022 (SOFO2022) provides three pathways to implement this new perspective of making development work with the environment: ‘protect’: measures for halting deforestation; ‘restore’: making land more productive, and ‘use’: investments in building economically viable green value chains that provide resilient livelihoods. SOFO2022 is a contribution to the implementation of SDG 15 (Life on Land) and the United Nations Strategic Plan for Forests and its Global Forest Goals. Important commitments regarding the world’s forests have been made at the United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties (UNFCCC COP26), the United Nations Environment Assembly 5.2 (UNEA 5.2), the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF17), and the Seoul Forest Declaration and the Ministerial Call on Sustainable wood adopted at World Forestry Congress (WFC) 2022. Join FAO and Members of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests in this discussion on interfaces between protection, restoration and sustainable use of forests as building blocks for a green recovery. Together they can conserve nature, better provide for human well-being, and contribute to inclusive recovery, build resilient and sustainable economies.   Additional information on the State of the World’s Forests<https://www.fao.org/publications/sofo/2022/en/>.   Agenda   Moderation: Alexander Buck, Executive Director, IUFRO * High-level opening Maria Helena Semedo, Deputy Director-General, FAO and Chair of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests * Setting the scene: Three building blocks: Protection, restoration, and sustainable use of forests John Parrotta, US Forest Service and President of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) * Panel discussion: Linking the interface between the three building blocks * Restore and use: the potential of agroforestry Johan Ekeström, Burgapha Agroforestry, Laos * Use and protect: Wood: a renewable construction material Petri Heino, Program Director, Wood building program, Ministry of the Environment, Finland * Protect and restore: ecosystem payments for carbon farming Gabriela Violeta Soto Nilo, Department for Climate Change and Environmental Services, National Forest Commission, Chile * Local actors and communities as partners on the ground Cécile Ndjebet, 2022 CPF Wangari Maathai Forest Champion * Open Discussion: Protection, restoration and sustainable use of forests: How can these three building blocks make development work with the environment? * Closing Remarks: Building forward: Investing into forest-based solutions Mirey Attalah, Coordinator Nature for Climate branch, UN Environment Programme, UNEP

ITMN Online seminar with Andreas Bolte, April 26 (4 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 on *April 26, 4 pm CEST*, with: *Prof. Dr. Andreas Bolte, Thünen Institute, Germany* *Title:******Forest mortality dynamics in Germany – how can we cope with it?*** _Abstract:_ In the last years forests in Germany have faced vitality decreases and mortality dynamics never seen before. About 25% of German forests are projected to be at risk for extensive disturbance events and ecosystem service losses within the next 30 years; their transformation to future resilient forests will cost billions of Euros. Based on an analysis of ongoing mortality dynamics and options for an adaptive forest management, solutions for future forest management will be discussed. _Bio:_ Andreas Bolte is a forest ecologist. He is head of the Thünen Institute of Forest Ecosystems, and Associated Professor for forest ecology at Göttingen University. For more than 20 years he is studying climate change impacts on forests and options to adapt them to future climate and site conditions. *Please register for the Zoom Webinar: * https://zoom.us/webinar/register/1216485606805/WN_1rS7ao5rRjCV5HGoiHxhMw Note that the talks might be recorded. * * *Previous seminars:* Seminar # 1: Matt Hansen - Global forest monitoring using satellite data https://youtu.be/snUSGNb9bAQ Seminar # 2: Flavia Costa - Tree mortality in the Amazon across local hydrological gradients: how water table depth may save or condemn trees as climate changes https://youtu.be/5wmzX9ldn4Q Seminar #3: Belinda Medlyn - Tree mortality in Australian ecosystems: past, present and future https://youtu.be/T6S9VKklbyc Seminar #4: Nate McDowell - Rising tree mortality in the Anthropocene https://youtu.be/vdAXQ8CibKA Seminar #5: Lisa Hülsmann - Tree mortality modeling – a tool for ecological inference and a challenge for projecting forest dynamics https://youtu.be/Yzsa0p7lq7c Seminar #6: Craig D Allen - The global emergence of hotter-drought drivers of forest disturbance tipping points https://youtu.be/5NlkIQOzl2Y <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NlkIQOzl2Y> Seminar #7: Yude Pan - Impacts of disturbances on leaf area index and productivity of terrestrial ecosystems https://youtu.be/mhHxGPVZXXE <https://youtu.be/mhHxGPVZXXE> Seminar #8: Viacheslav Kharuk - Conifer decline and mortality in Siberia https://youtu.be/2X4ZoUQa8jA <https://youtu.be/2X4ZoUQa8jA> Seminar #9: Barbara Bentz - Recipes for Climate-Induced Bark Beetle-Caused Tree Mortality https://youtu.be/ddjMbYvuX6I <https://youtu.be/ddjMbYvuX6I> Seminar #10: Ana Bastos - Climate variability, extremes, and attribution of high-impact ecological events: challenges and ways forward https://youtu.be/jhTwbQ6cffA <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhTwbQ6cffA> Seminar #11: Bonaventure Ntirugulirwa - Mortality of Afrotropical trees in a temperature manipulation experiment: Result from the Rwanda TREE project https://youtu.be/n0CnDXudLf0 * * *Visit us at:* https://www.tree-mortality.net/ https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/ --- Dr. (habil.)

Delayed conference WP7.02.01 Root and stem rots

by Brigitte Burger

Dear all root and stem rots scientists, I am terribly sorry to have to inform you and this late, that the root and stem rots conference must be delayed again. Three unfortunate reasons for this delay relates to 1) the pandemic, 2) the more recent war in Europe and 3) the fact that the use of the Division 7 sending list did only reach some few of you. We are still discussing how to proceed and one suggestion has been to postpone the Mexican organisation until 2025 to let them have a physical meeting and try to organize a digital version again this autumn in October. Many of us would really like to see the Mexican conditions and therefore not wasting their energy on a virtual conference later this year. I am terribly sorry for this extremely late information to many of you. I am indeed very humbled by the present situation. My very best regards and wishes for a more peaceful world Jonas Jonas Rönnberg Associate prof.

ITMN Online seminar with Bonaventure Ntirugulirwa March 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 on *March 15, 4 pm CET*, with: *Bonaventure Ntirugulirwa* *Title: **Mortality of Afrotropical trees in a temperature manipulation experiment: Result from the Rwanda TREE project* _Abstract:_ Knowledge on mortality responses of tropical trees and communities under projected warmer climate is limited. Trees in tropical montane forests (TMFs) are considered particularly vulnerable to climate change, but this hypothesis remains poorly evaluated due to data scarcity. To reduce the knowledge gap on the warming response of TMFs, we have established a field experiment along an elevation gradient ranging from 2400 m a.s.l. (15.2 °C mean temperature) to 1300 m a.s.l. (20.6 °C mean temperature) in Rwanda. Twenty tree species, native to East and Central Africa, from two forest types of origin (transitional rainforest at 1600 – 2000 m a.s.l, and TMF at 2000 – 3000 m a.s.l.) and two successional groups, early (ES) and late succession (LS), were planted in multispecies plots at three sites along the gradient. Tree growth and survival of 5400 trees was monitored regularly over two years. The results showed that ES trees from lower elevations grew faster at warmer sites while several of the LS species, especially from higher elevations, did not respond or grew slower. Moreover, tree mortality increased in a warmer climate and this was more pronounced in high-elevation and LS species compared to lower-elevation and ES tree species. ES species with transitional rainforest origin strongly increased in proportion of stand basal area at warmer sites, while tropical montane forest species declined, suggesting that higher-elevation and LS species are at risk to be outcompeted by lower-elevation and ES species in a warmer climate. We conclude that tree mortality and growth responses combined may lead to modified tree community composition in a warmer climate, favouring lower-elevation and ES tree species. This has important implications for biodiversity and carbon storage of Afromontane forests. _Bio:_ Bonaventure Ntirugulirwa is a research fellow in the Forest Productivity and Improvement Program at the Rwanda Forestry Authority of the Ministry of Environment in Rwanda. He is a PhD candidate at the University of Rwanda and at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. His research focus are native tree species, their relation to ecological regions, and the influence of climate change on growth and mortality. *Please register for the Zoom Webinar: * https://zoom.us/webinar/register/2716463846296/WN_KN6QanBkTQye_cLZyvFWKg Note that the talks might be recorded. * * *Previous seminars:* Seminar # 1: Matt Hansen - Global forest monitoring using satellite data https://youtu.be/snUSGNb9bAQ Seminar # 2: Flavia Costa - Tree mortality in the Amazon across local hydrological gradients: how water table depth may save or condemn trees as climate changes https://youtu.be/5wmzX9ldn4Q Seminar #3: Belinda Medlyn - Tree mortality in Australian ecosystems: past, present and future https://youtu.be/T6S9VKklbyc Seminar #4: Nate McDowell - Rising tree mortality in the Anthropocene https://youtu.be/vdAXQ8CibKA Seminar #5: Lisa Hülsmann - Tree mortality modeling – a tool for ecological inference and a challenge for projecting forest dynamics https://youtu.be/Yzsa0p7lq7c Seminar #6: Craig D Allen - The global emergence of hotter-drought drivers of forest disturbance tipping points https://youtu.be/5NlkIQOzl2Y <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NlkIQOzl2Y> Seminar #7: Yude Pan - Impacts of disturbances on leaf area index and productivity of terrestrial ecosystems https://youtu.be/mhHxGPVZXXE <https://youtu.be/mhHxGPVZXXE> Seminar #8: Viacheslav Kharuk - Conifer decline and mortality in Siberia https://youtu.be/2X4ZoUQa8jA <https://youtu.be/2X4ZoUQa8jA> Seminar #9: Barbara Bentz - Recipes for Climate-Induced Bark Beetle-Caused Tree Mortality https://youtu.be/ddjMbYvuX6I <https://youtu.be/ddjMbYvuX6I> Seminar #10: Ana Bastos - Climate variability, extremes, and attribution of high-impact ecological events: challenges and ways forward https://youtu.be/jhTwbQ6cffA <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhTwbQ6cffA> * * *Visit us at:* https://www.tree-mortality.net/ https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/ -- --- Dr. (habil.)

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 [Forest Service Shield] Isabel Munck Plant Pathologist Forest Service State and Private Forestry p: 603-868-7636 c: 603-833-5575 isabel.munck(a)usda.gov<mailto:isabel.munck@usda.gov> 271 Mast Rd Durham, NH 03824 www.fs.fed.us<https://www.fs.fed.us> [USDA Logo]<https://usda.gov/>[Forest Service Twitter]<https://twitter.com/forestservice>[USDA Facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/pages/US-Forest-Service/1431984283714112> Caring for the land and serving people This electronic message contains information generated by the USDA solely for the intended recipients.

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. *Please register for the Zoom Webinar: * https://zoom.us/webinar/register/4216438940390/WN_LtlBqI-FQCCj2nsaV82OGQ Note that the talks might be recorded. * * *Previous seminars:* Seminar # 1: Matt Hansen - Global forest monitoring using satellite data https://youtu.be/snUSGNb9bAQ Seminar # 2: Flavia Costa - Tree mortality in the Amazon across local hydrological gradients: how water table depth may save or condemn trees as climate changes https://youtu.be/5wmzX9ldn4Q Seminar #3: Belinda Medlyn - Tree mortality in Australian ecosystems: past, present and future https://youtu.be/T6S9VKklbyc Seminar #4: Nate McDowell - Rising tree mortality in the Anthropocene https://youtu.be/vdAXQ8CibKA Seminar #5: Lisa Hülsmann - Tree mortality modeling – a tool for ecological inference and a challenge for projecting forest dynamics https://youtu.be/Yzsa0p7lq7c Seminar #6: Craig D Allen - The global emergence of hotter-drought drivers of forest disturbance tipping points https://youtu.be/5NlkIQOzl2Y <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NlkIQOzl2Y> Seminar #7: Yude Pan - Impacts of disturbances on leaf area index and productivity of terrestrial ecosystems https://youtu.be/mhHxGPVZXXE <https://youtu.be/mhHxGPVZXXE> Seminar #8: Viacheslav Kharuk - Conifer decline and mortality in Siberia https://youtu.be/2X4ZoUQa8jA <https://youtu.be/2X4ZoUQa8jA> Seminar #9: Barbara Bentz - Recipes for Climate-Induced Bark Beetle-Caused Tree Mortality https://youtu.be/ddjMbYvuX6I <https://youtu.be/ddjMbYvuX6I> *Visit us at:* https://www.tree-mortality.net/ https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/ --- Dr. (habil.)

IUFRO Spotlight #91 - Forests and Water

by Brigitte Burger

[IUFRO Spotlight] [cid:e74597eee82f2dae6b5ca977fa18508f@swift.generated] IUFRO Spotlight #91 - Forests and Water IUFRO Spotlight is an initiative of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations. Its aim is to introduce, in a timely fashion, significant findings in forest research from IUFRO officeholders and member organizations to a worldwide network of decision makers, policy makers and researchers. IUFRO will encapsulate, and distribute in plain language, brief, topical and policy-relevant highlights of those findings, along with information on where/how to access the full documents. The IUFRO Spotlight findings will be distributed in a periodic series of emails as well as blog postings. Forests and Water Science-Policy-Practice Interface for Managing Forest and Water Interactions under a Changing Environment PDF for download<https://www.iufro.org/fileadmin/material/publications/spotlights/spotlight9…> [Photo showing a forest behind a lake. Photo: Kalexander73 on Pixabay.] Kalexander73 on Pixabay Water is fundamental to life on earth. What may not be quite so obvious is that forests are equally vital resources for life on the planet. And the two - water and forests - are inseparable in the pursuit of a sustainable and sustainably developed world. Therefore, forests and water resources have been identified as essential elements in adaptation to climate change. The IUFRO-sponsored Forests and Water science-policy forum at the IUFRO World Day provided a platform for scientists, forest managers and decision-makers from the Asia-Oceania region to share insights and experiences about forest and water interactions from different perspectives. Among the significant challenges discussed by the forum panelists were the increasing competition for water resources, the positive and negative impacts of carbon sequestration due to large scale afforestation and reforestation, climate change-related shifts in rainfall patterns and capacity building requirements among civil groups at various levels to ensure competent engagement in forest and water management. To address the challenges of competition for water, a range of technical, social and political actions have been suggested - technical advancements such as GIS, remote sensing and climate modelling to better understand the full hydrological cycle, targeted reforestation, better integration of planted forests in the wider landscape, good community engagement and tighter regulatory environments [Photo showing a lake surrounded by mountains, with forests. Photo: Vandaagevenniet on Pixabay] Vandaagevenniet on Pixabay Integrated watershed management was also advocated as a way to deal with the impact of changes in rainfall due to climate change. This varies across the region; in some areas such as Japan there have been record-breaking heavy rains, while in others there have been droughts. Forests play a crucial role in supplying clean water, help prevent environmental hazards such as soil erosion and flooding as well as ensuring many other ecological functions. Any forest changes - and their interactions with climate - can significantly affect water resources and water-related ecological functions and services. Therefore, managing forests for water provision is an important priority in various international initiatives (Bonn Challenge, UN SDGs etc.). In addition, there is an active agenda to use reforestation for landscape restoration and to mitigate rising atmospheric carbon dioxide content. The forum panelists also underlined that communicating and sharing technical advances and policies must be strengthened to ensure that research on forest and water interactions in a changing environment is appropriately addressed. The opening address for the forum was delivered by IUFRO Vice President Liu Shirong of the Chinese Academy of Forestry. Keynote presentations were given by Meine van Noordwijk, World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), Nairobi, Kenya; and by Richard Harper of Murdoch University, Perth, Australia. Richard Harper is also Deputy Coordinator of IUFRO's Task Force on Forests and Water Interactions in a Changing Environment. The panel discussion featured: Brenda Baillie, Northland Regional Council, New Zealand; Mingfang Zhang, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China; Kyoichi Otsuki, Kyushu University, Japan; Diomedes A. Racelis, University of the Philippines Los Baños, Philippines; and Hyung Tae Choi, National Institute of Forest Science, Republic of Korea. The online discussion was one of three science-policy forums organized for IUFRO World Day. (The other two - Forests and Fire and Forest-based Bioeconomy for All - will be covered in separate Spotlights.)

It comprised 24 hours of forest-related research topics, networking, and emerging issues of relevancy for global policy makers. The event was designed to showcase the diversity of the IUFRO network, including IUFRO's scientific units and IUFRO's member organizations, to facilitate networking, and to enhance communication and outreach. The World Day comprised 79 live sessions from IUFRO Units and Members - including the three forums mentioned above - covering highly relevant topics for policy makers as well as three central IUFRO sessions, one in each time zone. Over 3000 participants from more than 100 countries registered for the event.

IUFRO 16th Root and stem rots conference

by Jonas Rönnberg

Dear all, We earlier had to inform you the root and stem rots conference originally planned for October this autumn had to be postponed until spring 2022. The 16th IUFRO root and stem rots conference is now scheduled as a virtual conference in mid March 2022, 14-17/3. You are welcome to visit the official website where all the information will be posted: https://www.uv.mx/16-iufro/ Deadline for abstracts is January 31st 2022. A small fee will be asked from the participants for which you will not just be offered to listen to other researchers but also some cultural surprises. The idea is also that part of the fee will go towards paying the membership fee in IUFRO for the University. The fee is set to 20 USD for students and 50 USD for researchers and other professionals. The conference itself will be divided into four days, 14-17th of March. Each day will offer three hours of talks and events. It will be possible to give a normal presentation, 10+5 minutes, and also short speed talks based on "posters". There will be condensed keynotes as well, 20+5 minutes. A bit depending on the technology, pre-recorded presentations might be asked for. More information will come regarding this. We have decided to have a more old-fashioned styled conference without a strict theme. We think that we are already working with a globalized climatically changing world so we welcome any kind of relevant presentation to our working party. You are though welcome to propose keynote speakers. We will strive for interesting science but would also like to see a representation spanning over different gender and career stages. You can send your proposals to me or directly to Rosario Medel: medel.rosario(a)gmail.com<mailto:medel.rosario@gmail.com> On behalf of the Mexican organizing committee Jonas Jonas Rönnberg Associate prof.

ITMN Online seminar with Viacheslav Kharuk December 9 (2 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 *December 9, 2 pm CET / 4 pm MSK*, with: *Dr. Viacheslav Kharuk* *Title: Conifer decline and mortality in Siberia*** _Abstract:_ Conifer decline and mortality in the 21st century has been observed all over the boreal forests zone (e.g., Boyd et al., 2019), Europe (e.g., Hasenauer, & Seidl, 2017), and Russia (e.g., Kharuk et al., 2020). This report focused mostly on the causes of Siberian pine (/Pinus sibirica/ Du Tour.) and fir (/Abies sibirica/ Ledeb) decline and mortality in Siberia. In addition, recent insect (/Zeiraphera griseana/) and fungi (/Melampsora/ sp.) attacks on the /Larix sibirica/ stands are considered. Results 1. Warming caused northward and uphill migration of the Siberian moth (/Dendrolimus sibiricus/ Tschetv.) outbreaks range into the former pristine taiga. 2. Siberian fir mortality caused by the synergy of bark-beetles (/Polygraphus proximus/ Blandford.) attacks and water stress. 3. Siberian pine and fir forest mortality preceded by trees growth index (GI) reduction caused by elevated air temperatures, acute droughts and following on insect attacks. 4. In mountains forest mortality observed mostly at low elevations, whereas within the areas with sufficient moisture availability (i.e., at elevations above ~1000 m) trees GI and forest area are increasing. 5.

FW: IUFRO WP 7.03.16 Graduate Student Webinar Series in 2022

by Allison, Jeremy

I am writing you on behalf of IUFRO WP 7.03.16 to let you know about a new initiative to highlight graduate student research on the behavioural and chemical ecology of forest insects. Beginning in January 2022 we will host a series of three webinars that will provide a platform for graduate students to present their work and develop their networks. Talks will be pre-recorded and submitted in advance of each symposia for judging. The top three from each region will be presented for a total of six student presentations per symposia. The best talk from each region (i.e., two will be selected from each symposia) will be recognized and our goal is to offer financial assistance to each winner to attend the IUFRO All-Division 7 meeting in 2022 in Portugal where the winners will present their talks in a symposium highlighting student research in the working party (the symposia has been approved by the organizing committee of the All-Division 7 meeting and we have some funding already secured). The first webinar will occur 24-January at 12:00 UTC and will have talks from graduate students studying in Europe (n=3) and Africa (n=3). The second webinar will occur 21-February at 18:00 UTC and will have talks from graduate students studying in North America (n=3) and Central/South America (n=3). The third webinar will occur 28-March at 04:00 UTC and will have talks from graduate students studying in Asia (n=3) and Oceania (n=3). We ask your assistance in bringing this webinar series to the attention of anyone interested in attending and watching, and in particular helping make graduate students aware of this opportunity. Anyone interested in participating needs to visit the registration page (see https://www.fabinet.up.ac.za/index.php/event/IUFRO_WP_7.03.16_Mentoring_Pro…<https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fabin…>). Although only the top three talks from each region will be played in the webinars, all submitted talks will be uploaded to the WP 7.03.16 YouTube page where they can be viewed. Registration is now open and in a few weeks we will be contacting students interested in participating to explain deadlines and the submission process. Thank you for your assistance. Best wishes, Jeremy, Sigrid, Andres and Quentin IUFRO WP 7.03.16

Education is a key lifeline for world's forests

by Brigitte Burger

Education is a key lifeline for world's forests New survey points out that forest education must be strengthened to meet global challenges [Ein Bild, das Baum, draußen, Pflanze, Boden enthält. Automatisch generierte Beschreibung] 22 June 2021, Rome - Forest education at all levels – from primary schools to universities – is insufficient in many countries of the world, according to the results of a global survey led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Tropical Timber Organizations (ITTO) and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) with the support of other international and regional partners. According to the survey, more must be done to improve forest education in many parts of the world. While forest education has evolved and the number, diversity and qualifications of graduates have increased in most regions, forest education resources are insufficient or limited in large parts of the global South. The survey also found that, in most regions, primary and secondary schools are not effectively educating students about forests and trees, or motivating them to pursue forest-related studies and careers. Graduates' understanding of cultural and social aspects of forest and tree management is often limited. Innovative teaching approaches, digital tools and online learning resources are not adequately employed in many regions, and forest education in entrepreneurship and for the preparation of students for the growing green jobs sector is not sufficient in most regions. "The sustainable management of forests and trees is crucial to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We must reverse deforestation and forest degradation and manage forest resources sustainably," said FAO Deputy-Director General Maria-Helena Semedo in her opening speech at the event. "To do this, we need a well-trained cadre of forest managers, workers, policy makers, scientists and educators. We also need the rich and valuable forest knowledge and skills of local communities and Indigenous Peoples. We urgently need to strengthen all levels of formal education - the forest workforce of the future." International Conference on Forest Education Key findings of the survey were unveiled at the International Conference on Forest Education, a three-day event running from 22 – 24 June to shine a light on the important role forest education plays in maximizing the contributions of forests and trees to the Sustainable Development Goals, and for overcoming the growing disconnect between people, nature and forests. The conference is organized by FAO, ITTO and IUFRO, and is supported by the Government of Germany. During the event, participants<http://www.fao.org/3/cb4723en/cb4723en.pdf> discussed the current state of forest education, sharing their experiences and perspectives through discussions of key challenges, needs, opportunities and initiatives to strengthen forest education. It was agreed that robust forest education and training programmes are vital if we are to reduce the rate of deforestation and forest degradation, protect and restore ecosystems, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and realise the full contributions of forests and trees to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Participants took advantage of the event to endorse a global Call to Action on forest education. The aim is to raise awareness of the need to strengthen policies and strategies to improve forest learning at all levels of education, heighten awareness of the societal importance of careers in forestry, and improve understanding of traditional and indigenous forest-related knowledge. Steve Johnson, ITTO's Officer-in-charge, endorsed the Call to Action saying that "forests are where most of us learn about the importance of nature in our lives." "Education and training on forest management is also crucial to ensure forest sustainability and productivity into the future, as well as for developing an informed population that appreciates the many complexities of Sustainable Forest Management. ITTO will continue to contribute to forest education and training throughout the tropics, including through our ground-breaking fellowship program that commenced making awards nearly 30 years ago" he added. IUFRO President John Parrotta also confirmed the need to strengthen forest education globally. "IUFRO seeks to advance updating of forestry related curriculums, promote innovative and improved teaching approaches and techniques, and help address key gaps in forest education worldwide," he said. The Call to Action will be open online for a short period after the event to encourage other stakeholders and actors to endorse the message. Launch of Forest Education Partnership The three-day event concluded with the launch by the Collaborative Partnership on Forests<http://www.fao.org/policy-support/mechanisms/mechanisms-details/en/c/428692/> of a Joint Initiative on Forest Education<http://www.fao.org/forestry/forest-education/98724/en/>, which aims to catalyse action, generate increased awareness and support, and foster partnerships for forest education. In doing so, it plans to establish a Forest Education Partnership, launch an online platform to facilitate information dissemination and networking on forest education, work to improve forest education curricula and training systems and run a global communications campaign to encourage young people to pursue forest-related careers. ***************************************** News article by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/1413180/

International Conference on Forest Education kicks off

by Brigitte Burger

Delegates from around the world meet to explore ways to boost forest education. 22 June 2021, Rome - Today sees the start of the International Conference on Forest Education<http://www.fao.org/forestry/forest-education/conference/en/> - a three-day event to shine a light on the important role forest education plays in maximizing the contributions of forests and trees to the Sustainable Development Goals and in overcoming the growing disconnect between people, nature and forests. Over a thousand experts are attending the conference, which is organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Tropical Timber Organizations (ITTO) and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), CIFOR-ICRAF and the Secretariats of the UN Forum on Forests and UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, with support from Germany. The results of a global survey on forest education at all levels - from primary schools to universities - will be announced at the conference, which builds on a year-long effort by the FAO-ITTO-IUFRO Global Forest Education Project<http://www.fao.org/forestry/forest-education/en/> to collect, synthesise and verify the status of forest education. "Forests are vital for combatting climate change, for the livelihoods of forest-dependent people, and for providing a secure future for generations to come," said FAO Deputy-Director General Maria-Helena Semedo. "Yet around the world, the environmental, societal and economic importance of forests is being overlooked. We urgently need to revitalize forest education so more people come to value forests for the vital natural resource they are." The conference aims to help chart a path forward for forest education globally. Delegates including policy-makers, forest educators and forestry students will review the three pillars of forest education and knowledge: formal forest education; non-formal and informal education; and traditional and indigenous knowledge systems. Themes that will be tackled include addressing gender and ethnicity in forest education; tailoring forest education to the needs of the job market; bringing forests into the lives of primary and secondary schoolchildren; improving the quality of forest education at tertiary level; redressing out-dated perceptions of forest careers through strategic communications; and tapping into digital opportunities to strengthen forest education. New digital tools to improve forest education Two new digital tools, which will help drive forward improvements in forest education, will also be unveiled at the conference. forestra is a new online gateway to global forest education which has been created under the leadership of IUFRO as part of a joint project with FAO-IUFRO-ITTO. forestra will store and facilitate sharing of information on tertiary education, technical and vocational education and training (both short and long-term), and forest-related public environmental education. "As the world becomes more digitally connected, the opportunity for online resource access grows", said IUFRO President John Parrotta. "The forestra platform has been developed to facilitate this access to knowledge and information related to forest education through an innovative user-friendly search function. It will create connections between education, training and forest-related environmental awareness initiatives at all levels around the world." In addition, a free online course on Legal and Sustainable Supply Chains (LSSC)<https://lsscourse.com/course/> in the timber industry, developed under the leadership of ITTO, will help support several audiences, including businesses, to meet market requirements. "The livelihoods of millions of people around the world depend on timber, but these are increasingly under threat from illegal and unsustainable practices," said Steve Johnson, Officer-in-charge, ITTO. "This course will help entrepreneurs, forestry professionals, government officials and students understand best practices in the timber industry while also helping to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals." Delegates will be invited to endorse a Call to Action on Forest Education at the end of the conference that outlines key actions to strengthen forest education, training and knowledge sharing. The Call to Action will be open online for endorsement by others after the conference. ************************************* Related links International Conference on Forest Education<http://www.fao.org/forestry/forest-education/conference/en/> Global Forest Education Project<http://www.fao.org/forestry/forest-education/en/> forestra [link when live] Online course on Legal and Sustainable Supply Chains (LSSC)<https://lsscourse.com/course/> [link when live]

ITMN Online seminar with Craig D. Allen June 22 (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 *June 22, 5 pm CEST*, with: *Dr. Craig D. Allen* *Title: The global emergence of hotter-drought drivers of forest disturbance tipping points* _Abstract:_ Current research is presented on global-scale patterns and trends of forest responses to increasingly hotter droughts, particularly extensive tree mortality and forest die-offs involving a range of interactive disturbances (e.g., water stress, insect outbreaks, high-severity wildfire). Diverse cross-scale observations and empirical findings increasingly indicate that amelioration of hotter-drought stress via fertilization of photosynthesis from elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations may soon be overwhelmed by heat and accelerated atmospheric drought. These findings highlight some current challenges in realistically projecting the future of global forest ecosystems (and their associated carbon pools and fluxes) with process-based Earth system models. In particular there is substantial evidence that forests dominated by larger, older trees may be disproportionately vulnerable to increased growth stress and mortality under hotter-drought conditions. The fates of these old trees in response to global change are of vital importance, given that they are essential as: a) disproportionately large carbon sinks; b) among the most biodiverse and rare terrestrial ecosystems; c) irreplaceable archives of environmental history; and d) venerated for many cultural reasons. Key scientific uncertainties that impede modeling progress are outlined, and examples of promising empirical modeling approaches are illustrated. _Bio:_ Craig D. Allen is an adjunct professor in the Department of Geography & Environmental Studies at the University of New Mexico. He recently retired as a research ecologist and founding leader of the New Mexico Landscapes Field Station for the U.S. Geological Survey, based at Bandelier National Monument in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico, where he has conducted ecological research since 1981. Craig conducts place-based, long-term research on the ecology and environmental history of southwestern US landscapes, and the responses of western US mountain ecosystems and forests globally to climate change, with many international collaborations. Since 1986 his office has been co-located with land managers at Bandelier National Monument where he continues to collaboratively volunteer, reflecting his commitment to provide scientific and technical support to diverse land management agencies, Native American tribes, and governmental and non-governmental organizations. Craig received B.S. and M.S. degrees in Geography from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a Ph.D. in Wildland Resource Science (forest & landscape ecology, conservation biology) from the University of California-Berkeley. He is an elected fellow of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). *Please register for the Zoom Webinar: * https://zoom.us/webinar/register/8116233165351/WN_ge7sLbEyS16YUUA5FAJ9Ig <https://zoom.us/webinar/register/8116233165351/WN_ge7sLbEyS16YUUA5FAJ9Ig> Note that the talks might be recorded. * * *Previous seminars:* Seminar # 1: Matt Hansen - Global forest monitoring using satellite data https://youtu.be/snUSGNb9bAQ <https://youtu.be/snUSGNb9bAQ> Seminar # 2: Flavia Costa - Tree mortality in the Amazon https://youtu.be/5wmzX9ldn4Q <https://youtu.be/5wmzX9ldn4Q> Seminar #3: Belinda Medlyn https://youtu.be/T6S9VKklbyc <https://youtu.be/T6S9VKklbyc> Seminar #4: Nate McDowell https://youtu.be/vdAXQ8CibKA <https://youtu.be/vdAXQ8CibKA> Seminar #5: Lisa Hülsmann https://youtu.be/Yzsa0p7lq7c <https://youtu.be/Yzsa0p7lq7c> *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.)

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.)

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.)

FABI International Seminar with Dr Andrew (Sandy) Liebhold

by Brigitte Burger

Dear IUFRO FRIENDS Please consider attending the upcoming FABI International Seminar (29th April at 16h00 GMT +2) to be presented by Dr Andrew (Sandy) Liebhold. Sandy is very well known to the IUFRO Community having (for example) served Division 7 (Tree Health) Co-ordinator and Chair of the Scientific Committee for our 125th Anniversary Congress in Freiburg in 2017. If you are interested in tree health, biological invasions or forests and forestry in general - this will be a seminar for you to enjoy. To attend, it is necessary to register -please do so at https://www.fabinet.up.ac.za/index.php/event/FABISerminarSeries/ Background information on Sandy’s talk can be found below and details of the FABI International Seminar Series is on the web site above. Best regards Mike [signature_678126525] April, 2021 [cid:image002.jpg@01D735D0.F171B670] Speaker: Dr Andrew Liebhold, US Forest Service Northern Research Station, Morgantown, WV USA Title: Macroecology of Insect Invasions Date: 29 April 2021 Time: 16:00 (GMT+2) Abstract: Biological invasions are largely an unintended consequence of globalization. With increasing mobility, humans have accidentally transported organisms around the world, breaking the geographical boundaries that separated species ranges that persisted for millions of years of evolution. Among animals, the insecta is the most species-rich class, with thousands of insect species having been established outside of their native ranges and many of these species causing immense impacts on agriculture, human health and conservation of native ecosystems. Here, I report on a macroecological analysis of historical insect invasions spanning 300 years and 10 world regions. These data are used to compare frequencies of invasions among different insect orders and among different insect families. Species-area relationships for native insect assemblages are generally stronger than for non-native insect assemblages. Certain groups, such as the Hemiptera, Formicidae and the Staphylinidae are generally over-represented in non-native insect assemblages, while other taxa are under-represented. These patterns generally reflect characteristics of these insects that cause them to enter important invasion pathways and biological characteristics that facilitate invasions. These results ultimately allow us to better understand the socio-economic drivers of insect invasions and can be of use when conducting invasive pest risk analysis. Biography: Andrew “Sandy” Liebhold has been a research entomologist with the US Forest Service Northern Research Station, Morgantown, WV USA since 1988. His research focuses on the ecology and management of biological invasions and the spatial dynamics of insect outbreaks. Liebhold received his PhD in Entomology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1984 and worked as a postdoctoral at the University of Massachusetts before joining the Forest Service. He is a fellow of the AAAS and serves on the editorial board of the journals Population Ecology and Biological Invasions. He also currently serves as a scientific coordinator with the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Science, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague and a visiting scholar with Scion Research in New Zealand.

WATCH NOW ONLINE Seminar by Nate McDowell on tree mortality in the Anthropocene

by Henrik Hartmann

Dear all, Seminar #4 of the International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO Task Force on Monitoring Trends and Patterns of Global Tree Mortality, is now available online. Watch this seminar at: https://youtu.be/vdAXQ8CibKA <https://youtu.be/vdAXQ8CibKA> *Dr. NATE MCDOWELL* _Rising tree mortality in the Anthropocene_ _Abstract_: Tree mortality is rising in most documented locations but the drivers and mechanisms of this trend are unknown. Changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, temperature, and vapor pressure deficit, along with drought, are primary potential drivers. Mechanisms linking these drivers to mortality include water, carbon, and pathogen defense processes. These processes are interdependent such that failure of one can lead to failure of the others. Prediction of future mortality is challenged by our understanding of the mechanisms, however, some evidence suggests the growing mortality rates are likely to continue well into the future. I conclude by reviewing the numerous challenges and opportunities for predicting future tree mortality. _Nate is a senior scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory._ He has studied tree mortality since the early 2000s, focusing on mechanisms and prediction. *Previous seminars:* Seminar # 1: Matt Hansen - Global forest monitoring using satellite data https://youtu.be/ya8XlQBS6DQ <https://youtu.be/ya8XlQBS6DQ> Seminar # 2: Flavia Costa - Tree mortality in the Amazon https://youtu.be/KoC8E6P3Zu8 <https://youtu.be/KoC8E6P3Zu8> Seminar # 3: Belinda Medlyn - Tree mortality in Australia https://youtu.be/hRlBc7oR328 <https://youtu.be/hRlBc7oR328> Visit us at: https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/ https://www.tree-mortality.net/ -- --- Dr. (habil.)

Join the e-list for IUFRO Working Party 4.02.01 Resource Data in the Tropics

by Brigitte Burger

Von: Sheila Ward <mahoganyforthefuture(a)gmail.com> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 24. März 2021 00:04 Betreff: Join the e-list for IUFRO Working Party 4.02.01 Resource Data in the Tropics Dear Colleagues: You are invited to join the e-list for IUFRO Working Party 4.02.01 Resource Data in the Tropics, at https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/ We are focusing the unit on the discovery, curation, and use of legacy tropical forest datasets. Much legacy data for tropical forests, including inventory and plot data, are in danger of being lost. Many tropical forest projects over the years have generated data, but the information is scattered among different institutions and people, some still only on paper, some digitized but in older formats. These legacy datasets are invaluable for understanding how tropical forests change through time, including the cumulative impacts of land use and climate, and changes in patterns of biodiversity. change in land use and climate, and changes in patterns of biodiversity and carbon storage. Many of the forests represented in historical datasets no longer exist, so these data are the only record of the natural vegetation of the area. There is also a need to develop a set of standard descriptive metadata, or a metadata scheme, for describing these datasets. This would assist not only with recovering and describing old data sets, but also ensure that future datasets can be consistently described and that their loss can be avoided in the future. The first step is to review datasets referred to in older meta databases (e.g., ATROFI-UK and TROPIS) to determine if they are still available, and if they are in need of updated electronic curation. We are also reaching out via electronic media and networks, to find additional legacy tropical datasets and information on these studies. The next steps will be to develop an updated metadatabase regarding these datasets, develop with stakeholders policy on ownership and appropriate use, seek funding, and electronically curate such datasets. We invite your participation in the e-list to discuss these and related topics. IUFRO 4.02.01 Coordination Team https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-4/40000/40200/40201/

New IUFRO-WWF Report on Forest Landscape Restoration

by Brigitte Burger

Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration <https://www.iufro.org/typo3temp/assets/_processed_/8/d/csm_2020_11_20_WWF_I UFRO_FLR_Policy_Study-cover_39715b07a1.jpg> Beschreibung: https://www.iufro.org/typo3temp/assets/_processed_/8/d/csm_2020_11_20_WWF_IU FRO_FLR_Policy_Study-cover_39715b07a1.jpgThe time is now to make forest restoration (FLR) at scale a success. This study seeks to better understand enabling governance and economic factors that can inform FLR implementation, based on sound evidence gathered from diverse contexts. Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration: The Roles of Governance and Economics. Full Report with Case Studies Published by WWF-Germany, November 2020 Author: Stephanie Mansourian, environmental consultant and Deputy Coordinator of the IUFRO Task Force on Transforming Forest Landscapes for Future Climates and Human Well-Being WWF and IUFRO have come together to push the forest restoration agenda forward using our combined scientific, policy and field implementation expertise. Both of our organizations have been exploring lessons learned in FLR (IUFRO FLR Snapshot and WWF FLR Field Experiences) to understand what works and what doesn't as a basis for informing future implementation. The purpose of this report is to identify the enabling factors at the national or subnational scale (including specifically governance and economic factors) that have motivated the initiation of forest restoration, that have enabled its implementation at scale, and that are key to sustaining it. It reviews case studies of 10 locations that have scaled up forest restoration (Bhutan, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kenya, Madagascar, Viet Nam, the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and Sahel, and Brazil's Espírito Santo State) in order to identify possible enabling factors related to governance and economics and thereby to guide future FLR interventions.

WATCH NOW ONLINE: Seminar with MATT HANSEN: Global forest monitoring using satellite data

by Henrik Hartmann

Dear all, please note that the International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality, is organizing a series of online seminars. These seminars will take place as online web seminars in regular intervals (6 to 8 seminars per year). Our kick-off meeting took place on Nov 17 and the recording is now available on the IUFRO youtube channel: http://youtu.be/ya8XlQBS6DQ <http://youtu.be/ya8XlQBS6DQ> *MATT HANSEN*, University of Maryland, author of the *GLOBAL FOREST WATCH* *Global forest monitoring using satellite data* _Abstract_: Earth observation data enable the monitoring of forest extent and change from national to global scales. Consistent processing of time-series images has made possible the operational production of global tree cover extent, loss and gain products. However, attribution of dynamics in the context 1) reference state, for example forest type, 2) change factor, for example fire or logging, and 3) outcome, for example land use type or natural recovery, is more challenging. In addition to mapping, the requirement to perform robust sample-based analyses to report on all themes is underappreciated. This talk will review our work on characterizing forest dynamics at the global scale using multi-source satellite imagery, including mapping and sampling, in the context of current operational versus future aspirational capabilities. If you are interested in contributing to the seminar series and/or have suggestions for additional speakers, please contact us at: treemortnet(a)gmail.com Visit us at: https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/ https://www.tree-mortality.net/ -- --- Dr. (habil.)

1st International Electronic Conference on Forests (IECF) - Mark your calendars!

by Brigitte Burger

It is with immense pleasure that we announce the 1st International Electronic Conference on Forests (IECF): Forests for a Better Future: Sustainability, Innovation, Interdisciplinarity Virtual Conference; 15-30 November 2020 Forests and forestry activities provide an opportunity to address the pressing challenge of climate change through sustainable production. Forests also play a strategic role in mitigating critical issues, including biodiversity conservation, water regulation, energy efficiency, pollution reduction and mitigation, production of raw biological materials, food safety, and human and ecosystem health and poverty. Forests contribute to the improvement of some important development issues focused on sustainability and responsible forest management as a shared and essential factor to address global challenges and guarantee the conservation and enhancement of the global forest heritage as well as the socio-economic development of production, environmental, and socio-cultural chains. The global pandemic has forced us to reduce travel and to reflect on our ability to leave scientific acquisitions as a legacy to future generations. This reduced mobility stimulates us to maintain connections with the scientific network using emerging technologies. This conference is an opportunity to communicate our shared passion for forests, forest products and services, and forest biodiversity. The conference will discuss the state of the art of forestry operations, wood supply chains, and ecosystem services, and objectives for the future will be sought. Sharing and discussing the latest research findings with the global community of scientists in the field of forests is the central purpose of this virtual meeting. Topics of the conference include: - Forest Ecology, Management and Restoration - Forest Genetics, Ecophysiology and Biology - Forests and Urban Forest Sustainability - Forest Inventory, Quantitative Methods and Remote Sensing - Wood Science, Production Chains and Fuelwood - Forest Operations and Engineering - Fire Risks and Other Natural Hazards IECF is a virtual conference sponsored by Forests (ISSN 1999-4907; Impact Factor 2.116 (2018)). Participation is free of charge for authors and attendees. Accepted papers will be gathered in the proceedings of the conference. Selected extended versions of the papers will be published in a Forests conference Special Issue with a 20% discount applied to the article processing charge (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/Forests/special_issues/IECF2020) IECF offers you the opportunity to participate in this international, scholarly conference without having the concern or expenditure of travel-all you need is your computer and access to the Internet. We would like to invite you to "attend" this conference by presenting your latest work. For more information on IECF, please visit the conference website (https://iecf2020.sciforum.net/) or contact us by email ( <mailto:iecf2020@mdpi.com> iecf2020(a)mdpi.com) Dr. Angela Lo Monaco Dr. Cate Macinnis-Ng Chairs of the 1st International Electronic Conference on Forests

Invitation to contribute to a special issue of FORESTS on Global Forest Health and Climate Change: Social, Economic and Environmental Implications

by Mariella Marzano

Dear colleague, Dr Mariella Marzano and I are guest editors on a upcoming special issue of the open access journal Forests, which we think you might be interested in contributing to. The special issue will focus on the complex interrelationships between climate, globalisation and forest health. We are seeking both theoretical and empirical papers from across environmental, social and economic sciences that present new evidence or illustrate the possibilities and challenges of managing the impacts of increasing risks to forest health. I attach a flyer with more information about the special issue and Forests (IF 2.116). Please submit an abstract to the guest editors in the first instance. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to submit manuscripts by 3 February 2021. The Author Processing Charge (APC) for Forests is 1800 CHF, however we have negotiated an excellent discount of 50% for all contributors to the special issue, so the fee will be 900 CHF. In addition to this, we hope to be able to waiver the fee completely for one contribution.
