International Tree Mortality Network - Newsletter

by Brigitte Burger

Von: Tree Mortality Network [mailto:treemortnet@gmail.com] Gesendet: Samstag, 20. Juni 2020 11:18 An: burger(a)iufro.org Betreff: International Tree Mortality Network - Newsletter <https://x6hr8.mjt.lu/tplimg/x6hr8/b/xr3nr/gl64w.png> <https://x6hr8.mjt.lu/tplimg/x6hr8/b/xr3nr/gl6m4.png> NEWSLETTER Dear members, The International Tree Mortality Network is now up and running! We will organize different activities during the upcoming months and years and will use our <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> webpage and regular distribution of newsletters to keep you informed and to get you involved. Despite the fact that the current health situation has jeopardized our first scientific activity, a workshop on harmonizing data on forest condition that was scheduled for late March but was cancelled, we have succeeded in taking up additional momentum. Please read on, this is the start of a global initiative that will propel science, forest management and policy making! Data surveys of global forest condition We recently have launched two surveys on data availability of global forest condition. The surveys seeks to assemble metadata on existing field assessments (i) to develop methods for quantification of tree mortality rates consistently across different protocols, and (ii) to link ground and satellite-based information to understand how tree mortality changes over time. We have already received XX responses from contributors around the globe. Please press the buttons to fill out the surveys. <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> Remote Sensing Survey <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> Terrestrials Data Survey <https://x6hr8.mjt.lu/tplimg/x6hr8/b/xr37r/gl6tl.png> Participants of the surveys and other experts will be given the opportunity to contribute to topical online working groups. Invitations will be sent out this summer. We'll keep you updated. Tree mortality event image gallery <https://x6hr8.mjt.lu/tplimg/x6hr8/b/xr37r/glii1.jpeg> To increase awareness about climate change-induced tree mortality as a global phenomenon, we want to host images on mortality events on our <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> webpages. To do so, we seek your support, please send us images of mortality events (large group of trees, forest stands,...) to <mailto:treemortnet@gmail.com> treemortnet(a)gmail.com, and add a short description about the main species affected, the region and country, the cause (e.g., bark beetle) and year of mortality (if known), and the name of the copyright holder (for example, Spruce_Thuringia_Germany_bark beetles_2019_Hartmann.jpg). <mailto:treemortnet@gmail.com?subject=tree-mortality-pictures> contact Global database and interactive map of tree mortality events We have posted a tree mortality event map on our <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> webpage. For the time being, the map is a geo-referenced version of the "Allen mortality map" (Allen et al. 2010, Hartmann et al. 2018) and is currently populated by Bill Hammond as part of his PhD dissertation. Once published, we will post on our <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> webpage not only the interactive map that provides geo-referenced information on tree mortality events documented in peer reviewed publications over the last ~50 years, but we will also add a functionality allowing the signalling of new mortality events via an online entry tool. <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> Fig.: Global map of documented tree mortality events related to drought and hotter temperatures. Events taken from Allen et al. 2010, IPCC 2014, Allen et al. 2015, Hartmann et al. 2018, Hammond et al. in preparation. The map currently is being populated with ~1000 precisely georeferenced research plots that document these mortality events by William Hammond.

Surveys on data on global forest condition

by Brigitte Burger

Dear colleagues, Due to the current health situation we, the IUFRO Task Force on Monitoring Global Tree Mortality Patterns and Trends, had to cancel our first workshop on Harmonizing terrestrial data sources on forest condition that was supposed to be held in Wuerzburg, Germany, at the end of March. We have acted upon the corona restrictions and have substituted the 'physical' workshop with two online surveys, which will be followed by a series of virtual working group meetings. Surveys and workshops aim to identify existing terrestrial and remote sensing data sources on forest condition and how the data can be harmonized to infer information on tree mortality rates and trends over time. We now seek your help to assemble information on existing data sources that allow deriving global tree mortality rates. The links below will take you to the surveys, specifically designed to be as brief as possible. The surveys seek to assemble metadata on existing data sources in order to: · develop methods for quantification of tree mortality rates consistently across different protocols, and · link ground and satellite-based information to understand how tree mortality changes over time. Terrestrial data: <https://forms.gle/NnVfhLv66j1Hnbro6> https://forms.gle/NnVfhLv66j1Hnbro6 Remote sensing data: <https://forms.gle/h9eXvob7E6ZXRjxVA> https://forms.gle/h9eXvob7E6ZXRjxVA Data hosting will be assumed by the International Tree Mortality Network ( <https://www.tree-mortality.net/> https://www.tree-mortality.net/) which is an initiative established by the IUFRO Task Force on Monitoring Global Tree Mortality Patterns and Trends. Please contact us ( <https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/> https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/tree-mortality-patterns/) if youre interested in joining the post-survey workshops or for any other requests or inquiries. --- Dr. (habil.)

by Pascal Frey

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the organization of a summer school in the framework of the NFZ-forestnet (Nancy-Freiburg-Zurich) on the topic "Emerging pests and diseases in temperate forests" which will take place at INRAE Champenoux, near Nancy, North-East France, from 6 to 10 July, 2020. The summer school is mainly intended for PhD students, but also young researchers, and Master's students interested in understanding the biology and the epidemiology of emerging pests and diseases in temperate forests, and gaining insight into the consequences for forest management. More information and the program are available at : https://workshop.inrae.fr/nfz-summerschool/. The registration of participants is now open and candidate participants should register until May 1, 2020. Registration is free, but participants will cover their own travel and accommodation costs. The scientific committee decided so far to maintain the summer school despite the current Covid-19 crisis, as we hope that the situation will be settled by then.

DNA-based fungal id service?

by Brigitte Burger

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Glen R Stanosz <gstanosz(a)wisc.edu> To: "div7(a)lists.iufro.org" <div7(a)lists.iufro.org> Date: Sun, 23 Dec 2018 02:46:53 +0000 Subject: DNA-based fungal id service? Apologies if I am adding just one more email to those who might consider this inquiry relevant to them. BUT, a lawyer has inquired about whether there might be a commercial service that will attempt to extract and amplify DNA from a dried fruiting body (in this case, Pseudoinonotus dryadeus), and then sequence to confirm identity. This inquiry is related to a personal injury lawsuit, hence documentation that would potentially be used in court is required. I know that a number of us might attempt this in our own labs, but that is not an option for me. If anyone can refer me to a commercial lab that might attempt this, please let me know. And, HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL. Glen R.

The session will cover possible solutions, including: harvest policies, regulations, and planning; regeneration and genetic variation; silvicultural practices; modelling to balance extraction, regeneration, and genetic diversity; and market demand to create value. *SESSION A4c: **Monitoring and Assessing Urban Forest Services and Values at the National to Local Scale* ISTF CONTACT: Vindhya P. Tewari, Himalayan Forest Research Institute, India (*vptewari(a)yahoo.com <vptewari(a)yahoo.com>*) SESSION SUMMARY: Trees and forests within urban areas provide numerous benefits to city residents, but relatively little is known about their structure, the services provided by these forests, and how these forests are changing. The purpose of this session is to discuss approaches to inventory urban forests, so that Nations can learn how to monitor these important forests that directly affect human health and well-being. *SESSION B5b: **Small-scale sustainable energy alternatives for developing countries* ISTF CONTACT: Lamfu Fabrice Yengong, University of Buea, Cameroon, ( lamfu2035yengong(a)gmail.com) SESSION SUMMARY: In developing countries, wood accounts for 50-90% of the fuel used, and increased efficiency or replacements for wood are needed. This session explores sustainable energy alternatives. Presentations might include: utilizing waste through “3R” (reduce, reuse, and recycle); more efficient technologies for cooking with wood fuel; social costs of increasing scarcity of fuel wood; characteristics related to fuel wood energy content; solar cooking as an alternative; potential for material and energy recovery from waste; appropriate technologies for developing countries; integrated renewable energy production and utilization from biomass combustion and waste gasification, among other topics. *SESSION C1b: Advances in management and science for the high-value Meliaceae* ISTF CONTACT: Liu Jun, Research Institute of subtropical forest, Chinese Academy of forestry, China, (ywliu2005(a)163.com) SESSION SUMMARY: Tropical timber species of the Meliaceae (including Cedrela, Entandrophragma, Khaya, Swietenia, and Toona) are among the world’s finest woods, and many species have other uses. Their sustainable management faces similar issues around the world. This session will share the latest in research and applications for a global perspective on these species. Topics could cover conservation of genetic resources, genetic improvement, advances in shoot borer control, natural forest management, and development and products useful for human health, among others. *SESSION C1c: **Improving high-value Meliaceae yields in plantations* ISTF CONTACT: Antonio Ferraz, Universidade Federal do Piauí, Brazil ( acferrazfilho(a)gmail.com) SESSION SUMMARY: This session will focus on better production of Meliaceae species grown in plantations. Many species (e.g. mahogany, African mahogany, Australian red cedar, Melia) have recently been grown as plantations around the world and research is needed over a wide range of topics. The main objectives are to share experiences and to find common research themes to build possible collaborations among researchers working with Meliaceae species in plantations around the world. *SESSION C9a: Discovery, curation, and uses of legacy tropical forest data sets* ISTF CONTACT: Sheila Ward, Mahogany for the Future, Inc., Puerto Rico ( tropfordata(a)gmail.com) SESSION SUMMARY: Legacy tropical forest datasets have been generated by various projects over time, and many are in danger of being lost. These datasets are valuable for understanding how tropical forests change through time, and many of the forests they characterize no longer exist. To safeguard these data, standardized metadata and electronic archiving schemes need to be developed. The purpose of the session is to share information on the potential uses of such datasets, their current status, and appropriate curation and metadata strategies. *SESSION F6b: Effective educational strategies for the next generation of forest professionals * ISTF CONTACT: Ruth Metzel, Azuero Earth Project, Panama, ( ruth(a)proecoazuero.org) SESSION SUMMARY: University-based programs on forest related fields are evolving and inherently need to change towards multidisciplinary programs. Some major drivers of these changes are globalization of the economy, climate change, and new technologies and informatics. In a similar vein, solutions for real life, resource management problems around forest key issues, like health, bioenergy, climate change are consistently calling for more holistic and cross-sectoral approaches. Universities curricula need to meet diverse higher demands, and new ways to approach these challenges involving various disciplines in a multicultural environment. This session will highlight findings on research aiming to understand those challenges and also research that addresses innovative strategies that allow forestry students and professors and providers of non-formal education to keep abreast with the time, such online classes, field practices, case studies among others. With its focus on being a communication network, ISTF can help you connect with others interested in tropical forests and forestry.

IUFRO - Call for Task Force Proposals

by Brigitte Burger

<http://www.iufro.org/> International Union of Forest Research Organizations IUFRO - Call for Task Force Proposals IUFRO Task Forces are established on a temporary basis to advance inter‐disciplinary forest science cooperation in fields spanning IUFRO Divisional interests. They focus on emerging key issues that are of strong interest to policy makers and groups inside and outside the forest sector, and contribute to international processes and activities. Since 1991, over 30 IUFRO Task Forces have brought together scientists, policy-makers and other stakeholders to conduct innovative work across a broad range of topics. The activities of Task Forces are varied, but commonly involve: development of expanded global collaboration and information-sharing networks on their focal topics, the organization of meetings or workshops, publication of interdisciplinary scientific syntheses as books or in special issues of peer-reviewed journals, and presentations in major regional or global science-policy platforms. Task Force coordinators are non-voting members of the IUFRO Board, and are invited and expected to attend IUFRO's annual Board meetings. For more information on the activities and accomplishments of current and earlier Task Forces please visit: https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/) During the current (2014-2019) Board term, Task Forces were established for an initial 2-year period with the possibility of an additional two-year extension. In order to encourage activities across the full spectrum of IUFRO's disciplinary expertise, we will continue this practice. This will enable IUFRO to establish new Task Forces on a periodic basis throughout the 2019‐2024 Term to take advantage of emerging needs and opportunities. SELECTION CRITERIA Proposals for new Task Forces will be evaluated on the following criteria: * Potential to strengthen inter‐Divisional collaboration on specific topics of global relevance related to one or more Emphasis Areas and/or Institutional Goals of the IUFRO Strategy (1); * Specific contribution of the proposed Task Force to addressing broader policy processes or interdisciplinary science‐policy initiatives; * Engagement of two or more Divisions by involving relevant Divisional units (Research Groups and/or Working Parties). Proposal should be jointly developed with the relevant IUFRO Divisions and their units, but may involve additional experts currently outside of the IUFRO network and partner institutions, as required. * Task Force activities should not duplicate current work within IUFRO Divisions, but rather complement and expand their activities; * Rationale for their involvement of (non-IUFRO) partner institutions (if relevant); * Task Force membership reflecting required spectrum of scientific expertise (including both natural and social sciences), as well as geographical, cultural and gender diversity, and providing opportunities for early-career scientists; * Clarity of timelines for proposed Task Force activities and their deliverables; while Task Forces can be proposed for up to the full length of the upcoming IUFRO term (until the July 2024 World Congress), it is highly recommended that proposed Task Forces consider more focused activities to be undertaken in the first two year period; * Clarity of operational aspects (roles and responsibilities of Task Force coordinator and members, roles and responsibilities of partners involved, if any), budget for activities and funding sources. (1) Please refer to the IUFRO Strategy at https://www.iufro.org/discover/strategy/ <http://www.iufro.org/discover/strategy/> for details. PROCEDURE FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW TASK FORCES FOR THE 2019-2024 TERM In order to proceed with the development of new Task Forces prior to the start of the new Board term in October 2019, we invite IUFRO officeholders and members to prepare, by 31 December 2018, a short 1-2 page Concept Note that provides a brief statement of the objectives/aims and proposed activities of the Task Force within the 2-year time frame. This will be reviewed by IUFRO Board members in January 2019, who will provide comments as well as suggestions regarding scientists from the Divisions who may be particularly interested in joining the proposed Task Force. If the Task Force concept note is viewed favorably by the Board, then a full proposal will be requested, with a due date for full proposals of 31 March for 2019.

IUFRO Division 7 news 2017-18

by Eckehard Brockerhoff

Dear Friends and colleagues (subscribers of mailing lists Div7, RG7.01, RG7.02 and RG7.03) Attached is the latest newsletter covering happenings over the last 12 months as well as upcoming meetings in the Forest Health Division and the three Research Groups (RG 7.01 - Air Pollution and Climate Change, RG 7.02 - Pathology, and RG 7.03 - Entomology). Please let us know if we overlooked any events, and please share information for our next newsletter. Apart from all the upcoming Division 7 conferences and meetings that are listed in the attached report, I'd like to draw your attention to the abstract submission dates for the next IUFRO World Congress in Curitiba, Brazil, 29 September - 5 October, 2019. Congress website: www.iufro2019.com<http://www.iufro2019.com> Abstract submission was planned to start at 15 September 2018 but this has been postponed because of the large number of session proposals that were received, which required some consolidation. Abstract submission should be available soon, and the abstract submission deadline is still planned to be 15 December 2018. I know that many Division 7 contributors submitted session proposals. The interest in the congress and in organising sessions has been amazing. More than twice as many session proposals were received than can be accommodated at the congress. Unfortunately, this necessitated that some proposals that addressed similar topics were merged by the committee, and I think most have now been informed about the outcome. Someone mentioned that "arranged marriages can be good marriages" and I hope that those who are affected will be able to see some positives in this or at least be able to live with the decision. I should mention that I was not responsible for the merging decisions. Anyway, there is still some discussion about certain cases where the merging may not have been ideal. Please let me know if you are not satisfied with the outcome and if you feel strongly about this. My email is eckehard.brockerhoff(a)scionresearch.com<mailto:eckehard.brockerhoff@scionresearch.com> I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming IUFRO meeting, and my best wishes for your research and other endeavours.

Experiences with Adaptive Measures in Forestry and Forest Restoration under Global Change - Survey

by Brigitte Burger

Colleagues, The members of the Task Force "Forest Adaptation and Restoration under Global Change" of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) are conducting a survey to gain data and insights for developing best practice approaches for forest adaptation and restoration under global change. This survey relies on the knowledge of experts/professionals from forestry and related fields and their information about actual examples of Adaptive Measures in Forestry and Forest Restoration. The collected data will contribute valuable information to a study of the local and regional experiences with Adaptive Forest Management (AFM) and Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) under climate- and societal change with the aim to increase the adaptive capacity of forests and forest landscapes with regards to those changes. If you are working or have experience in this field, please participate in this survey. You can choose among 13 languages. It will take approximately 15-20 minutes to fill in the survey. For any remarks to the survey (content and technical aspects), please contact directly Markus Hoehl ( <javascript:linkTo_UnCryptMailto('ocknvq,octmwu0jqgjnBvjwgpgp0fg');> markus.hoehl(at)thuenen.de).

Forest Experts Survey for PhD Dissertation - 8 minutes - With Amazon Gift Cards Lottery

by SILVIA PIANTA

Dear members of the IUFRO Division 8 List, I am a PhD student from Bocconi University, member of the UNFF Children and Youth Major Group. Together with Prof. Valentina Bosetti, a lead author of the Fifth IPCC Report, I am working on a research project on deforestation. To carry out our research we have constructed a survey: https://unibocconi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9SrYlUWHcKVTijr If you have 8 minutes to complete it, it would give a significant contribution to our research and to my work for my PhD dissertation. Participants can win $100 Amazon gift cards. Forest experts from a wide array of countries and organizations have already completed this survey, and having your perspective would be really valuable to us. The aim of our research project is to investigate how different actors perceive, conceptualize and frame the problem of deforestation, the different strategies to address it, and the related challenges. We will gather the data only for research purposes and all data will be kept confidential. Thank you in advance for your help, Best regards, Silvia Pianta VSRC - Princeton University PhD Student in Public Policy Bocconi University +1 2037729976 +39 0258362501

Call for papers on the topic of "Understanding Forest Health under Increasing Climate and Trade Challenges: Social System Considerations"

by Brigitte Burger

Von: Marzano, Mariella [mailto:Mariella.Marzano@forestry.gsi.gov.uk] Gesendet: Dienstag, 29. Mai 2018 16:52 Betreff: Call for papers on the topic of "Understanding Forest Health under Increasing Climate and Trade Challenges: Social System Considerations" Working Party 7.03.15 "Social Dimensions of Forest Health" would like to announce a call for papers on the topic of "Understanding Forest Health under Increasing Climate and Trade Challenges: Social System Considerations" for a special issue of Forestry. Abstract is below and further details can be found here: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests/special_issues/climate_health Forest health is increasingly influenced by climate change as well as growing globalization and trade. Climate change results in species movement and species that have earlier had more limited impacts can potentially spread and gain impact under changing conditions. However, through the large plant trade and inadvertent movement of species (such as pests or fungi in soil) forest health is increasingly impacted by species not only originating in nearby areas but also from far away areas of the globe. As a result, new forest plant risks may occur that have largely been unprecedented, and with a potential that has been little managed so far in legislation and policy that may be more oriented towards supporting free trade. This special issue highlights the social system considerations around forest health: the ways in which specific legislative and policy systems, at the national, regional or local level, aim at regulating or managing increasing forest pest or invasive species risks and outbreak events, and the ways in which policy instruments, technologies or means of interaction, routines or engagement can be developed to manage plant pest and invasive species. This special issue thereby illustrates the possibilities and limitations in specific socio-economic and political systems to manage and limit the impacts of increasing challenges to forest health under climate change and globalization. Deadline for manuscript submissions is 15 November 2018!

by Brigitte Burger

Von: Im Auftrag von José Borges Gesendet: Mittwoch, 16. Mai 2018 16:40 Betreff: Call for papers - Special Issue on Decision Support to Address Multiple Ecosystem Services in Forest Management Planning Dear Colleagues, IUFRO Units 4.04.04—Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling, IUFRO Unit 4.03—Informatics, Modelling, and Statistics and IUFRO Unit 4.03.03. Information management and information technologies are sponsoring a Special Issue of Forests (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests) on Decision Support to Address Multiple Ecosystem Services in Forest Management Planning We welcome the submission of manuscripts for publication in this Forests special issue (SI). This SI aims at contributing to our understanding of how we can enhance forest management planning, in integrating a wide range of ecosystem services (ES) and assuring a sustainable supply (e.g. products and services listed in the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment). We welcome manuscripts that focus on 1) models to help forest managers check the impact of management options on the provision of ES, 2) methods to help forest managers develop plans targeting the supply of ES, 3) methods to help forest managers analyze tradeoﬀs between a multitude of ES, 4) methods to help forest managers assess the sensitivity of the supply of ecosystem services to uncertain parameters, 5) multiple criteria decision support systems and 6) approaches to map the demand for ES and the quality and quantity of ES supply. Papers submitted for publication in this Special Issue will undergo a rigorous peer review process with the aim of prompt and wide dissemination of research results and applications.

Input to the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR)

by Brigitte Burger

From: Dr. Ernest Foli <mailto:[mailto:efoli@hotmail.com]> [mailto:efoli@hotmail.com] Subject: Input to the 2019 GSDR Dear Colleagues, We are writing to request your input to the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR). The GSDR, mandated by the United Nations' Member States in the outcome document of the 2012 Rio + 20 conference, is meant to strengthen the science-policy interface and provide a strong evidence-based instrument to support policymakers in promoting poverty eradication and sustainable development. The GSDR is being drafted by an independent group of scientists (IGS), supported by a task team of six UN-system agencies. Profiles of the 15 IGS members are found here: https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/globalsdreport/2019) As part of its outreach efforts, the IGS is soliciting inputs from a diverse group of scientific and non-scientific communities, from all over the world, in the form of publications supported by short abstracts or descriptions of case studies. Currently, we are requesting contributions in four major areas: (1) interactions among SDGs and their targets, (2) transformation pathways towards sustainable development; (3) looking beyond the SDGs (major issues identified by research which are not explicitly taken into account in the SDGs), and (4) the role of science for sustainable development. Contributions will be acknowledged in the GSDR. If you are interested in contributing to this important exercise, please follow the below link to a questionnaire. https://goo.gl/forms/bWjUsJmHPZCDkqxb2 With many thanks and kind regards, Ernest Foli, PhD. Member of the Independent Group of Scientists

For more information see the project description (below) and the following link: http://www.su.se/english/about/working-at-SU/jobs?rmpage=job <http://www.su.se/english/about/working-at-SU/jobs?rmpage=job&rmjob=4100&rml ang=UK> &rmjob=4100&rmlang=UK and dont hesitate to contact me directly by email, (closing date is November 5) My best, Ayco Tack ayco.tack(a)su.se Project description Climate change has already altered the phenology of plants and organisms at higher trophic levels. Among plants, this has resulted in a temporal shift towards earlier bud burst and/or flowering, and among plant-feeding insects in earlier emergences. But more radical changes can happen than shifts in phenology: with increasing temperature, species may increase the number of generations per year (voltinism). Such changes may be extremely important from an ecological and evolutionary perspective, as an additional generation may accelerate both population growth and rate of adaptation, and may also lead to temporal mismatches between interacting species. However, we lack insight in how climate affects the voltinism of species within natural multitrophic communities, and how this in turn may shape food web structure and dynamics. The overarching aim of the PhD project is to understand how spatial and temporal variation in climate affects the voltinism of a diverse community of herbivores and parasitoids on oak, and the consequences for food web structure and dynamics. The project will combine several approaches: i) fields surveys describing the spatial and temporal patterns in voltinism of a community of herbivores and parasitoids on oak, ii) heating experiments to disentangle how climatic variation (spring, summer and autumn heating) drives the voltinism of, and synchrony between, herbivores and parasitoids, and iii) detailed climate-chamber and laboratory experiments on five selected species to probe the impact of voltinism on herbivore and parasitoid preference and performance. ____________________________________ Ayco Tack Assistant professor Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences Stockholm University SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden Visiting address: Svante Arrhenius Väg 20A, room N420 Phone: + 46-(0)8-163959 Mobile: + 46-(0)70-4942557 <mailto:ayco.tack@su.se> ayco.tack(a)su.se <http://www.plantmicrobeinsect.com/> www.plantmicrobeinsect.com <http://www.su.se/profiles/atack> www.su.se/profiles/atack ___________________________________

On Forest Health - Interview with Division 7 Coordinator Eckehard Brockerhoff

by Brigitte Burger

Read an interview with Division 7 Coordinator Eckehard Brockerhoff of Scion (New Zealand Forest Research Institute) about the work in IUFRO Division 7 and the All-Division Meeting at the IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress. Division 7 deals with topics that are all concerned with forest and tree health, and the causes of interactions between air pollution and climate change, tree pathogens, and tree-feeding insects. Dr Brockerhoff pointed out that biological invasions and invasive species have been occupying much of this Division's time. The impacts of invasions are so pervasive and fundamental, and there are no simple solutions. They are an unwanted consequence of international trade and the movement of people from country to country. "At this Congress we've learned, among other things, about the progress in our understanding of what makes these invasive species so aggressive and how we can better predict the types of species that behave in this way," Dr Brockerhoff said.

The truth is that I need to dedicate the focus of my time this week to the future of IUFRO and the many political -social issues that arise on this 125th Anniversary of iUFRO. I will get to as many as the Tree Health Sessions as I can -unfortunately Monday morning is one of the time slots filled with various political engagements so I miss those sessions. If not elsewhere -I look forward to seeing you in the sidelines of the main events -do come and say hello and also really enjoy the meeting. It will be very special both scientifically and socially.

FW: IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress, information about activities of Division 7 (Forest Health) and important news about to excursions #11 and #38

by Eckehard Brockerhoff

Dear friends and colleagues, This is a follow-up message about the all-Division 7, Forest Health, segment of the IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress with important information about the following: (1) a social evening for participants contributing to, or interested in, Div. 7, Forest Health, on Monday, 18 Sept. 2017, (2) a post-congress field trip organised by Div. 7 (an update), (3) the business meeting of Div. 7, Forest Health, where everyone is welcome to learn about planned activities and opportunities to discuss and contribute. (1) Social evening for all interested in Div. 7, Forest Health, on 18 Sept. We are planning a social evening in a beer garden near the centre of Freiburg on Monday, 18 Sept. 2017, from about 8 pm / 20:00 hrs. This is mainly for all those who are interested in Forest Health, or contributing to Div. 7. sessions, or participating with working parties, etc. Dr Horst Delb, a local forest entomologist, has kindly agreed to help organise this. This promises to be a very nice opportunity to socialise in the beer garden outdoors or in the hall inside (in case the weather is not so kind). There will be local beers and other drinks available, including non-alcoholic options, as well as dinner, for an affordable amount (about 10-15 Euros). To secure the venue, we need to know that there will be enough participants. If you would like to join us, or if you have any questions about this, please email me (eckehard.brockerhoff(a)scionresearch.com<mailto:eckehard.brockerhoff@scionresearch.com>). (2) Post-congress field trips organised by Div. 7 (update) As mentioned previously, we are planning a Forest Health post-congress tour over two days in the Black Forest and the Vosges Mountains in France to see various forest health concerns (mainly insects and pathogens). We have about 20 participants so far but we can take a few more. For more information about this 'excursion 38', please visit http://iufro2017.com/two-day-excursions/#toggle-id-6 A detailed description of the full programme of Excursion 38 is attached. Briefly, excursion 38 (the 2-day post-congress tour) is entitled 'Ecology and management of emerging and invasive forest pests and diseases'. It includes an overnight stay in a hotel in France, two lunches and a dinner, wine tasting, etc., and the fee is 270 Euros. If you would like to join excursion 38, please email Marc Dittes ( Marc.Dittes(a)intercongress.de<mailto:Marc.Dittes@intercongress.de> ) (3) The business meeting of Div. 7, Forest Health, on 19 Sept. Although the name 'business meeting' may not be so enticing, these meetings are always very interesting to anyone who would like to know a little more about IUFRO, the Forest Health groups and their activities, upcoming conferences, opportunities to discuss relevant topics, become involved, etc. Attendance of this is not limited to office holders and, in fact, everyone is welcome to come along. This is currently scheduled for Tuesday, 19 Sept. 2017, from 8 pm / 20:00 hrs. Please mark this in your diaries. Please send me an email if you have any questions or suggestions (which we welcome).

IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress, information about activities of Division 7 (Forest Health) and important news about to excursions #11 and #38

by Eckehard Brockerhoff

Dear friends and colleagues, This message about the all-Division 7, Forest Health, segment of the IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress contains important information about the following points (our apologies if you receive this more than once): (1) congress registration, (2) post-congress field trips organised by Div. 7 (news and changes), (3) a social evening for participants contributing to (or interested in) Div. 7, Forest Health, on Monday, 18 Sept. 2017, (4) the business meeting of Div. 7, Forest Health, where everyone is welcome to learn about planned activities and opportunities to discuss and contribute. (1) Congress registration Hopefully you are all aware that the deadline for Early-Bird Registration is coming up very soon (1 June 2017), and that it is a requirement for all presenters to have registered for the Congress by this deadline. Every presenter not registered by 1 June will be removed from the programme. The congress organisers have to adhere to this rule to enable the planning of the programme. (2) Post-congress field trips organised by Div. 7 (news and changes) Some of you will be aware that we have been planning a Forest Health post-congress tour, over two days in the Black Forest and the Vosges Mountains in France to see various forest health concerns (mainly insects and pathogens). Those of you who have already registered may not have seen this in the list of two-day tours because the 2-day tour (Excursion 38) has only just been listed on the congress website (see http://iufro2017.com/two-day-excursions/#toggle-id-11 ). Also note that there is a change in the plans for Excursion 11 (Bark beetle management in the Black Forest). Originally this was meant to be offered in two options, as a stand-alone 1-day field trip AND as part of a 2-day post-congress tour focussing on forest health issues. However, the organisers of these two excursions (#11 and #38) have decided to merge them entirely, so that the preferred option is now that all participants join the 2-day tour on 23-24 September. A detailed description of the full programme of Excursion 38 is attached. Excursion 38 (the 2-day post-congress tour) is entitled 'Ecology and management of emerging and invasive forest pests and diseases' It includes an overnight stay in a hotel in France, two lunches and a dinner, wine tasting, etc., and the fee is 270 Euros. We are corresponding directly with those who have already signed up for Excursion 11 about their options (to either join the extended tour (#38) or continue with the original Excursion 11 which we offer to those who don't want to join the 2-day tour). We hope that you will be interested in joining us for the 2-day tour. I'm sure it will be a great experience and a perfect conclusion to the 125th Anniversary Congress and the embedded Division 7 (Forest Health) conference. (3) Social evening for all interested in Div. 7, Forest Health, on 18 Sept. We are planning a social evening in a beer garden not far from the centre of Freiburg on Monday, 18 Sept. 2017, from about 8 pm / 20:00 hrs. This is mainly for all those who are interested in or contributing to Div. 7. (those interested or presenting in Div. 7 sessions, participating with working parties, etc. Horst Delb has kindly agreed to help organise this. This promises to be a very nice opportunity to socialise in the beer garden outdoors or in the hall inside (in case the weather is not so kind). There will be local beers and other drinks available, including non-alcoholic options, as well as dinner. We will have more information about this soon, but we suggest you keep Monday evening free, so you can join us. (4) The business meeting of Div. 7, Forest Health, on 19 Sept.

International Conference on Ozone and Plant Ecosystems 21-25 May, 2018, Florence, Italy

by Elena Paoletti

*International Conference on Ozone and Plant Ecosystems* *21-25 May, 2018, Florence, Italy* Dear Ozone & Plants experts, Ozone pollution continues to be a serious issue for terrestrial ecosystems and plant health. Progress has been achieved by controlling the emission of precursors in some areas of the world, but much remains to be done. This conference will allow all experts in the interactions between ozone and plant ecosystems to meet and discuss the state of the art and the strategies for continuous improvements. The main subjects of the conference are: 1. Monitoring, modelling and assessing the risk of ozone damage to plant ecosystems Proofs of the impacts of ambient ozone on plant ecosystems are still elusive. New monitoring approaches and epidemiological studies are developing. Modelling of ozone is becoming more and more sophisticated and high resolution. Risk assessment is evaluating many different metrics for plant protection, with a focus on stomatal ozone flux. All these developments, with focus on the most modern techniques, will be discussed in this session. 2. How plant ecosystems affect ozone concentration in the atmosphere Ozone deposition is strongly affected by the type of vegetation. Exchanges of biogenic volatile organic compounds is known to contribute to ozone chemistry in the atmosphere. This session addresses mechanisms, seasonality, responses to ozone singly and in combination with other environmental factors, as well as selection of appropriate green infrastructure for urban greening. 3. How plant ecosystems respond to ozone exposure This session will include food security and effects on forests and grasslands. A main aim is to evaluate strategies for maximizing yield, productivity and other environmental services of plant ecosystems under ozone stress. Following the success of the conference Ozone and Plants held in Beijing in May 2014, we are pleased to announce this follow-up conference. For more details, please check the website https://conference2018.wixsite.com/ozoneandplants We look forward to meeting you in Florence!

Managing eucalypt plantations under global changes; Montpellier, France; 17-21 September 2018

by Brigitte Burger

Mark your calendars for the international conference on Managing eucalypt plantations under global changes; Montpellier, France; 17-21 September 2018 Eucalypt plantations cover approximately 20 million hectares worldwide and are expanding rapidly to provide the raw material for wood, paper, and biofuel products as well as large amounts of firewood and charcoal for domestic uses. Breeding programs and silvicultural practices must be revisited to face the ongoing global changes. As in previous IUFRO meetings (Bordeaux 1990, Hobart 1995, Salvador 1997, Valdivia 2001, Aveiro 2004, Durban 2007, Porto Seguro 2011, Nanning 2015), this conference will be a great opportunity for scientists and managers of forest plantations to present the recent advances in silviculture and genetics and to improve our understanding of the response of eucalypts to biotic and abiotic stresses. The ecosystem services influenced by eucalypt monocultures and mixed-species plantations with eucalypt trees will be addressed. Details at: https://eucalyptus2018.cirad.fr/ We are looking forward to welcoming you in Montpellier next year!

Request for Information on Orphaned Tropical Forest Data

by Brigitte Burger

Colleagues, We hope to compile information on orphaned data for tropical forests, including inventory and plot data, that are in danger of being lost. Many projects over the years have generated a lot of tropical forest data. But the information is scattered among different institutions and people, some still only on paper, some digitized but in older formats. TROPIS and ATROFI-UK are two previous databases that compiled metadata on forest plots and inventories. The data for certain plots are available at www.forestplots.net and its associated networks. But other plots and inventories still need attention, re-discovery even. We would like to compile information on datasets that should be digitized or transformed to an up-to-date digital format. The goal is firstly to make metadata on these datasets available on a publicly accessible website, and then to try to secure the data itself by pushing for appropriate curation with open-access availability. These legacy datasets are invaluable for understanding how tropical forests change through time, including the cumulative impacts of changes in land use and climate, and changes in patterns of biodiversity and carbon storage. The past can help inform the future. If you know of any such orphaned databases for tropical forests, please send a message to: Gillian Petrokofsky gillian.petrokofsky(a)zoo.ox.ac.uk or Sheila Ward sheila.emily.ward(a)gmail.com. Please pass this message on to anyone who might be interested. ********************************************************************* Regards, Sheila Ward Coordinator, IUFRO 1.02.04 Gillian Petrokovsky Deputy Coordinator, IUFRO 9.01.01

Von: Vlosky, Richard P. [mailto:RVlosky@agcenter.lsu.edu] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 1. Februar 2017 00:07 An: Vlosky, Richard P. Betreff: Trees engineered to grow faster could outrun insect blight and drought Email Signature Logo(SENT TO THE LOUISIANA FOREST PRODUCTS DEVELOPMENT CENTER-FOREST SECTOR INTEREST GROUP) cid:image006.jpg@01D11D50.797B06B0 Trees engineered to grow faster could outrun insect blight and drought By <http://www.woodworkingnetwork.com/users/billesler> Bill Esler January 24, 2017 | 9:52 pm EST · http://www.woodworkingnetwork.com/sites/woodworking/files/field/image/bugs-… VANCOUVER, B.C.- With 400 million seedlings planted per year, spruce are Canada's most reforested trees. Now researchers have launched a $10.5 million research project to fund genetically improved tree breeding programs. Spruce trees are Canada's most significant forest resource because they grow in almost every region of country and are the largest species by number. Spruce trees also produce high-quality wood and fiber. Genome BC, a public-private agency that funds research in Western Canada, says climate change and unpredictable forest product markets require faster tree breeding programs to deliver reliable spruce stock for future seed and seedling production. The organization announced a $10.5-million research project, Spruce-Up: Advanced spruce genomics for productive and resilient forests, which it says can more than double the net economic output value of spruce forests, increasing the value of new trees and reducing losses due to environmental disturbances. The investment, made in part by Genome BC, is for a project being led by Dr. Joerg Bohlmann at the University of British Columbia and Dr. Jean Bousquet from l'Université Laval, in Quebec. The team will accelerate the development and deployment of genomics-improved spruce seedlings that could be more resistant to insects and drought, has enhanced nutrient use efficiency and results in improved wood quality and productivity. <http://www.genomebc.ca/files/5314/0968/6689/Forest_Sector_Strategy_for_web.…> http://www.woodworkingnetwork.com/sites/woodworking/files/GenomeBC-bugs.jpg <http://www.genomebc.ca/files/5314/0968/6689/Forest_Sector_Strategy_for_web.…> Annual report for GenomeBC "Spruce-Up capitalizes on our long-standing successful collaborations with industry and government," says Dr. Joerg Bohlmann, Professor and Distinguished University Scholar, Michael Smith Laboratories, UBC. "We are building on over a decade of ground breaking forest genomics research enabled by Genome Canada, Genome BC and other partners." A similar project funded at $5.7 million and set in Alberta, was announced earlier this month. It will look at how changing climates and climate-induced insect outbreaks are on the rise, leading to drought and forest destruction. That project is co-led by the University of British Columbia’s Dr. Yousry El-Kassaby, and aims to shorten the time, by about 20 years, for tree-breeding cycles, in an effort to alleviate side effects from climate conditions and insects. Overall, says Genome Canada, the pace of change in climate and climate-induced insect outbreaks is outstripping the ability for trees to adjust to these threats. Likewise, traditional tree improvement methodologies are too slow to provide well-adapted seedlings for reforestation to ultimately achieve healthy forests for the future. Dr. El-Kassaby, in collaboration with Drs. Barb Thomas and Nadir Erbilgin of the University of Alberta, are working to integrate rapidly emerging technologies, including genomics and mathematical models, into existing tree breeding programs to generate pest resistant and drought tolerant trees. Another research project, Synbiomics, valued at $9.5-million, is being co-led by UBC's Dr. Harry Brumer and led by Dr. Emma Master of the University of Toronto. They are focused on harnessing the genetic potential of microorganisms to identify and develop new biocatalysts that can be used to create materials from trees, such as resins, coatings, bioplastics and adhesives. That project hopes to also foster small and medium-sized enterprises that will work together with nearby pulp mills, creating economic opportunities for Canada's forest sector and rural communities. "The application of genomics technology to forestry challenges is a direct link from laboratory to product support," says Dr. Catalina Lopez-Correa, Chief Scientific Officer and Vice President, Sector Development, at Genome BC. "We are investing in this innovative work because there is a real opportunity to ensure the continuing success of a major Canadian economic sector and find cost efficiencies in the process." These projects were awarded through Genome Canada's 2015 Large-Scale Applied Research Project Competition Natural Resources and the Environment: Sector Challenges - Genomic Solutions. Funders of this work include Genome Canada, Genome BC, Genome Quebec, Ontario Genomics, the BC Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Operations, Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec, Natural Resources Canada, Forest Products Innovations, and the Canadian Wood Fibre Centre and other partners. Genome British Columbia leads genomics innovation on Canada's West Coast and facilitates the integration of genomics into society. A recognized catalyst for government and industry, Genome BC invests in research, entrepreneurship and commercialization in life sciences to address challenges in key sectors such as health, forestry, fisheries, aquaculture, agri-food, energy, mining and environment. Genome BC partners with many national and international public and private funding organizations to drive BC's bioeconomy. In addition to research, entrepreneurship and commercialization programs, Genome BC is committed to fostering an understanding and appreciation of the life sciences among teachers, students and the general public. <http://www.genomebc.ca/> www.genomebc.ca ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard P.

Website: <http://www.cfc2017.in/> http://www.cfc2017.in/ Brochure: attached The world today is undergoing rapid socio-economic and technological changes, which have implications for the forest and environment sector, in turn affecting the ecological, economic and social well being of the people. The forestry sector must keep pace and adapt to these changes. The "Commonwealth" refers to the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of 53 sovereign nations that works together to achieve international goals such as Peace, Democracy and Consensus-building, Law, Human Rights and Development, Environmentally Sustainable Economic Development with greater trust and mutual understanding. Environment and forests are global resources and need to be focused upon by the global fraternity due to the pressures they are under as a result of the alarming growth in the human population, pressures that are being exacerbated by climate and environmental change. The year 2017 will be a key occasion for forestry professionals, academicians and all those interested in and associated with forestry sector in the Commonwealth; they will gather and share their experiences with a view to learn and develop a vision for the future that will involve inclusive and sustainable growth and development. The commonwealth forestry conferences have been held since 1920, when the first (Empire) Forestry Conference was held in London. Since then, the conferences have been held regularly to discuss various aspects of management of forests and focus the action on the changing priorities of the forestry sector. The 19th Commonwealth Forestry Conference is scheduled to be held at Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India from 3rd to 7th April, 2017. The ICFRE and FRI will be the Focal point of the conference, with support from MOEF & CC, Government of India and Commonwealth Forestry Association. The major theme of the conference will be: "Forests for Prosperity and Posterity" Abstract submission Abstract submission will be open until 7 November 2016, at <http://www.cfc2017.in/call-for-papers/> http://www.cfc2017.in/call-for-papers/, containing detailed instructions on how to proceed. The sub-themes are: 1. Biodiversity conservation and management 2. Livelihood and economic security from forests 3. Diversification, multiple use and sustainable harvest 4.

All submissions must be made online at the official congress website at <http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts/> http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts Session 153: Genetics and Genomics for Conservation, Climate Adaptation and Sustainable Management of Forests Congress Theme 2: Forests and Climate Change Organizers Om P. Rajora, Coordinator IUFRO 2.04.01 – Population, ecological and conservation genetics Filippos A. Aravanopoulos, Deputy Coordinator IUFRO 2.04.01 – Population, ecological and conservation genetics Description of the Session and the IUFRO/Congress Themes Natural and anthropogenic disturbances, such as deforestation, fragmentation, insect and disease outbreaks and climate and environment change are major threats to the conservation and sustainability of forests and stability of forest ecosystems. Genetic diversity is the basis of all biodiversity because it provides the raw material for survival, adaptation and evolution of all organisms, especially under changed environment, climate and disease conditions. Therefore, conservation and management of genetic diversity in forest trees is critical for the stability and functioning of forest ecosystems because forest trees are normally the keystone species of many ecosystems, and many faunal and floral associations depend on their existence. Consequently, genetic diversity of forest trees provides the foundation for forest sustainability and ecosystem stability. Our understanding of the genetic diversity and population structure of forest tree species and genetic impacts of forest management practices and natural disturbances is rapidly progressing, but genetic resources of numerous ecosystems and species are endangered and may face extinction. Also, to advance measures to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change by developing and managing well-adapted, genetically diverse and healthy forest resources, it is critical to understand the genetic basis of local adaptation and that of responses and adaptation to climate change in forest trees. Emerging population, ecological and conservation genetics and genomics approaches enhance the opportunities to address these critical forest genetics research needs. The session will explore the progress and promises of forest genetics and genomics research for the conservation of forest genetic resources and understanding adaptation in forest trees with the objective to define priorities for future research in order to maximize its impact on genetic biodiversity conservation, adaptation and sustainable forest management, especially under the climate change conditions. IUFRO/Congress Themes Addressed: Forest Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services; Forests and Climate Change *********************************************** Om P.
