Reminder: Call for session proposal for all-Division 7 meeting within the 125th Anniversary IUFRO Congress, 19-22 September 2017 in Freiburg

by Eckehard Brockerhoff

Dear friends and colleagues, Further to my earlier message (below), there is just a week to go until the deadline of the call for session proposals for the IUFRO Anniversary Congress next year. It would be fantastic to have good participation at our embedded all-Division 7 meeting. Please see my message below for more information and background. Kind regards, Ecki Brockerhoff (Coordinator, IUFRO Division 7 - Forest Health) From: Eckehard Brockerhoff Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2016 3:35 PM To:… [View More] 'rg70100-forclimair(a)lists.iufro.org'; 'rg70200-forpath(a)lists.iufro.org'; 'rg70300-forent(a)lists.iufro.org'; 'div7(a)lists.iufro.org' Dear friends and colleagues, As we cancelled the all-Division 7 conference in Istanbul that was planned for April 2016 (due to safety concerns), the Research Group coordinators, deputies and I have been thinking about options for a postponed or replacement all-Division conference. We decided to use the opportunity to schedule our all-Division 7 meeting embedded within the upcoming 125th Anniversary IUFRO Congress next year (19-22 September 2017, Freiburg, Germany, see http://iufro2017.com/ ). This will be a special Congress, with participation from all of IUFRO, celebrating the 125th Anniversary of IUFRO. A number of other IUFRO Divisions will be embedding their all-division meetings within the congress and we (Div. 7) were invited to do so too. It is indeed an excellent opportunity to meet in Freiburg, and joining this helps to keep things simple because the congress organising team is helping with the organisational aspects and the venue. Incidentally, Sandy Liebhold (Deputy Div. 7 and Entomology RG coordinator) will chair the Congress Scientific Committee (for the entire congress). We are also planning a field trip and Hervé Jactel (INRA, France) offered to organise it. This will likely include visits to forests in the Vosges Mountains (to see and discuss some forest health issues) as well as wine tasting in the Rhine Valley. We encourage you all to consider submitting a session proposal for the all Div. 7 portion within the conference. The deadline for session proposals is 15 June 2016 (see http://iufro2017.com/call-for-session/ ). In contrast to the IUFRO World Congress, IUFRO officers are welcome to organize sessions at the Freiburg congress around working party themes. We also may propose the sessions that were planned for the cancelled conference in Istanbul at the 125th Anniversary Congress so organizers of those session are welcome to resubmit them here too. When submitting a proposal online, be sure to check the box indicating that the proposed session would be in the embedded all-Division 7 meeting. Regarding safety concerns in Europe, as Freiburg is a relatively small city and most probably not a prime target for any malicious activity, it should be safe enough to encourage your participation. Regarding other options for Div. 7 meetings, there are already a number of working party meetings planned. An overview of the ones coming up has been given in our recently published annual report, seehttp://www.iufro.org/download/file/23800/2797/70000-annual-report-2015_p… ). More information on upcoming events is also given on the IUFRO website athttp://www.iufro.org/events/calendar/current/ Please get in touch with us if you have any thoughts or questions about this. And please consider submitting a session proposal for the 125th Anniversary Congress.

There may still be room also in the sessions that Elena Paoletti and Jolanda Roux are organising. Please note, the deadline for abstract submission is coming up soon (on 15 May) so there is not terribly much time left. If you have any questions or comments, for example, if you would like to know whether we would consider a presentation on a particular topic suitable, feel free to get in touch with us (see our email addresses below).

Cancellation of IUFRO All Division 7 Conference – “Global Change and Forest Health” in Istanbul from 25-29 April 2016

by Eckehard Brockerhoff

Dear friends and colleagues, Cancellation of IUFRO All Division 7 Conference – “Global Change and Forest Health” in Istanbul from 25-29 April 2016 This is addressed to all those who planned to attend the Division 7 conference in Istanbul next month. Given the recent terrorist attacks in Ankara and Istanbul, the threat of more attacks, and several governments now advising caution regarding visits to sites of interest and the use of public transport, the conference organising committee has … [View More]decided to cancel (or postpone) the conference. We have been planning this event for about five years, and a huge amount of work has gone into its preparation by Yusuf Serengil and his colleagues, the local organisers, as well as the scientific committee. We are very sad that it has come to this, but under the circumstances we feel it is no longer possible to provide the conference delegates with a worry-free event. We were hoping that the situation in Turkey would improve or at least that Istanbul remained free of terrorist activities; however, the opposite occurred. Many of you will already have made travel arrangements, and we appreciate that it is inconvenient to cancel at this stage. Yusuf Serengil and the University of Istanbul have agreed to reimburse the registration fee (less bank charges). Travel agents, airlines and hotels may waive or reduce cancellations fees if you point out the threat of terrorist attacks and government travel advisories. Unfortunately, the conference organisers or IUFRO cannot assist with this. It is too late to change the venue to another location, while maintaining the dates. However, the Division 7 coordinators will discuss the options for a future Division 7 conference, and we will advise you about this in the coming months. In the meantime there will be other conferences and meetings of Division 7 working groups later this year, including our contribution to the IUFRO Regional Congress for Asia and Oceania in Beijing in October. We look forward to seeing you at another event this year or in the near future. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns or questions. Best regards, Eckehard (“Ecki”) Brockerhoff Coordinator, IUFRO Division 7, Forest Health On behalf of the Conference Committee Yusuf Serengil Faculty of Forestry, Istanbul University - Turkey Coordinator IUFRO Working Party WP 7.01.08 Local Organizer, Conference Scientific and Organizing Committees serengil(a)istanbul.edu.tr<mailto:serengil@istanbul.edu.tr>, yserengil(a)yahoo.com<mailto:yserengil@yahoo.com> Eckehard Brockerhoff Scion (New Zealand Forest Research Institute) and University of Canterbury, School of Biological Sciences - New Zealand Coordinator IUFRO Division 7, Forest Health Member of the Conference Scientific Committee eckehard.brockerhoff(a)scionresearch.com<mailto:eckehard.brockerhoff@scionresearch.com> Elena Paoletti National Research Council Sustainable Plant Protection Institute - Italy Coordinator IUFRO RG 7.1, Impacts of Air Pollution and Climate Change on Forest Ecosystems Member of the Conference Scientific Committee elena.paoletti(a)cnr.it<mailto:elena.paoletti@cnr.it> Jolanda Roux Tree Pathology Co-operative Programme (TPCP) Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute - South Africa Coordinator IUFRO RG 7.2, Pathology Member of the Conference Scientific Committee Jolanda.Roux(a)up.ac.za<mailto:Jolanda.Roux@up.ac.za> Andrew (“Sandy”) Liebhold US Forest Service Northern Research Station - USA Coordinator IUFRO RG 7.3, Entomology Member of the Conference Scientific Committee aliebhold(a)fs.fed.us<mailto:aliebhold@fs.fed.us> This e-mail and any attachments may contain information which is confidential or subject to copyright.

Don’t hesitate to contact us directly by email, My best, Ayco Tack & Kristoffer Hylander ayco.tack(a)su.se kristoffer.hylander(a)su.se 1. PhD student in Plant Ecology: Interactions between Plants, Microbes and Insects The position will be associated with the long-term research on insect and pathogen dynamics on wild plants in the research group of Ayco Tack. The overall aim of the research is to understand the role of plant–microbe-insect interactions in structuring plant-based communities in nature. The core of the PhD project is to investigate the role of insect microbes (endosymbionts) and plant-based microbes (endophytes, pathogens) in understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of the diverse insect and pathogen community on the oak tree Quercus robur. The main tasks include field work (field sampling and surveys, dataloggers) and laboratory work (molecular identification of the endophytes and insect endosymbionts). The work may also involve experiments where the microbial community on the leaves or roots is manipulated. The exact direction of the project will depend on the skills and interest of the applicant. 2. PhD-position in Plant Ecology at Stockholm University (coffee, pests, Ethiopia) The position will be associated with the project “Managing coffee to increase farmer’s livelihood and biodiversity in Ethiopia” with is financed by SIDA. The aim of the project is to increase the knowledge of how to manage coffee systems for positive synergies between biodiversity and farmer’s incomes. The core of the project is to investigate plant-fungal interactions of major coffee pathogens along a gradient in management intensity. Along this gradient we will investigate fungal infestation rates, coffee yields, coffee genetic variation and various measures of biodiversity and management. The field work will take place in Ethiopia but the position is placed at Stockholm University. ____________________________________ 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 ___________________________________ [View Less]

Call for papers. Sixth Sudden Oak Death Science Symposium: Biosecurity, Plant Trade, and Native Habitats. June 21-23, 2016. San Francisco

by Frankel, Susan -FS

Sixth Sudden Oak Death Science Symposium: Biosecurity, Plant Trade, and Native Habitats Preliminary Announcement and Call for Papers June 21 – 23, 2016 Fort Mason Center 2 Marina Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94123 The Sixth Sudden Oak Death Science Symposium: Biosecurity, Plant Trade, and Native Habitats brings together scientists and practitioners from throughout the world working on Phytophthora plant pathogens in wildands and nurseries. The meeting will provide a scientific update on the … [View More]state of our knowledge about Phytophthoras and associated diseases in urban and wildland forests as well as nurseries, landscapes, and restoration areas. This conference reflects widening concerns related to Phytophthora species in U.S. wildlands and the potential for spread from native and ornamental plant production facilities to restoration sites and adjacent lands. Phytophthora ramorum, cause of sudden oak death and other plant diseases, has killed millions of tanoak and coast live oak trees along the Pacific Coast and forced the removal of millions of Japanese larch trees in the U.K. The pathogen was inadvertently introduced to both North America and Europe on ornamental nursery stock and is a quarantined pest in over 65 countries. In California, the first U.S. detection of P. tentaculata in native plant nurseries and on outplanted restoration plants has heighted concern over other Phytophthora species in endemic plant and animal habitats. This meeting will expand the concept of the Sudden Oak Death Science Symposiums, with presentations on sudden oak death research and management progress since the Fifth Sudden Oak Death Science Symposium (June 2012, Petaluma) as well as other nursery and wildland Phytophthora issues. Call for Papers, Case Studies, Speakers, and Posters We are seeking abstracts (up to 1 page) of proposed papers or posters by January 29, 2016. These should be submitted via email using the format (including font size and style) of the attached MS-Word example and should clearly state if you would like to present a paper or a poster. Abstracts should be sent to: Katie Harrell, California Oak Mortality Task Force email: kpalmieri(a)berkeley.edu<mailto:kpalmieri@berkeley.edu> phone: 510-847-5482 or 530-350-7147 Symposium proceedings will be produced. Speakers are requested to provide manuscripts; extended abstracts will be accepted.Complete instructions for paper preparation will be sent out with abstract acceptance notifications. Topics Submissions should focus on one of the following areas addressing Sudden Oak Death/P. ramorum or Phytophthora spp. in native habitats, restoration areas and wildlands: biology and pathology; organisms associated with Phytophthoras; ecology; economic, social, and environmental impacts; modeling and risk assessment; management and control strategies; monitoring; arboriculture and urban forestry; nursery management; policy; or other related topics. Applicants will be notified by March 11, 2016 as to the acceptance of their submission. Conference Location and Information The Sixth SOD Science Symposium: Biosecurity, Plant Trade, and Native Habitats will be held at the Fort Mason Center (http://fortmason.org/) in San Francisco, California from June 21-23, 2016. This conference is aimed at researchers, natural resource and horticultural managers, regulators, policy makers, and public and private interest groups. Conference participants will need to find lodging at hotels, hostels, campgrounds, or other nearby venues. Travel expenses and registration fees are the responsibility of the speakers.

by Brigitte Burger

CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS <http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/en/news.asp?id=23.html> http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/en/news.asp?id=23.html Deadline for Submissions: 31 January 2016 The Congress Scientific Committee invites submission of session proposals for the IUFRO Regional Congress for Asia and Oceania 2016. In keeping with the spirit of the Congress title – Forests for Sustainable Development: The Role of Research, the Congress Scientific Committee is developing a program that will … [View More]highlight the role of forest science in informing forest-related policies and management in Asia and Oceania to cope with the significant environmental, social and economic changes in the region and address the consequent challenges. The Congress program will reflect the forest science community’s diverse contributions, inside and outside the region, across the full range of natural and social science disciplines at various levels, from the gene to the globe, with special emphasis on key issues and research areas identified in IUFRO’s 2015-2019 Strategy. Session proposals will be accepted that address one or more of the following Congress themes: 1. Sustainable forest management for enhanced provision of ecosystem services; 2. Forest and landscape rehabilitation and restoration; 3. Combating desertification, disaster and risk management, and climate change mitigation and adaptation; 4. Planted forests for fostering a greener economy; 5. Innovative technologies for bio-energy, bio-materials and other products; 6. Urban forestry for human health and community well-being; 7. Social and cultural aspects of forests, including traditional knowledge, human health, community participation and gender roles; 8. Forest and agro-forest management for food security, enhanced livelihoods and non-timber forest products. Who may submit a session proposal? All who share an interest in the future of forests and forest science session 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, please see the list of CSC Members) 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–if assistance is needed to identify appropriate partners within IUFRO, please contact the CSC Chair or other members of the CSC. Preparing and submitting a session proposal Proposals should be submitted between now and January 31, 2016 (please see Important Dates) by submitting online ( <http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/> http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/) and then sending email to iufro_ao2016(a)163.com attached with the completely and appropriately filled Session Proposal. Proposals will not be accepted after January 31, 2016. Session proposals should include basic information on session organizer(s), session title, alignment with Congress themes, and a short abstract of the session proposal, that describes the session objectives, content and proposed session format (i.e., presentation of individual papers and/or posters, moderated panel discussion, or other forms of presentation) and lists proposed speakers (if known), their organizational affiliations and tentative titles of their presentations. Proposed sessions should be organized to be 2 hours in length. For sessions involving oral presentations, were recommended that each speaker be given 15-20 minutes for his/her presentation. Please note that the abstract submission process will be open to all, so session organizers may need to include oral presentations and/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 and relevance to the Congress themes. 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 non‐IUFRO organizations; geographic and gender diversity of proposed session speakers or presenters; and the involvement of students and young scientists. Proposals will be evaluated as they are received, so we strongly encourage submissions well in advance of the January 31 deadline. Acceptance decisions will be made no later than March 15, 2016. An open Call for Abstracts will be issued on April 1 with online abstract submission until May 15 and acceptance decisions by July 15, 2016. Responsibilities of session organizers Session organizers of accepted proposals are expected to communicate with prospective presenters regarding submission of abstracts (online, from April 1 through May 15, 2016), and will be asked to review abstracts submitted for their sessions during the abstract review period (i.e., May 15 to July 15, 2016). Session organizers may be asked to assist the CSC in the editing of accepted abstracts. They will also be responsible for moderating sessions (or assigning session moderation responsibilities) and are encouraged to pursue publication options for papers presented in their sessions. Abstracts of papers and posters presented during the Congress will be printed and included in a Congress abstracts volume. As formal Congress proceedings with full papers will not be published, session organizers should explore alternative publication options (books, special issues of journals, etc.) for their sessions. We look forward to hearing from you and for your active participation in the design of an excellent scientific program for the IUFRO Regional Congress for Asia and Oceania 2016 in Beijing.

Horizon scanning survey on Biological Invasions: call for participants

by Thomas Boivin

Dear Colleagues, Please find below a call for participants to a horizon scanning project on biological invasions. It is available in three languages (English, French and Spanish). Sincerely yours, Thomas ------- *Alien futures horizon scanning survey: call for participants* /**Version française ci-dessous/ /**Versión española continuación / // *Alien Futures* is a new research project collecting and examining issues that may affect the future global and local management of … [View More]biological invasions. Horizon scanning is the systematic examination of future potential threats, opportunities and likely future developments. Some horizon scanning activities have already been undertaken about invasive species, for example focusing on high risk species (e.g. Roy et al. 2014), specific habitats (Ojaveer et al. 2014), or general issues within European invasion science (e.g. Caffrey et al. 2014). This project aims to complement these existing activities by exploring the wider environmental, social and technological issues external to invasion ecology that may have implications for the future management of invasive species. During the first phase of the project, we are gathering opinions on the global and local issues that might affect the management of biological invasions in the next 20 – 50 years. We want to explore issues that may emerge and have implications in a more distant future than currently considered in the management of biological invasions. These can be issues which might have positive or negative implications. We invite people working with or interested in biological invasions to fill in a survey on our website. *To find out more, and fill in the survey, please visit **www.alienfutures.org <http://www.alienfutures.org/>**.* We encourage you to think creatively beyond the time frame of your current work! We would also be very grateful if you could forward this email to colleagues or groups who may be interested in contributing. Please copy in info(a)alienfutures.org <mailto:info@alienfutures.org>./ / The survey also includes some questions about your background and your interest in biological invasions. It does not gather personally identifiable information unless you provide us with an email address in order to hear about project outputs./ / / /All of the issues identified will be published online in an open-access format, so please do not include any details that you would not wish to be published. Project outputs will include a long list of global issues, a long list of local issues and a shortlist of global issues. We will make the data available for use and further research, with workshops planned to explore the implications of these issues for policy and management. You can follow the progress of the project on our website www.alienfutures.org <http://www.alienfutures.org/>or follow us on Twitter @alienfutures <https://twitter.com/alienfutures> #alienfutures. Many thanks, /Helen Bayliss, Thomas Boivin, Katharina Dehnen-Schmutz, Laura Harrison and Julia Touza./ * ___________________________ * * * *Alien Futures* est un nouveau projet de recherche destiné à identifier les futures problématiques de gestion des invasions biologiques aux échelles mondiale et locale. Les analyses prospectivesont pour objectif un examen systématique de futures menaces et des possibilités d’y répondre. Celles qui ont été conduites sur les invasions biologiques s’intéressaient principalement aux espèces à haut risque (p. ex. Roy et al. 2014), à des habitats spécifiques (p.ex. Ojaveer et al. 2014), ou à des enjeux européens (p. ex. Caffrey et al. 2014). Alien Futures vise à compléter ces précédentes approches en explorant les futurs enjeux environnementaux, sociaux et techniques de la gestion des invasions biologiques. Ce projet consiste donc à recueillir les opinions sur les problématiques mondiales et locales associées à la gestion des invasions dans les 20 – 50 années à venir. Nous souhaitons en effet pouvoir identifier les questions et les points clés à prendre en compte au-delà des stratégies actuelles de gestion des invasions. Les enjeux et problématiques considérés peuvent avoir des répercussions positives ou négatives. Si vous travaillez sur, ou avez un intérêt pour, les invasions biologiques, nous vous invitons à répondre à une courte enquête en ligne sur notre site web. *Pour en savoir plus, et pour répondre à l’enquête, rendez-vous sur **<http://www.alienfutures.org/>www.alienfutures.org.* Nous vous encourageons à réfléchir de manière créative au-delà de votre propre période d’activité sur ce sujet ! Cette enquête inclut également quelques questions sur votre contexte professionnel et/ou d'intérêt en lien avec les invasions biologiques. Nous ne collectons aucune information personnelle et identifiable, à moins que vous ne nous communiquiez une adresse e-mail pour vous informer des résultats d’Alien Futures. Toutes les problématiques identifiées dans cette enquête seront publiées en ligne dans un format open-access, n’incluez donc pas dans vos réponses des détails que vous ne souhaitez pas voir publiés. *Les résultats d’Alien Futures incluront des listes exhaustives des problématiques mondiales et locales suggérées, et une liste de problématiques mondiales estimées prioritaires. * Nous rendrons les données disponibles pour des recherches futures sur le sujet et la planification de workshops destinés à explorer les conséquences de ces problématiques pour les politiques de gestion des invasions.

SAF opportunity: Associate Editors for Forest Science

by Brigitte Burger

SAF is seeking Associate Editors for Forest Science (looking for international professionals – ideally from Latin America, Asia, and Africa). Please distribute the job description below to your applicable colleagues and contacts. Interested individuals can apply by sending a CV to Matt Walls (wallsm(a)safnet.org) There is no technical deadline, but I would encourage those interested to contact Matt as soon as possible. Forest Science is a peer-reviewed journal publishing fundamental and … [View More]applied research that explores all aspects of natural and social sciences as they apply to the function and management of the forested ecosystems of the world. Topics include silviculture, forest management, biometrics, economics, entomology & pathology, fire & fuels management, forest ecology, genetics & tree improvement, geospatial technologies, harvesting & utilization, landscape ecology, operations research, forest policy, physiology, recreation, social sciences, soils & hydrology, and wildlife management. Forest Science currently has an editorial board comprised of 1 editor-in-chief, 3 applied research editors, and over 75 associate editors specializing in 18 areas of forestry and natural resources. Associate editors are responsible for assisting the editor in soliciting and developing articles of interest to forestry and natural resource researchers, academicians, and professionals, land managers, and policy makers; obtaining competent, timely reviews of assigned papers; and ensuring that the topics covered in Forest Science are balanced across discipline and employment categories. In more specific terms, there are two broad areas of responsibility. The first is the peer-review process, coordinating the review of scientific and technical manuscripts in the associate editor’s field that have been submitted to Forest Science for publication—generally by distributing them to three authorities in the relevant subject areas. To fulfill this task, associate editors must know the different subfields within his or her specialty, and who practices in these subfields, so that papers can be sent to appropriate, knowledgeable reviewers. Associate editors will be notified by the web-based peer review system, Rapid Review, that a manuscript has been sent for review. It is expected that the associate editor acknowledge the assignment and assign reviewers within 4 business days of receipt. Reviewers are asked to accept or decline a review assignment within 2 business days and return completed reviews within 15 business days; associate editors are expected to ensure that assignments are acknowledged and comments are returned in a timely manner. Associate editors are asked to review reviewer comments and ensure that they are delivered in a professional and constructive manner, then synthesize these comments for the Forest Science editor. If the reviewers should disagree markedly, the associate editor should recommend which course to take (accept, ask for revision, or reject), and provide guidance that the authors can follow when preparing their revision. The second area concerns the broader, less-defined role of consulting with and advising the Forest Science editor-in-chief in determining the content, direction, and focus of Forest Science, particularly in the specialties that he or she is responsible for. This would include being aware of new developments in the field, current controversies, and subjects that have not been adequately covered in Forest Science. Associate editors are encouraged to suggest possible topics and authors for appropriate articles. Thanks, Danielle Watson Assistant Director, Government Affairs and External Relations Society of American Foresters O: (866) 897-8720 ext. 202 C: (301) 526-8354 watsond(a)safnet.org [View Less]

IUFRO Task Forces: Open Call for Proposals

by Brigitte Burger

IUFRO Task Forces are established on a temporary basis to advance inter-disciplinary cooperation in inter-divisional forest research fields. Their focus is on emerging key issues that are of strong interests to policy makers and groups inside and outside the forest sector, and contribute to international processes and activities. During the IUFRO Board Meeting held in Salt Lake City in October 2014, a number of Principles were agreed upon as a basis for the establishment of Task Forces during … [View More]the current IUFRO term. In the view of the IUFRO Management Committee, the number of Task Forces to be convened during a given year may be up to ten, but in order to encourage activities across the full spectrum of IUFRO's disciplinary expertise, shorter-term, more tightly focused Task Forces are encouraged. This will enable IUFRO to establish new Task Forces on a periodic basis throughout the 2015-2019 Term to take advantage of emerging needs and opportunities. SELECTION CRITERIA Proposals for new Task Forces will be evaluated by the Management Committee based on the following criteria: • Contribution to implementation of the IUFRO Strategy 2015-2019; • Potential to strengthen cross-Divisional interaction on specific topics of global relevance related to one or more Emphasis Areas and/or Institutional Goals of the IUFRO Strategy 2015-2019 (for details see <http://www.iufro.org/discover/strategy/#c10578> http://www.iufro.org/discover/strategy/#c10578) • Engagement of two or more Divisions by specifically 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 undercut current work within IUFRO Divisions, but rather complement and expand their activities; • Specific contribution of the proposed Task Force to addressing broader policy processes or interdisciplinary science-policy initiatives; e.g., Future Earth (1) , Intergovernmental Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), etc.; • In case partner institutions are involved, brief justification for their involvement; • 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 current IUFRO term (until the 2019 World Congress in Brazil), it is highly recommended that proposed Task Forces consider more focused activities to be undertaken over a much shorter time period (i.e., 1-2 years); • Selection of Task Force members in a way that they reflect required scientific expertise, diversity, balance between North/South, natural and social sciences, and gender; • 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. Proposals are now being accepted for new Task Forces that would begin their work in early 2015. Please refer to the format (outlined below) when preparing your proposals. The deadline for submission of proposals is January 15th, 2015. All proposals will be reviewed by the Vice-President for Task Forces in consultation with other members of the IUFRO Management Committee and the Coordinators of IUFRO Divisions relevant to each proposal. Decisions on the establishment of new Task Forces will be made and communicated to the proposed Task Force coordinators by the end of February. The coordinators of new Task Forces will be invited to participate in the upcoming IUFRO Board meeting to be held in Vienna from April 15-17, 2015. FORMAT FOR TASK FORCE PROPOSALS Note: Proposals should include the following as concisely as possible, within 3-5 pages. • Name of proposed Task Force • Name of proposed Task Force coordinator, affiliation (including IUFRO position) and contact information • Names of proposed Task Force members, their affiliations (including IUFRO positions) and contact information Brief overview of the rationale, goals, and objectives of the proposed Task Force (1 paragraph) • Description of specific proposed Task Force activities, deliverables and timelines. This should include planned focused meetings with tangible outputs such as 'state-of-knowledge' reviews, journal papers, dedicated volumes, etc. • Budget table listing major activities and funding sources, if known – indicate if these funds are already secured. • Narrative addressing the following: - Contribution to implementation of the IUFRO 2015-2019 Strategy; - How the proposed Task Force will strengthen cross-Divisional interaction on specified topics related to IUFRO 2015-2019 Strategy's Emphasis Areas and/or Institutional Goals , and how the Task Force will complement and/or expand activities of existing IUFRO Divisional units; - Specific contribution of the proposed Task Force to addressing broader policy processes or interdisciplinary science-policy initiatives. The deadline for submission of proposals is January 15th, 2015. Proposals should be sent to John Parrotta ( <mailto:jparrotta@fs.fed.us> jparrotta(a)fs.fed.us) with a copy to Renate Prüller ( <mailto:prueller@iufro.org> prueller(a)iufro.org) (1) Future Earth is an ICSU interdisciplinary initiative to develop knowledge for responding effectively to the risks and opportunities of global environmental change and for supporting transformation towards global sustainability.

The theme recognizes the host city, Washington D.C. which serves as the headquarters for federal agencies charged with … [View More]managing National Forests in the U.S. The main goal of the conference will be to bring researchers, practitioners, and students in contact with agency leadership to inform each other and consider future trends and directions regarding forest health. Special emphasis will be on encouraging the use of research-based information in developing policies and actions that most benefit forest health in the face of a changing global environment. Our next generation of forest entomologists (students and post-docs) are our future leaders. Their exposure to agency leadership policy and the political environment that helps shape it will be critical in their professional development. The Conference will be held at the Washington Marriott at Wardman Park ( <http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/wasdt-washington-marriott-wardman-par…> http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/wasdt-washington-marriott-wardman-par…) We have arranged to contract off-season govt. per diem room rates during prime travel season.

IUFRO Pine Wilt Disease unit 7.02.10 symposium 2013; second call

by Schröder, Thomas

Dear colleague, in a few days the deadline for submitting abstracts for the upcoming IUFRO PWD symposium will end. So I like to remind all of you who have interesting research results in the framework of pine wood nematode, pine wilt disease and the related vectors and are willing to participate at the meeting to sent their abstract using the conference tool on the symposium website http://dpg.phytomedizin.org/de/pwdc2013/. The topics which will be covered by the symposium are: . Pine Wood … [View More]Nemtode (PWN) Biology, Population dynamics, Epidemiology, Modeling · PWN in international trade, pathways and impacts · Systematic and diagnostics · PWN interactions with bacteria and fungi · Insect Vector · Pine Wilt Disease management and contingency planning Choose the "registration" button and you will be linked to the conference tool. Currently we have still enough possibilities for presentations, so I like to inform you that we postponed the deadline for one week to give you the opportunity to submit your papers calmly. So the final deadline will be 7th of July. All the other deadlines will stay as they are. For the first round of abstracts you may only submit a very brief summary of your intended presentation. This will be the basis for the review by the scientific committee. At the end of July you will be informed about the acceptance of your presentation and we will also provide guidance for the abstracts intended to be published as conference proceedings. Additional information are available on the homepage: http://dpg.phytomedizin.org/de/pwdc2013/the-conference/instructions-to-the-…. In the meantime the conference homepage was updated and several additions were made. So there were made special arrangements with two hotels and we reserved 70 rooms: http://dpg.phytomedizin.org/de/pwdc2013/venue/accomodation/. The keyword for the room reservation and special price is "IUFRO". I like to advise you to choose one of the two hotels because the bus transfer to the conference room will only depart from those hotels. To give the local organizers more time for their work I like to ask you to resister timely, not only because the early bird fee payment is only valid until 31 July 2013. In the framework of paying the conference fee I like to request participants from non European Union countries to pay the registration fee by credit card to avoid additional bank charges which have to be paid by the participant. Thank you for your cooperation. The organization committee would be grateful if you could share this email with people you think could be interested to participate and especially to those whom you sent the first call. Thank you! I hope to see you in Braunschweig! With best regards for the local organizing board Thomas Schroeder P.S.: As I combined several email lists it might be the case that you got my email repeatedly. Sorry for any inconvenience which is caused by that! .

This includes provenance and progeny testing, gene conservation, landscape genomics, breeding, species hybridization, clonal propagation and testing, tissue or cell culture, molecular genetics, and the genetics of host-pathogen interactions, as well as ecology, evolutionary dynamics and management of these species. Increasingly though we are using this knowledge to address issues related to climate change, land use pressure and conservation 7.02.05 – Rusts of forest trees <http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-7/70000/70200/70205/> http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-7/70000/70200/70205/ Our Working Party aims to bring together scientists and investigators working on tree rusts. Our goal is to foster scientific discussion and exchanges relating to tree rust epidemiology, biology, host-pathogen interactions, resistance, control and management, and genomics. Our working group meets approximately once every 4 years in locations in Europe, North America or Asia. We usually meet in locations that allow us to discuss our scientific findings and have field trips in a friendly and relaxed environment which is conducive to exchanges and debates. We want to place a strong emphasis on participation of young investigators and students, as these meetings provide unique experiences to meet and exchange with the related community. Strobusphere <http://dendrome.ucdavis.edu/strobusphere/> http://dendrome.ucdavis.edu/strobusphere/ In North America, a collaborative effort among researchers has begun, starting with a multi-national <http://dendrome.ucdavis.edu/strobusphere/workshop2008.php> White Pine Genomic Resource Workshop held on October 22-23, 2008 at the Dorena Genetic Resource Center in Cottage Grove, OR. The objective of this workshop was to discover and identify research objectives, strengths, scope and resources among the various working agencies. This collaborative effort is designed as a foundation to build wider scientific participation with a scope that spans molecular to landscape models, from host to pathogens and alternative hosts. The Strobusphere working group arose from this 2008 workshop. A notable work in progress: the sugar pine genome sequence is slated for completion in 2013 by PineRefSeq project ( <http://pinegenome.org/pinerefseq/> http://pinegenome.org/pinerefseq/) The sugar pine genome will be mostly finished and released to the public before the meeting in June 2014.

IUFRO WP 9.01.01: Call for papers/contributions: IUFRO and Information:Direction 2012

by burger

IUFRO - 9.01.01 - Library, information networks and terminology Call for papers/contributions: IUFRO and Information: Direction 2012 IUFRO Division 9 Conference Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina, 8-10 May 2012 ------------- IUFRO and Information: Direction 2012 Information has been central to IUFRO's brief since its foundation in the nineteenth century, and it has maintained a specialist research group dealing with information in various forms for well over a century. Following the latest … [View More]re-organisation, this role is now held by the new IUFRO group 9. 01, Information and Communication, which brings together the traditional library, information networks and terminology activities (formerly 6.03) with communications, public relations, extension and knowledge exchange, along with the long-existing Latin American and Caribbean information systems network. The All-Division 9 conference in Sarajevo, May 9-11 2012, gives us a great opportunity to explore these newly-unified territories and discover synergies within them that will benefit both IUFRO's internal information exchange and the global forest information network. Each subgroup of 9.01 will offer an individual programme, and this is a call for contributions for the session to be organised by 9.01.01, Library, Information Networks and Terminology, entitled IUFRO and Information: Direction 2012. For full details of the Sarajevo conference see http://www.foper.org/iufro_1.html. Objectives for the session are: 1) To involve the widest possible cross-section of those with an interest in forest-related information 2) To explore opportunities for cross-sectoral work between the various sub-sections of 9.01 and across IUFRO generally, to support and enhance information provision is its widest sense 3) To derive from this a timely and relevant agenda for 9.01.01 to take us up to the next World Congress in 2014 and beyond. So we invite your ideas! In which directions should we be heading in 2012? What are your priorities in managing information today? What solutions have you found, and what support do you need to help establish new systems and services - or to reinforce existing systems much valued but now under threat, perhaps for economic or staffing reasons? We welcome proposals for conventional papers (15min maximum), and also short contributions (maximum 5 mins) which can be presented in café-style discussion sessions. We recognise that funding to attend conferences is often difficult to come by these days, particularly in the library and information sector, and many who would be interested may be unable to attend. We welcome contributions from you too! and strongly encourage you to send in short pieces which can be discussed by conference participants. This can be in any form you like, e.g. PowerPoint, video (e.g. YouTube), social media (Twitter etc), e-mail etc. We are not looking for sophisticated or time-consuming presentation, but for ideas : suggestions for activities where we as a group of information professionals can make a difference to you, whether you are an information provider or user, or both. Traditionally, our group has been active in the areas of networking, classification and terminology, and in supporting the Global Forest Information Service (GFIS); and more recently in the developing areas of data management/archiving, mentoring, training & support and evidence-based forestry. Ideas for further development in those areas are welcome, but do not limit yourselves to them: information is key to every area of human activity so nothing is barred! Please send your suggestions in not more than 450 words, together with full name of authors, affiliations, and an e-mail address by February 20, 2012, to gillian.petrokofsky(a)plants.ox.ac.uk<mailto:gillian.petrokofsky@plants.ox.ac. uk>. Please share this call for papers widely. Many thanks! _______________________________________________ posted on behalf of 9.01.01 Coordinator Gillian Petrokofsky by Brigitte Burger, IUFRO Headquarters [View Less]

Re: [IUFRO Div 7] need your help locating survivor American elm trees

by Brasier, Clive

Kathleren Thanks for that. Have forwarded your info to Jelle Hiemstra. See below. Good luck with the tolerant U americana searches. Clive Brasier ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Prof Clive Brasier, Emeritus Mycologist Forest Research, Alice Holt Lodge, Farnham, Surrey GU10 4LH, UK Tel direct dial : (+44) (0) 1420 526240 Tel switchboard: (+44) (0) 1420 222545 Fax : (+44) (0) 1420 23653 email: >clive.brasier(a)forestry.gsi.gov.… [View More]uk< ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Dear colleagues, In 2011 it is already 8 years since the 2nd International Elm Symposium was held in Valsain, Segovia Spain. In the past years in the Netherlands several projects concerning elm have been carried out including a 4-year project testing and comparing the resistance of the present elm cultivars. That project was initiated jointly by PPO-WUR, WUR-Alterra, the city of Amsterdam and tree nursery "de Bonte Hoek" and will be concluded in 2011. In addition a programme for monitoring the development of different elm cultivars in several newly planted roadside plantations has been started together with the city of Amsterdam and several other cities. Finally the city of Amsterdam has recently initiated an elm arboretum. Although we do not exactly know what research on elm is still going on or has been done elsewhere in the past 8 years, we suppose that also in other countries there will be new results and developments to be reported. Therefore the idea came up that it may be time for a third International Elm Symposium. PPO-WUR, Plant Publicity Holland, the city of Amsterdam and "de Bonte Hoek" are prepared to take the initiative for such a meeting. The preliminary timing and place we have in mind would be 2-3 days in may-early June 2012 in Amsterdam. The programme of course still is to be decided, but currently we are thinking about the following elements: * At least one day of presentations and discussions on progress in elm research and developments in use of elms * A visit to Floriade 2012 (http://www.floriade.nl/) the world horticultural expo in Venlo NL, including a guided tour and a visit to the elm exhibit * A one day excursion to visit the elm arboretum and the elm lining the canals, both in Amsterdam The venue of the meeting probably will be at the Floriade 2012 and the targeted audience for this meeting are scientists working on elm and elm diseases as well as interested growers and urban green managers. In the programme we seek to combine new advances in science with the experience of growers and users of elm. With this mail we (that is Hans Kaljee (City of Amsterdam), Ronnie Nijboer (Boomkwekerij Bonte Hoek), Roel van Dijk (Plant Publicity Holland) and Jelle Hiemstra (PPO-WUR)) would like to investigate if there is enough interest in such a symposium. Please let us know if you think organising the 3rd International Elm Symposium in 2012 in the Netherlands is a good idea and if so, whether you intend to participate. Also we would like to receive suggestions for topics to be included in the programme and for colleagues that should be invited. Please feel free to forward this message to colleagues that may be interested. If the Symposium goes on, then of course there will be a formal call for papers and participation.

American elm was a dominant species in many swamp and floodplain forests in eastern US and Canada before Dutch elm disease (DED) reduced its populations. At our lab, we have a small plantation of elms in various stages of testing for DED tolerance. Several genotypes have been shown to tolerate DED, and a large portion of the progeny from crosses among these trees are DED-tolerant as well. We are currently testing the potential of seedlings from DED-tolerant crosses to be used for restoration plantings. It is our hope that large, stately American elm trees will someday grace our floodplain and swamp forests once again. We need more DED-tolerant genotypes of American elm to use as parent trees for our plantation in order to have enough genetic diversity to use it as a seed orchard for large-scale plantings. We are looking for healthy American elm trees larger than 24 inches DBH (diameter at breast height) that are growing in areas that have had DED and that have not been treated with fungicides to prevent DED. We are only interested in American elm trees growing within its native range. If you see a survivor elm that fits this description, please enter its location and DBH at our website: http://nrs.fs.fed.us/disturbance/invasive_species/ded/survivor_elms/ We will compile these entries in a database, prioritize the elms for sampling, contact land owners, and then collect small branches from the trees to propagate and test them for DED-tolerance. Please forward to anyone who knows how to identify elm trees and might have interest in this project.
