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

by Brigitte Burger

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

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

by Henrik Hartmann

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