Dear all,
the International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO
task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality,
is presenting the second lecture of the online seminar series.
You are invited to join on *Jan 19 (4 pm, CET)*:
*Dr Flávia Costa, *Brazilian National Institute for Amazonian Research
(INPA)
*Tree mortality in the Amazon across local hydrological gradients: how
water table depth may save or condemn trees as climate changes*
_Abstract_: Dr Costa will present results of 20 years of investigation
on patterns of forest response to soil hydrology (more specifically
water table depth) during normal and extreme climatic years to examine
the hypothesis that shallow water tables buffer forests from droughts
and forests in these conditions may even be benefited by droughts. Dr
Costa will also present some data on the hydraulic trait distributions
along hydrological gradients to analyse the shifting implications to
mortality during moderate to strong droughts.
Please join us for this highly interesting seminar and register at:

_Dr Flávia Costa, Researcher @ Brazilian National Institute for
Amazonian Research (INPA)_
Dr Flávia Costa is plant ecologist studying forest dynamics,
anthropogenic impacts, functional and historical ecology of the Amazon
for the last 25 years, based at the Brazilian National Institute for
Amazonian Research (INPA, Manaus). Dr Costa's current research focuses
on the effects of local hydrology on the structure, composition,
dynamics and function of the species and forests facing climate change.
Dr Costa also runs the long-term ecological site of Reserva Ducke in the
central Amazon.

Dear colleagues,
The Forest Pests and Diseases lab at the UVa offers* 3
postdoctoral positions* to work on Forest Pathology issues:
A. One postdoc position to work on a project funded by the Spanish Ministry
"*RNAi technologies for the control of Pine Pitch Canker by Fusarium
circinatum " *(reference: PID2019-110459RB-I00).
B. Two postdoc positions to work on the project financed by the Junta de
Castilla y León "*Study of RNA viruses in forest ecosystems in Castilla y
León and its application for the prediction of future pandemics* " (reference:
VA208P20).
The profiles should include experience in forest pathology, molecular
techniques capacities and advanced knowledge in bioinformatics. More

Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration

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

Dear all,
please note that the International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative
of the IUFRO task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree
mortality, is organizing a series of online seminars. These seminars
will take place as online web seminars in regular intervals (6 to 8
seminars per year).
Our kick-off meeting took place on Nov 17 and the recording is now
available on the IUFRO youtube channel:

*MATT HANSEN*, University of Maryland, author of the *GLOBAL FOREST WATCH*
*Global forest monitoring using satellite data*
_Abstract_: Earth observation data enable the monitoring of forest
extent and change from national to global scales. Consistent processing
of time-series images has made possible the operational production of
global tree cover extent, loss and gain products. However, attribution
of dynamics in the context 1) reference state, for example forest type,
2) change factor, for example fire or logging, and 3) outcome, for
example land use type or natural recovery, is more challenging. In
addition to mapping, the requirement to perform robust sample-based
analyses to report on all themes is underappreciated. This talk will
review our work on characterizing forest dynamics at the global scale
using multi-source satellite imagery, including mapping and sampling, in
the context of current operational versus future aspirational capabilities.
