Call for Participation in the 4th International Congress on Planted Forests
The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), in
partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO) and the State Forestry and Grassland Administration of China (SFGA),
is convening the 4th International Congress on Planted Forests at the China
National Convention Centre (CNCC), Beijing, China on October 23-25, 2018,
with optional post Congress excursions on October 26-27 with two routes, one
for the conservation planted forests in North China and one for the
industrial planted forests in South China. The Congress is organized by the
Chinese Academy of Forestry (CAF), the national research institution on
forestry in China.
The 4th International Congress on Planted Forests aims to investigate the
contribution of planted forests to green development in the context of
global changes. Topics include the sustainability of planted forests in the
context of changing climates and the future role of planted forests in
bio-resources sustainability, environmental protection and green
development. The Congress will also be a space of interface between
scientific communities, wider society and government policy initiatives
related to planted forests.
The 4th International Congress on Planted Forests will arrange 2 plenary
keynote presentations, 8 sub-plenary invited presentations, around 40
parallel technical sessions with around 240 oral presentations as well as
quite a number of poster presentations.
The 4th International Congress on Planted Forests is calling for submission
of session proposals and abstracts, as well as registration for
participation.
Important deadlines:
(1) Submission for session proposals: May 31, 2018 (with flexibility of
submission a week later if prior communication with the Congress Secretariat

Immediately after the 4th International Congress on Planted Forests, there

Forestry and associated international workshop in Beijing, China on October
26-27, 2018.
Please find as attached herewith the Congress Announcement.

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.
More information at: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests/special_issues/Decision_Support_to_Ecos…
On behalf the other co-editors of this SI, Harald Vacik, Keith Reynolds, Luiz Carlos Rodriguez and Emin Baskent,
Jose

Dear Colleagues;
i) the registration and abstract submission to our conference goes in full speed, and for now we have around 50 participants who registered, and some of you already sent abstracts both for talks and posters; each of those registered have received automatically generated confirmation, and those that submitted, a personal e-mail from me confirming the submission;
ii) ... but PLEASE NOTE that the deadline for "early bird" registration expires on 2nd of May , and there are just three days left, just in case you intend to come and would like to save 125 EUR; here is the reference to "Registration" link in Conference homepage:
https://www.slu.se/iufro-rots2018 (please read all of it thoroughly)
therefore, as it is the fact that many more colleagues have preliminary expressed interest for participation, it is in your interest to proceed with the registration in a good time;
iii) please proceed also with accommodation arrangements for Uppsala; as stated in the website, accommodation in Uppsala is to be arranged by yourself; do not delay with hotel reservations, as academic activities in both universities of Uppsala start the same week as our Conference;
iv) onward trip to Gotland by ferry is included into registration fee, and reservations for that have been already made (for now, for 85 participants: "first registered, first served"), while the return from Gotland is up to you; note that a ferry from Visby harbour to the mainland on September 1st departs at 07:15 with subsequent bus connections upon its arrival to Nynäshamn; https://www.destinationgotland.se/en/ferry/
this is relevant, as we are supposed to stay within a walking distance from the harbour (but see below);
v) IMPORTANT! the situation with accommodation in Visby has changed drastically just a day ago; on Friday, i tried to make reservation for myself, first at one, then at another of Best Western hotels recommended on Conference website, just to find out that they are fully booked!
vi) yet after some slight panic, even better option has been found:
https://www.scandichotels.se/hotell/sverige/visby/scandic-visby?cmpid=ppc_B…
for now, 45 standard double rooms (for those, price 1220 SEK/night, for now, approx. 120 EUR, payment at arrival), 20 family rooms and 10 suites are pre-reserved at this hotel for our Conference (note that double accommodation could be an option also in standard rooms);
upon reservation, provide reservation number 46605559-LIFE+; the group reservation for us is secured until 15th of May; after that date, the rooms become "loose", and accommodation arrangements in Visby are fully up to you;
the hotel is situated approx. 100 m from the terminal, and within walking distance from Conference venue:
Wisby Strand Conference Centre in Visby<http://www.wisbystrand.se/>
accommodation so close to the terminal is very relevant both for arrival (just before midnight on August 29th, and hotel knows about it), and for departure on early morning (07:15) on September 1st;
vii) regarding Conference publications, please also consider preparing manuscripts for peer-reviewed scientific journals; those will be considered for publication in good reputation, non-commercial (free-of charge), open access, WoS impact factor journals; ... but should be ready by the end of the Conference, where we also discuss in more detail the process of eventual submission;
looking forward to greeting you in Sweden, and kind regards;
rimvys
