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). Please support the Task Force - Forest Adaptation and Restoration under Global Change (Coordinator: Andreas Bolte, Markus Höhl, Survey admin; both Thuenen Institute) in expanding our common knowledge base on these very current and important topics! https://gdi.thuenen.de/wo/limesurvey/index.php/883655 We would like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration! ************************** Posted on behalf of the Task Force by Brigitte Burger, IUFRO Headquarters

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!
