Deadline for Submissions: 31 January 2016
>From 24 to 27 October 2016, IUFRO will hold its first Regional Congress for Asia and Oceania in Beijing, China. Under the Congress title "Forests for Sustainable Development: the Role of Research", we hope to establish a cutting-edge scientific programme highlighting 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.
For such a programme to materialize, we need your contributions: diverse, from inside and outside the region, across the full range of natural and social science disciplines at various levels, from the gene to the globe.
Therefore please submit by 31 January at the latest your session proposals addressing 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.
For further details, please visit <http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/en/news.asp?id=23.html> http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/en/news.asp?id=23.html.
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.

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 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. Registration materials will be available soon.

Key points
The due date for abstract submission has been extended to 12 December.
To date we have received ca. 300 abstracts (oral and poster) and we have begun to review these. Session organisers will be invited shortly to review abstract submitted to their sessions.
Early Bird registration is available until 31 December 2015 (300 Euros regular, students receive a 50% discount)
Keynote speakers have been confirmed and more information is now available on the website (also see below)
Safety
The conference organizing committee continues to monitor the safety situation, and we are also consulting with the Secretariat of IUFRO. Other conferences in Turkey and Europe continue to go ahead as planned. The venue of our conference is in a quiet part of the city, and the location is regarded as safe.
We will advise you if there are any changes. Should it become necessary to postpone or cancel the conference, registration fees will be reimbursed in full (less transaction fees).
Keynote speakers
We have confirmed three keynote speakers who will address different aspects of the conference theme “Global Change and Forest Health”:
- Dr. Treena Burgess (Murdoch University, Australia, Associate Professor in Plant Sciences)
- Dr. Marcus Lindner (European Forest Institute, Head of Programme, Sustainability and Climate Change)
- Dr. Andrea Battisti (University of Padova, Italy, Professor of Forest Entomology)
See the website for further information.
Numerous other plenary and invited presentations will be given (and announced later).
Abstract submission
You are kindly invited to submit your abstract for oral or poster presentations (see www.foresthealth2016.com<http://www.foresthealth2016.com>). When you submit your abstract, you can select either one of the 16 pre-arranged sessions or a general session (“other”).
We will review all abstract submissions and ensure they will be placed in suitable sessions. Cross-disciplinary abstracts including two or more of the conference subjects (climate change, biological invasions, air pollution, forest pathology, forest entomology) are particularly encouraged.
Please submit your abstracts by 12 December 2015.
See the web page www.foresthealth2016.com<http://www.foresthealth2016.com> for more information about the conference.
