Dear all:
Submissions are invited for a special issue of the *International Journal
of Biodiversity Science, Ecosystem Services & Management*, entitled *Synergies
between biodiversity and management for high-value timber species*. This
issue is based on a technical session at IUFRO 2014, but the issue is open
to authors who did not participate in the session. The deadline has been
extended to April 15, 2015.
This Special Issue examines the scientific basis for managing to create a
positive synergy between biodiversity and high-value timber species.
Management to conserve biodiversity and management for the production of
high-value timber species can be in conflict with each other. The
increasing need to conserve biodiversity and the ongoing demand for
high-value timbers prompt the goal to integrate these management objectives.
Therefore papers are requested for a Special Issue that explores positive
interactions between biodiversity and high-value timbers. This Special
Issue aims for a global scope, including tropical and temperate high-value
timbers. Possible topics include:
- How biodiversity can protect high-value species from pests and
pathogens
- How biodiversity, as an indicator of more intact ecosystems, can
sustain production of high-value species
- How high-value species in restoration and plantations can reestablish
or conserve biodiversity
- How high-value species in enrichment plantings or natural forest can
help maintain intact forests and their biodiversity
- How high-value species themselves are examples of biodiversity in need
of conservation

***************************************************************************************************************************************************
Dear friends and colleagues,
#FacesOfTheForest Photo Contest – Winning photos to be part of an exhibition at the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site during IV Mediterranean Forest Week in Barcelona.
The first edition of the #FacesOfTheForest Photo Contest, launched by the Forest Communicators Network in the Mediterranean Region and Near East (FCNMedNE), is organised in the framework of the 2015 International Day of Forests. This year’s theme is “Forests | Climate | Change”, climate change being one of the biggest challenges facing our planet while the role of our forests in mitigation needs to be more clearly understood.
The #FacesOfTheForest Photo Contest aims at highlighting the vital role of the forests in the development of forest communities. Photos should be taken in the forest in Mediterranean and Near Eastern countries and should reflect the role played by forest people and forests in general on the following topic(s): income generation; mitigation of climate change; water conservation; soil conservation; sustainable development; social equity, gender balance; women empowerment; youth development.
A selection of the best photos will be shared on the <http://www.fao.org/forestry/communication-toolkit/86425/en/> FAO website of the FCNMedNE, printed and presented in an exhibition during the IV Mediterranean Forest Week in Barcelona (17-20 March 2015).
Deadline for sending photos: 12th March 2015 at 23:59 UTC
Please find enclosed the instructions in English, French, Spanish.
Best regards,

Betreff: Your participation to the 5th International Symposium on the Genetics of Tree-Parasite Interactions
Dear Colleague,
We are pleased to announce that the call for abstracts for the 5th International Symposium on the Genetics of Tree-Parasite Interactions to be held in Orleans, France (only 1h South of Paris) from 23 to 28 August 2015 is now open !
***** This Symposium is not restricted to forest trees. People working on ornamental and fruit trees are most welcome !! *****
For those who experienced the previous editions of this Symposium, you know that they are always very interesting, very rich, not only because of the diversity of the attendees (phytopathologists, breeders, entomologists, physiologists, evolutionary biologists ...) but also because they are always organized in a way that most of the attendees have an oportunity to present their work and in a format that fosters discussions.
Also, compared to many other meetings, the registration fees are not so high. It is 600 € for early bird registration (1 April) and only 500 € for graduate students. These fees include all the meals (lunches + diners) + field tour and conference diner.
Last but not least, some of you are project leaders, group coordinators or in the process of building a project, and we have negociated some extra free meeting rooms where you will be able to gather your troops, so think seriously about this opportunity.
Now is time to think seriously about participating to this event ! There is a brand new website waiting for you with lots of information to help you organize your trip and your presentation :
https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015
Although registrations to the meeting will open 2nd of February, <https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015/Abstract-submission> online abstract registration is now open !
Please circulate this information around you and think about other colleagues or students in your lab who may be interested (think also that France still is a good place for summer holidays, either before or after the meeting !!).
<https://colloque.inra.fr/tree-parasite-interactions2015>
We look forward to seeing you in Orleans !
