Dear all,
The COST Action Bottoms-Up organizes its first Training School on
“Assessing Multi-Taxon Diversity in Forest Ecosystems”, which will be held
in Arezzo (Italy) on September, 28-30, 2021.
The aim of the training is to give a comprehensive overview of multi-taxon
biodiversity data issues in forest ecosystems with an emphasis on bridging
the gap between theory and practice.
The training is opened to young researchers (from PhD students to post-docs
with up to 8 years of experience after their PhD) to express their interest
to participate as trainees.
Details are available here in the official Cost page:
https://www.bottoms-up.eu/en/networking-tools/training-schools.html
The Training is posted in the IUFRO Calendar of Events,
https://www.iufro.org/events/calendar/, and in the activities page of the
Unit,
https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-8/80000/80200/80201/activi…
.
Please read and share the Training school annuncement with your colleagues
and research network.
Sincerely,

Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the international conference entitled “Air Pollution threats to Plant Ecosystems” will be held in Paphos (Cyprus) on 11-15 October 2021.
This international event is co-organized by the Committee on Air Pollution Effects Research on Mediterranean Ecosystems (CAPERmed), the International Union of Forest Research Organization (IUFRO) and the International Cooperative Programme on Effects of Air Pollution on Natural Vegetation and Crops (ICP Vegetation). The conference, for the first time combining three events, will serve as an excellent example of effective international collaboration in the research of air pollution and plant ecosystems. Do not miss this cornerstone of international science.
The CAPERmed IV meeting will be held on, back-to-back with the 3rd International Conference on "Ozone and Plant Ecosystems" and the 30th international biennial conference of the IUFRO Research Group on "Air pollution and climate change" on 11-14 October 2021. A full-day excursion is planned on 15th October 2021.
All useful information are available online: https://cyprus2021.com<https://antiphishing.acri-cwa.fr/proxy/v3?i=SGI0YVJGNmxZNE90Z2thMFYLWSxJOfI…>

COVID-19 pandemic in Cyprus
All needed sanitary directives will be implemented on site.
Due to exceptional conditions, up-do-date information will be regularly released by emails.
Epidemiological risk assessment and information concerning flights from/to the Republic of Cyprus can be found https://www.pio.gov.cy/coronavirus/eng<https://antiphishing.acri-cwa.fr/proxy/v3?i=SGI0YVJGNmxZNE90Z2thMFYLWSxJOfI…>

Betreff: [IUFRO RG 8.02.00] Internet consultation to gather information for IUFRO Unit 8.02.01 (Key factors, indicators and monitoring of forest biodiversity)
Dear Colleagues,
The IUFRO Unit 8.02.01 is sharing a form for collecting information from researchers interested in following/sharing topics and issues related to "Key factors for forest biodiversity". The Unit activities focus on 3 main subsequent thematic areas :
- Key Ecological Factors for Forest Biodiversity
- Forest Diversity Monitoring at Different Spatial Scales
- Forest Biodiversity Indicators
By compiling the short form at https://forms.gle/RT8ThFnC43P2o8Jt8, the Unit intention is to create an international research network on multi-taxon forest biodiversity monitoring and indicators and promote the widest knowledge sharing on forest biodiversity.
More information is available at: https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-8/80000/80200/80201/
