Betreff: I: 2nd announcement VII LUH ISHS - abstract submission postponed
Dear Colleagues,
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the VIII International Conference on Landscape and Urban Horticulture - The role of science in reconciling ecology and technology in Landscape and Urban Horticulture in Catania on 14-17 December 2021. Due to pandemic, the symposium has been postponed and currently, will be held in hybrid modality: virtual and in presence, the definitive decision about the modality will be taken on 15th of July.
We postponed the deadline of the early bird registration https://www.luh2021.it/registration/ and the abstract submission http://www.actahort.org/members/symposiar?nr=705 to the 30rd of June.
We warmly invite to submit one or two abstract as two publishable works on Acta Horticulturae are admitted.
The conference venue is the fabulous Palazzo Biscari in the heart of the city of Catania in the splendid Sicilian region (Italy). Catania is the second Sicily's city, rich of historical monuments, near to Taormina, one of the most beautiful and magic places in the world, which boasts a rich artistic, historical and cultural heritage that with the healthy climate and beautiful natural scenery, attracting visitors since the middle of the eighteenth century. A technical visit is planned to Radicepura and Vivai Faro, a botanical park where a garden festival is held every year specialized in Mediterranean plants. The social dinner will give the opportunity of tasting the local food delicatessen.
The conference web site https://www.luh2021.it/ is regularly updated with the information.
Please forward this announcement to all your contact possibly interested.
We look forward for meeting you in Catania or on line at the conference.

Betreff: Webinar
Dear Colleagues and IUFRO members, how do you do.
Just to announce a webinar that will open in the afternoons of June 24th and 25th.
In 5 minutes, each of the 19 speakers will communicate 2-3 key points to consider by answering the following questions:
June 24th (14.30 -17.00, Rome-Paris): Is there a wise way to use the soil?
June 25th (14.00-15.00): Is soil biodiversity really that important?
(14.00-15.00): Are there practical research outcomes that should be considered for facing the future?
During a Zoom Meeting: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/5745799331
Speakers and program:

Dear colleagues,
I would like to invite you to our online symposium "Gaurishankar Conservation Area Revisited: Status of Current Research activities" as follows:
DATE: Friday, May 7, 09:15 AM CEST, 01:00 PM (NPT)
PROGRAM: see attached PDF, alternatively: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/kioes/aktivitaeten/detail/forschung-fuer-die-gaurish…
ACCESS LINK: https://oeaw-ac-at.zoom.us/j/93417077969
NO registration required, symposium language: Englisch
Background:
Research activities in Gaurishankar Conservation Area (GCA) were initiated in 2015, with a kick-off meeting in Kathmandu on 22nd of April titled "Research Methodology for Integrated Forest Management in Gaurishankar Conservation Area, Central Nepal Himalayas". The subsequent ill-fated fieldwork campaign did not result in expected outcomes as it was suddenly interrupted by a massive (7.8Mw) earthquake, known as the Gorkha earthquake, which took place on 25th of April, 2015. The project team soon realized that pursuing the initial aims was impossible and hence a follow-up project was initiated in 2016, within the carbon offset project framework of BOKU University. The aim of the ongoing long-term carbon offset project is to provide scientific evidence for decisions that help to improve livelihoods, to increase resilience and to help overcoming negative consequences of the 2015 earthquake event, all embedded in an accountable carbon sequestration framework. For instance, a nursery was set up to enhance afforestation with the aims of increasing carbon, reduce erosion and for local production of construction and firewood.
The symposium presents the status of scientific research in GCA, both within and beyond the BOKU carbon offset project. It provides a platform to share current research of various disciplines, strengthens existing collaborations and establishing new links. The summary and discussion session aims at providing input fur future activities at GCA. Colleagues and friends from IUFRO are very welcome to attend and share their ideas, suggestions and perhaps identify potential collaboration.
Looking forward to welcome you at this virtual event!

Dear colleagues,
I would like to forward a message regarding our recent paper on a global review of forest biomass harvesting guidelines. On behalf of all authors, I wish you a stimulating read!
With best wishes,
Viktor Bruckman
Good day,
A recently published, open-access review paper led by Dr. Brian Titus, research scientist from the Pacific Forestry Centre in Victoria, British Columbia, might be of interest to you:
Titus, B.D., Brown, K., Helmisaari, H-S., Vanguelova, E., Stupak, I., Evans, A., Clarke, N., Guidi, C., Bruckman, V. J., Varnagiryte-Kabasinskiene, I., Kęstutis Armolaitis, K., de Vries, W., Hirai, K., Kaarakka, L., Hogg, K., and Reece, P. 2021. Sustainable forest biomass: a review of current residue harvesting guidelines. Energy, Sustainability and Society 11:10, published on April 14, 2021.
Available at https://energsustainsoc.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13705-021-00281… and DOI: 10.1186/s13705-021-00281-w
This topical review of forest biomass harvesting guidelines was completed by 16 authors from 11 countries, covering 43 jurisdictions in North America, Europe and Southeast Asia. Uniquely, the international team included information from guidelines from France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania and Japan that are not available in English - and hence may be of particular interest. (The review is an outcome of an OECD-sponsored workshop and thus relevant forest management manuals were reviewed in several cases where workshop participants were from jurisdictions that do not yet have specific forest biomass harvesting guidelines.) Below my signature is a list of authors and affiliations.
Of particular interest to some readers will be access to the raw data (i.e., consisting of direct quotations from original documents), included within a spreadsheet. This allows readers to explore the raw data and generate their own conclusions, or search for information relevant to their own interests, be this scientific research, policy-oriented questions, guideline development, forest management ideas, or any other topics of relevance to them. It is an aspiration of the authors that the spreadsheet of data be a publicly available "living" or "evergreen" document (courtesy of the Forest Stewards Guild) that can be updated or corrected as new guidelines are published - directions for contacting the Guild are in the spreadsheet. If you have general queries, please contact me and I will forward your message to Dr. Titus; if you notice errors or omissions in the raw data in the spreadsheet, or if you are aware of specific forest biomass guidelines that have inadvertently been overlooked, please contact Zander Evans or Inge Stupak - their contact information is in the main spreadsheet.
The review also contains a second spreadsheet with recommendations from past guideline reviews - to "give credit where credit is due", give readers direct access to exactly what past reviewers said, and to show how past recommendations were summarized by authors. As with raw guideline data, it is the hope of the authors that especially agencies developing their own guidelines will find this format helpful to their work.
A "blog" on this review for readers of the range of BMC (Biomed Central) journals may be of interest to you, or useful for sharing information about this paper with a general audience. "Helping ensure that forest bioenergy is environmentally sustainable" can be found at
http://blogs.biomedcentral.com/on-physicalsciences/2021/04/15/forest-bioene…
Finally, please note that this review paper is part of a special issue of ESSO on Governing sustainability of bioenergy, biomaterial and bioproduct supply chains from forest and agricultural landscapes, edited by Inge Stupak, Tat Smith and Nicholas Clarke. This issue may contain related articles of interest to you regarding sustainability and governance mechanisms for forest bioenergy. The open-access issue is available at https://www.biomedcentral.com/collections/sbbb
I hope you enjoy this comprehensive and timely review, and find it adds value to your work. I look forward to receiving your feedback.
