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 ( <https://forms.gle/RT8ThFnC43P2o8Jt8>
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.

Dear all,
The International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative of the IUFRO
task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree mortality,
continues the online seminar series join on *June 22, 5 pm CEST*, with:
*Dr. Craig D. Allen*
*Title: The global emergence of hotter-drought drivers of forest
disturbance tipping points*
_Abstract:_ Current research is presented on global-scale patterns and
trends of forest responses to increasingly hotter droughts, particularly
extensive tree mortality and forest die-offs involving a range of
interactive disturbances (e.g., water stress, insect outbreaks,
high-severity wildfire). Diverse cross-scale observations and empirical
findings increasingly indicate that amelioration of hotter-drought
stress via fertilization of photosynthesis from elevated atmospheric CO2
concentrations may soon be overwhelmed by heat and accelerated
atmospheric drought. These findings highlight some current challenges in
realistically projecting the future of global forest ecosystems (and
their associated carbon pools and fluxes) with process-based Earth
system models. In particular there is substantial evidence that forests
dominated by larger, older trees may be disproportionately vulnerable to
increased growth stress and mortality under hotter-drought conditions.
The fates of these old trees in response to global change are of vital
importance, given that they are essential as: a) disproportionately
large carbon sinks; b) among the most biodiverse and rare terrestrial
ecosystems; c) irreplaceable archives of environmental history; and d)
venerated for many cultural reasons. Key scientific uncertainties that
impede modeling progress are outlined, and examples of promising
empirical modeling approaches are illustrated.
_Bio:_ Craig D. Allen is an adjunct professor in the Department of
Geography & Environmental Studies at the University of New Mexico. He
recently retired as a research ecologist and founding leader of the New
Mexico Landscapes Field Station for the U.S. Geological Survey, based at
Bandelier National Monument in the Jemez Mountains of northern New
Mexico, where he has conducted ecological research since 1981. Craig
conducts place-based, long-term research on the ecology and
environmental history of southwestern US landscapes, and the responses
of western US mountain ecosystems and forests globally to climate
change, with many international collaborations. Since 1986 his office
has been co-located with land managers at Bandelier National Monument
where he continues to collaboratively volunteer, reflecting his
commitment to provide scientific and technical support to diverse land
management agencies, Native American tribes, and governmental and
non-governmental organizations. Craig received B.S. and M.S. degrees in
Geography from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a Ph.D. in
Wildland Resource Science (forest & landscape ecology, conservation
biology) from the University of California-Berkeley. He is an elected
fellow of the Ecological Society of America (ESA) and the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

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.

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!
