BioVeL is an EU research project that provides automated tools for data
processing in major areas of biodiversity and ecosystem research, such
as ecological niche modelling, ecosystem functioning, and taxonomy.
In a technology showcase on Friday, October 10th, 12:00-13:00 in Room
150C of the Salt Lake Convention Center, BioVeL will show its work in
forest science. Four presentations will be made, covering 1) the main
ideas of using workflows and web services in a virtual e-laboratory; 2)
ecological niche modelling of the change of distribution and damage risk
by the most important forest insect pests in Europe; 3) carbon modelling
with Biome-BGC model to quantify and derive important ecosystem service
indicator measures; and 4) open access to biodiversity and ecosystem
data through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility.

Welcome, and best regards from,

Dear colleagues,
Registration is open for the FAO-run online conference ‘The Economics of Climate Change Mitigation Options in the Forestry Sector’, which will take place as six sessions during 6-27 February 2015. A hundred free places are available in each online session. Forestry policy makers, forest economists, scientists and researchers from all over the world are expected to join this conference to discuss the costs and benefits of different mitigation options. The conference will examine how different countries and regions mitigate climate change through forest management interventions and improved use of wood. Discussions will also showcase lessons learned from mitigation efforts and their impacts on the value chain of forest products.
The deadline for case study submission is 10 November 2014 and for registration is 16 January 2015. For more information and registration, please visit the conference web page

Dear all,
Before some of you leave for a summer break or others for some serious field work (sorry for the ones in the SOUTH but you already had your summer…), I have the great pleasure to announce our next conference from our IUFRO Forest Landscape Ecology WP. The topic of our 2015 conference is “Sustaining Ecosystem Services in Forest Landscapes”. Please find the call for Symposiums proposals attached and visit the web site for more details http://iufrole2015.to.ee/
I would appreciate if you can spread the information among your networks. The Scientific Committee will be looking forward for your ideas and inputs putting together great symposium proposals and inviting your colleagues.

Betreff: [iufro8-l] TR: Global Change Research Symposium 2014 (Sept. 16-18, 2014)
Dear Colleagues,
The Global Change Research Symposium 2014 (Sept. 16-18, 2014) promises unrivalled learning and networking opportunities for those involved in global change issues. The keynote and invited speakers are experts from multiple sectors and disciplines related to ecosystem services and global monitoring across regions and scales (see: http://www.global2014.it/keynote-speakers/)
This event is organized in partnership with Michigan State University (USA), Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (China) and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO).
Official approval has been granted by the journal Environmental Research (Elsevier) to publish a Special Issue on the topic: The Provision of Ecosystem Services in Response to Global Change. Therefore, a call for papers will be launched during the Symposium.
Two unique field trips have been planned during the meeting in order to discover the flavors of our Mediterranean region, e.g. historical sites, excellent cuisine, sea-side panoramas and walks, etc.
To read more about this event, visit http://www.global2014.it/. Registration is still open!
