Dear friends,
IUFRO’s Unit Boreal Forest Ecosystems and the multidisciplinary project Future Forests, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, are jointly arranging a travelling workshop in northern Sweden, August 12 - 19, 2012.
A challenging future for the Boreal forests – Can all demands be met?
The workshop will focus on how the management of boreal forests is called upon to meet increasingly conflicting goals as society demands ever-greater standards of sustainability and ecological integrity while its dependence on forest resources and services is rising to levels never seen in humanity’s history.
The workshop will mainly consist of excursions that will take us from the coastal area of the Västerbotten County up to the high mountains close to the Norwegian border. Along the way we will see and discuss examples of old, current, and experimental silvicultural practices, long-term manipulation experiments, genetic and species trials, nature reserves, and virgin forests. There will also be a limited number of invited and volunteer lectures as well as one poster session. The volunteer lectures will be chosen from the submitted abstracts. Abstracts should be submitted no later than15th of July.
For logistic reasons the number of participants has to be limited to 36. The deadline for registration is the 15th of July, but if the maximum number of participants is reached before that date the registration will close. “First at the mill grinds first”!

Betreff: [iufro8-l] ecosystem research at "Landscape Ecology"
Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the journal of Landscape Ecology, the Editor-in-Chief (Dr.
Jingle Wu) asked me to share the interest of the journal for publishing more
papers that involve in ecosystem processes (fluxes of carbon, nutrient,
water, energy) in context of broadly-defined landscapes. The journal
focuses on highly inter- and transdisciplinary studies, aggregating
expertise from biological, geophysical, and social sciences to explore the
formation, dynamics and consequences of spatial heterogeneity in natural and
human-dominated landscapes. Much work of the FLUXNET members fits well with
this movement of the journal. We strongly encourage you submit your quality
research to the journal, and/or organize a special issues. For more
information on the journal, please visit its webpage at:

Dear IUFRO members,
The Final Conference of PARAmount a project funded by the Alpine Space
Programme of the European Union will be held on 23rd April 2012 at
Grenoble in parallel with the 12th Congress of INTERPRAEVENT (Grenoble, 23
26 April 2012).
The Final Conference is designed to bring together experts, researchers,
policy and decision makers, practitioners from various disciplines as well
as concerned stakeholders for an interdisciplinary, transnational exchange
of views on the further development of strategies and technologies for the
management of natural hazards threatening transport infrastructure and to
present the results of the project concerning the
Assessment of the vulnerability of transport infrastructure to natural
hazards
Improvement of the efficiency of measures necessary to protect transport
infrastructure against natural hazards and to increase its reliability and
security
Advancement of Decision analysis and support systems for an effective
management of transport infrastructure threatened by natural risks
Development of new concepts and approaches for assessing and monitoring
natural risks.
The objective of the concluding round table discussion will be to elaborate
recommendations for overcoming the identified barriers that might impede the
adoption of the developed approaches and concepts as well as to ensure a
successful knowledge transfer.

Dear Colleagues!
We invite you to take part in the International Conference RR 2012:
"Renewable Forest Resources: innovative development in forestry" that
belongs to a conference series on Renewable Resources.
Forestry is constantly adapting to new needs of the changing world. The
range of demands put on forest sector by society has considerably increased
in recent years. These changes require innovative developments not only in
the field of technologies and business, but also on policy and management
level, that will create the environment where innovations can take place.
The aim of the conference is the discussion of various aspects of use of
forest resources and the presentation of Russian and foreign experience in
the introduction of innovative methods of forest management, reforestation
and forest use. Representatives of authorities, scientific-educational and
business community of Russia and other countries are invited to participate
in the plenary session and round tables.
More detailed information can be find at : http://onlinereg.ru/RR2012/
Yours
Maxim
