IUFRO 2014 Technical session 219 on biodiversity and high-value timber species

by Sheila Ward

Please consider submitting an abstract for an oral or poster presentation for IUFRO 2014 session #219 – How does biodiversity help to manage high-value timbers and vice versa? *This session will explore diverse means by which a biodiverse environment positively impacts management of high-value timber species, and, conversely, how management for high-value species helps conserve biodiversity.* If this is of interest, can you let me know by October 3? Guidelines and the page for abstract submission can be found at http://iufro2014.com/scientific-program/abstract-submissions/. Thanks, Sheila Ward

Fwd: Possible technical session for IUFRO 2014

by Sheila Ward

Dear tropical forest researchers: Do you have studies showing how biodiversity helps to manage high-value species (such as the Meliaceae) or how high value timbers help to conserve biodiversity? Below is an idea for a technical session for the IUFRO 2014 World Congress relating high value tropical timbers and biodiversity Any suggestions would be most welcome, including reorientation of this potential session. If you would like to participate in the session, could you please send me a draft title for your contribution? Please also send this on to anyone else who might be interested. Please send any ideas by April 17, since session proposals are due April 30. ********************************** *How does biodiversity help to manage high-value timber species, and vice-versa?* *Valuable tropical timbers, such as many Meliaceae, remain in high demand, casting a shadow over prospects for these species and their forests. However, management of high-value tropical timber species may help conserve the biodiversity of the forests they inhabit. Conversely, biodiversity may contribute to the health of individual trees and populations of these species. This session seeks to explore positive, reciprocal relationships between biodiversity and high-value timber species (including in plantations).* ************************************ Thanks! Sheila Ward Deputy Coordinator Working party 1.02.04 – Sustainable management and genetic resources in Meliaceae

1st Announcement - Sustaining the Future of Acacia Plantation Forestry, Vietnam, March 2014

by Jane Harbard

With apologies to all those who have already received this announcement........ "Sustaining the Future of Acacia Plantation Forestry" 18-21 March 2014, Hue, Vietnam This is a joint conference of the recently formed IUFRO Working Party WP 2.08.07 on Acacia Genetics and Silviculture, WP1.02.06 on Ecology and Silviculture of Acacia and WP 2.04.01 on Population, Ecological and Conservation Genetics and will be hosted by the Vietnamese Academy of Forest Sciences (VAFS). The conference will include invited and contributed presentations and posters, discussion sessions, satellite and business meetings, and in-conference and post-conference tours. This 4 days' conference with the theme, "Sustaining the Future of Acacia Plantation Forestry" will be structured so as to promote discussion between geneticists, breeders and scientists concerned with management regime development and interactions of the crop with its biotic and abiotic environment. This broad ranging review should provide scientific support to those responsible for developing and implementing forest plantation management policies. While our primary interest is in tropical acacias we recognize that there is a much more established tradition of planting temperate species such as A. mearnsii, and we will welcome contributions from scientists working on those crops. To be included in the mailing list for updates on the conference, please contact: Ms Jane Harbard School of Plant Science University of Tasmania Private Bag 55 Hobart 7001 Tasmania, Australia Email: J.L.Harbard(a)utas.edu.au<mailto:J.L.Harbard@utas.edu.au> For more information please follow the link: http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20800/20807/ And please accept my apologies for duplicate emails on the occasion of this 1st Announcement.

by burger

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. At the conference website http://www.paramount-project.eu/index.php?option=com_content <http://www.paramount-project.eu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&i d=40&Itemid=45&6c31091fa105024792e742d3d29e1931=b46a42ace97b791bf5be92eabeab 4fbe> &view=article&id=40&Itemid=45&6c31091fa105024792e742d3d29e1931=b46a42ace97b7 91bf5be92eabeab4fbe, you will find the Second Announcement for the Final Conference of the PARAmount project including the detailed program.
