Dear all:
Submissions are invited for a special issue of the International Journal of Biodiversity Science, Ecosystem Services & Management, entitled Synergies between biodiversity and management for high-value timber species. This issue is based on a technical session at IUFRO 2014, but the issue is open to authors who did not participate in the session. The deadline has been extended to April 15, 2015.
This Special Issue examines the scientific basis for managing to create a positive synergy between biodiversity and high-value timber species. Management to conserve biodiversity and management for the production of high-value timber species can be in conflict with each other. The increasing need to conserve biodiversity and the ongoing demand for high-value timbers prompt the goal to integrate these management objectives.
Therefore papers are requested for a Special Issue that explores positive interactions between biodiversity and high-value timbers. This Special Issue aims for a global scope, including tropical and temperate high-value timbers. Possible topics include:
* How biodiversity can protect high-value species from pests and pathogens
· How biodiversity, as an indicator of more intact ecosystems, can sustain production of high-value species
· How high-value species in restoration and plantations can reestablish or conserve biodiversity
· How high-value species in enrichment plantings or natural forest can help maintain intact forests and their biodiversity
· How high-value species themselves are examples of biodiversity in need of conservation

Betreff: [IUFRO Div 7] IUFRO 2014 tech session 219: How does biodiversity help to manage high-value timbers and vice versa?
Dear Colleagues:
Please consider submitting an abstract for an oral or poster presentation for the IUFRO 2014 World Congress Session #219 – How does biodiversity help to manage high-value timbers and vice versa?
Organizers: Sheila Ward (Mahogany for the Future, Inc, Puerto Rico), Emmanuel Opuni-Frimpong (Forest Research Institute of Ghana), & Nicholas Brokaw (University of Puerto Rico)

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.
Conservation of biodiversity and management for high-value timber species can seem a contradiction. Nevertheless, the demand for these timbers will remain high, as well as an increasing need and demand for management to conserve biodiversity. Needed are ways forward to integrate these management objectives. Management of high-value timber species may help conserve both the target species and the biodiversity of the forests they inhabit. Conversely, biodiversity may contribute to the health of individual trees and populations of high-value species.
We aim for a global scope, including tropical and temperate high-value timbers. Presentations might address: biodiversity and protection of high-value species from pests and pathogens, the role of plantations in biodiversity conservation, biodiversity for plantation health, enrichment planting with high value species to maintain biodiversity via intact forest instead of land use change, high-value species and the maintenance of intact forests, use of high value species for habitat rehabilitation and restoration of biodiversity, or high-value plantations as a means to reestablish biodiversity, among other topics. How might more land area devoted to high-value timber in natural forest as well as plantations may help maintain biodiversity and associated ecosystem services? Conversely, how might more intact ecosystems, as indicated by biodiversity, may help in the sustainable production of high-value species?
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
