Dear IUFRO colleague,
The Science and the Art of Uneven-aged Silviculture
Little Rock, Arkansas, USA - 31 May-2 June 2016
CONFERENCE WEBSITE IS NOW LIVE
Further details about the meeting can be found here:
http://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/news/events/iufro-2016/
Registration will be available soon.
CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS
The Workshop invites oral presentations and poster presentations on the
science, history, and practice of uneven-aged silviculture. Topics can
emphasize the science underlying uneven-aged silviculture, or can
explore the artistic elements of uneven-aged silvicultural practice
(however the authors may choose to interpret that). Presentations and
posters that attempt to bridge the science and the art of uneven-aged
silviculture are especially encouraged.
If you are interested in making a presentation or introducing a poster
please send the following information to gary.kerr(a)forestry.gsi.gov.uk
by Friday 29 January 2016. The submission will then be evaluated by the
scientific committee and authors will be informed of the decision by
Friday 26 February 2016. All submissions should be sent as .doc or .txt
files using the following format.

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
