Future Activities of IUFRO Research Group 1.05.00 Uneven-aged Silviculture

by burger

---------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht ---------- From: "Kerr, Gary" <gary.kerr(a)forestry.gsi.gov.uk> To: rg10500(a)lists.iufro.org Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 16:42:17 +0100 Subject: Future Activities of IUFRO Research Group 1.05.00 Uneven-aged Silviculture Dear IUFRO colleagues, I am honoured to be sending this e-mail to you as the new co-ordinator of this well established and dynamic IUFRO Research Group. I am writing to bring you all up-to-date with our present activities and make sure that you have as much notice as possible about future meetings. However, my first task must be to thank Professor Kevin O'Hara for leading the group with great distinction for ten years up to 2010. Kevin welcomed me into the group when I attended my first meeting in Zurich in 2001 and I know that he is respected and liked by the whole of the Research Group. Fortunately, Kevin has agreed to maintain his interest in the Group and I will be working closely with him in the future. I would also like to introduce the two new deputy co-ordinators of the Research Group. Firstly, many of you will know Professor Hiromi Mizunga, who works at the Institute of Silviculture, Shizouka University, Japan. Hiromi did an excellent job organizing the 6th Workshop at Shizouka in 2008. The other deputy is Professor Eric Zenner who is a silviculturist and works at PennState University, Pennsylvania, USA and (I think) has been to all the meetings of the Group that I have attended and maybe more! Our last meeting was in September 2010 and was hosted by Professor Jurij Diaci in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Jurij is currently working hard on the Proceedings of the meeting, which will be published in 'Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research' (http://forestry. <http://forestry.oxfordjournals.org/> oxfordjournals.org/) in late 2011 or early 2012. The response to the call for papers was excellent and 23 people submitted extended abstracts for consideration. Looking ahead, I am pleased to be able to tell you that planning is now under way for our next meeting in November 2012. This will be hosted by Lincoln University, Christchurch, New Zealand. I am really grateful to Dr. Glenn Stewart who will be co-ordinating the meeting and giving the Group its first opportunity to consider uneven-aged silviculture in the southern hemisphere. The provisional title of the conference is "Uneven-aged silviculture: optimizing timber production, ecosystem services and resilience to climate change". Further details, including dates, will be available shortly. We have also been scoping future meetings with the intention of maintaining a good geographical spread and holding one meeting every two years. One area where Hiromi, Eric, Kevin and I are aiming to make progress is in linking with people working in tropical forests. If you are able to help or have any contacts on this please let one of us know. My last point is to ask if any members of the Research Group would be interested working on projects between our main meetings. It occurs to me that as a group of international scientists working on a subject we all really believe in, we should be trying to make more impact on the debate about the methods used to manage forests globally. If you would be interested in pursuing this further please contact me directly (gary.kerr(a)forestry.gsi.gov.uk) before the end of June 2011. I would also advise you to keep up-to-date with activities within IUFRO. A new strategy has been published for the period 2010-2014 and a new Executive Director has been appointed. More details about this and the activities of other Groups within IUFRO can be found on the website. I am looking forward to working with you and hopefully meeting at future events.

Uneven-aged Silviculture update

by Kevin L. O'Hara

Dear IUFRO 1.05 Uneven-aged Silviculture Research Group Members: Several important updates for you: The recent conference in Slovenia was a big success. The conference took place in Ljubljana and included more than 90 participants from 28 countries. It was an excellent meeting with wonderful weather, great presentations, and was extremely well-organized. Congratulations to Jurij Diaci and the rest of the organizing committee for their efforts to make this conference so successful. The post-conference tour viewed many uneven-aged forests in Slovenia and Croatia and was also a delightful experience. Congratulations to Andrej Boncina for his work leading this excellent tour. More information on the meeting is available at: http://web.bf.uni-lj.si/go/uafm2010/index.html Selected papers from the meeting will be published in a special issue of the international journal Forestry that is due out in 2011. This is my last email to you as the coordinator of the Uneven-aged Silviculture Research Group. I'm sure I can speak for the deputy coordinators, Hubert Hasenhauer, Susan Hummel and Shi Zuomin, that we have enjoyed working with you and leading this group the past 10 years. Beginning in January 2011, the group's new officers will be Gary Kerr, Hiromi Mizunaga, and Eric Zenner. Their contact information is below. I am confident that with their enthusiasm this research group will continue to be among the most active in all of IUFRO. But the success of any IUFRO Research Group is dependent on the work of volunteers to host and organize meetings and to the participants who make it all worthwhile. Thanks to all of you for making this Research Group so successful. Kevin O'Hara Your new officers for 2011-2014 will be: Dr. Gary Kerr,Coordinator Forestry Commission Alice Hold Lodge Farnham, Surrey UK, GU10 4LH gary.kerr(a)forestry.gsi.gov.uk Dr. Hiromi Mizunaga, Deputy Coordinator Shizuoka University Ohya 836 Suruga0ki Shizuoka-shi Japan 422-0502 mizunaga(a)agr.shizuoka.ac.jp Dr. Eric Zenner, Deputy Coordinator School of Forest Resources 305 Forest Resources Building Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802 USA eric.zenner(a)psu.edu
