Dear IUFRO 1.05 Uneven-aged Silviculture Research Group Members: The primary objective behind this email is to remind you that the deadline for abstract submission to our upcoming meeting in Shizuoka, Japan is 31 May 2008, or in just few weeks! The conference theme is Feasibility of Silviculture for Complex Stand Structures: Designing Stand Structures for Sustainability and Multiple Objectives. Early registration is through 31 July, 2008. Dr. Hiromi Mizunaga is leading the effort to host this meeting (contact email: mizunaga(a)agr.shizuoka.ac.jp) Both preconference and postconference tours are tentatively planned as well as an in-conference tour day. There will also be an opportunity to submit conference papers to the peer-reviewed "Journal of Forest Research". The timing of the meeting is intended to coincide with some of the best weather around Mt. Fuji. This will be our Research Group's first meeting outside Europe or North America.
