Dear friends and colleagues,
We are pleased to share the following early announcement of an upcoming IUFRO Division 7 (Forest Health) conference in Istanbul in 2016 with you.
** UPDATE: We have brought the date forward to April to avoid another planned conference. **
Please note the date and the opportunity to submit session proposals.
IUFRO All-Division 7 Conference
Global change and forest health - climate change, biological invasions, air pollution, forest pathology, forest entomology, and their interactions
** 25-29 April 2016 ** (please note the date change)
