International Tree Mortality Network - Newsletter

by Brigitte Burger

Von: Tree Mortality Network [mailto:treemortnet@gmail.com] Gesendet: Samstag, 20. Juni 2020 11:18 Betreff: International Tree Mortality Network - Newsletter <https://x6hr8.mjt.lu/tplimg/x6hr8/b/xr3nr/gl64w.png> <https://x6hr8.mjt.lu/tplimg/x6hr8/b/xr3nr/gl6m4.png> NEWSLETTER Dear members, The International Tree Mortality Network is now up and running! We will organize different activities during the upcoming months and years and will use our <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> webpage and regular distribution of newsletters to keep you informed and to get you involved. Despite the fact that the current health situation has jeopardized our first scientific activity, a workshop on harmonizing data on forest condition that was scheduled for late March but was cancelled, we have succeeded in taking up additional momentum. Please read on, this is the start of a global initiative that will propel science, forest management and policy making! Data surveys of global forest condition We recently have launched two surveys on data availability of global forest condition. The surveys seeks to assemble metadata on existing field assessments (i) to develop methods for quantification of tree mortality rates consistently across different protocols, and (ii) to link ground and satellite-based information to understand how tree mortality changes over time. We have already received XX responses from contributors around the globe. Please press the buttons to fill out the surveys. <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> Remote Sensing Survey <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> Terrestrials Data Survey <https://x6hr8.mjt.lu/tplimg/x6hr8/b/xr37r/gl6tl.png> Participants of the surveys and other experts will be given the opportunity to contribute to topical online working groups. Invitations will be sent out this summer. We'll keep you updated. Tree mortality event image gallery <https://x6hr8.mjt.lu/tplimg/x6hr8/b/xr37r/glii1.jpeg> To increase awareness about climate change-induced tree mortality as a global phenomenon, we want to host images on mortality events on our <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> webpages. To do so, we seek your support, please send us images of mortality events (large group of trees, forest stands,...) to <mailto:treemortnet@gmail.com> treemortnet(a)gmail.com, and add a short description about the main species affected, the region and country, the cause (e.g., bark beetle) and year of mortality (if known), and the name of the copyright holder (for example, Spruce_Thuringia_Germany_bark beetles_2019_Hartmann.jpg). <mailto:treemortnet@gmail.com?subject=tree-mortality-pictures> contact Global database and interactive map of tree mortality events We have posted a tree mortality event map on our <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> webpage. For the time being, the map is a geo-referenced version of the "Allen mortality map" (Allen et al. 2010, Hartmann et al. 2018) and is currently populated by Bill Hammond as part of his PhD dissertation. Once published, we will post on our <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> webpage not only the interactive map that provides geo-referenced information on tree mortality events documented in peer reviewed publications over the last ~50 years, but we will also add a functionality allowing the signalling of new mortality events via an online entry tool. <http://x6hr8.mjt.lu/lnk/AUgAAARkFs8AAchR_j4AALV5HxgAAYCsMcgAnDSWABQMVQBe7dR…> Fig.: Global map of documented tree mortality events related to drought and hotter temperatures.

The map currently is being populated with ~1000 precisely georeferenced research plots that document these mortality events by William Hammond.

Post-doctoral position 'ecology of biological invasions' available at WSL, Switzerland

by eckehard.brockerhoff＠wsl.ch

Dear all, WSL (the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research) is advertising a post-doctoral position on the ecology of biological invasions, a collaborative project with eawag (the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology). The aim of the project is to compare invasions in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems primarily at large (national) spatial scales and among several higher-level taxa (insects, molluscs, crustaceans, all major vertebrate classes, and plants), test the biotic resistance hypothesis, and explore the role of factors that could influence invasiveness and invasibility. For further information see https://apply.refline.ch/273855/1053/pub/2/index.html or contact Ecki Brockerhoff, email: eckehard.brockerhoff(a)wsl.ch --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eckehard Brockerhoff, PhD Head of Research Unit 'Forest Health and Biotic Interactions' Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL www.wsl.ch/en/about-wsl/research-units/forest-health-and-biotic-interaction… Zürcherstrasse 111, CH-8903 Birmensdorf, Schweiz/Switzerland

Estimating the cost of invasive alien species to Africa

by Rene Eschen

Dear Colleague, The economic impact of IAS has been documented for relatively few species and countries in Africa. Consequently, there are major gaps in data for both the species for which estimates have been made, and countries in which no or few data have been collected. Filling these gaps is important, because this figure will be of use to policy makers to prioritise work to prevent, manage and control invasive species, and allow countries to mitigate the economic impact of IAS. CABI (www.cabi.org<http://www.cabi.org>) is currently undertaking a project to estimate the cost of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) to Africa. We are looking for costs incurred for single species or by a sector of the economy, such as agriculture, forestry, livestock keeping or aquaculture. As well as collating more obvious costs, such as those incurred through yield loss or the costs of management, we would also like to collate less obvious costs incurred, such as reduction in recreational revenue or a reduction in the number of animals that a piece of land can sustain. We hope that you are able to assist us with gathering information on the species of your expertise and would greatly appreciate your assistance with the survey. You can access and submit the survey using the following link: Link to Survey to estimate the cost of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) to Africa<https://innsafrica.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/estimating-the-cost-of-invasive-alie…> If you would like assistance to go through the survey, you can contact Adewale Ogunmodede A.Ogunmodede(a)cabi.org<mailto:A.Ogunmodede@cabi.org> to arrange a phone call or zoom meeting to introduce you to the survey and take you through the sections of relevance. The survey will close on 30 June. We look forward to hearing back from you. Your expert input into this survey is greatly valued. Regards, René Eschen.

by Andrew Liebhold

Dear colleagues, This note is just to share with you an update on the IUFRO conference, ““Biological invasions in forests: Trade, ecology and management”, 14-18 September, 2020, Prague, Czech Republic. We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and, in particular monitoring anticipated impacts on international travel. At this point, we still expect that travel to Prague will be permitted and safe by mid-September. However, we acknowledge considerable uncertainty and are prepared to postpone the conference if necessary. We plan to re-evaluate the situation in mid-May. Information about the conference is available at https://iufro.v2.czu.cz/en/ We are extending the deadline for early registration to 1 July and the date for final registration to 15 August. We will continue to review the situation and provide updated information at this web site. Please let me know if you have any questions. -Sandy Andrew Liebhold http://sandyliebhold.com Northern Research Station 304-285-1512 USDA Forest Service 304-285-1505 FAX 180 Canfield St. 724-317-8668 mobile Morgantown, WV 26505 USA
