Invitation to join the email list for IUFRO 4.02.01 Resource Data in the Tropics

by Brigitte Burger

Dear all: We have formed a new coordination team for the IUFRO Working Party 4.02.01 on Resource Data in the Tropics. The focus of the Working Party will be on legacy tropical forest data sets: finding them, getting them and their metadata archived in an up-to-date digital format, and getting these data available for use, with appropriate protocols and credit to the sources of the data. We invite you to join our email list at <https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/> https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/ , where we discuss issues related to these datasets.

by eckehard.brockerhoff＠wsl.ch

Dear colleagues, You are all invited to participate in a survey assessing attitudes towards women in forest entomology and pathology coordinated by Drs. Jess Hartshorn (Clemson University, USA), Maartje Klapwijk (SLU, Sweden), Mariella Marzano (Forest Research, UK), and Eckehard Brockerhoff (WSL, Switzerland). The purpose of this survey is to assess current attitudes towards women in forest entomology and pathology and to identify gaps in support available to women in these fields. The entire survey should take around 15 minutes and you may stop at any time. To access the survey, follow this link: https://clemson.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eanxr0fRAOFVMBT Results from this survey are expected to help institutions and scientific societies identify areas of improvement to support women in these fields. If you have any questions or concerns about this survey please contact Dr. Jess Hartshorn at jhartsh(a)clemson.edu. Thank you, JESS HARTSHORN, PhD CLEMSON UNIVERSITY Assistant Professor of Forest Health, she/her Forestry and Environmental Conservation Clemson University Lehotsky 272F Clemson, SC 29634 Skype: jessica.hartshorn cuforesthealth.weebly.com **2021 North American Forest Insect Work Conference**

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.
