Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the next meeting of the IUFRO Working Party
7.03.10 Methodology of forest insect and disease survey in Central Europe,
titled "Recent Changes in Forest Insects and Pathogens Significance". This
event will take place during 16-20 September 2019, at the Forestry Faculty
of the University "Stefan cel Mare" of Suceava, Romania.
The conference will include both oral and poster presentations, addressing
key issues relating to:
1) Information platform on pests and diseases occurrence in Central Europe;
2) Non-native organisms - network for sharing information on distribution
and spreading;
3) Risk assessment of actual and introduced pests and diseases;
4) Diagnostic tools and evidence systems for forest pests and diseases;
5) The pest and disease controls in the certificated forests (FSC or PEFC).
Suceava is located in the North-Eastern part of Romania and is the main town
of the historical province Bucovina, famous for the medieval painted
monasteries, included on the list of the world patrimony UNESCO, as for its
beautiful nature.
The organizing committee is looking forward to meeting you (the interested
researches) in Suceava.
Please note the deadline for abstract submission on 1 April 2019. More
detailed information and instructions on how to submit abstracts are
available on the <http://silvic.usv.ro/iufroromania2019/> conference
website"

Dear All,
Julio, Beccy and I have put together the December 2018 newsletter and you can find it here: https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-7/70000/70200/publications/
The newsletter includes summaries of meetings of working parties 7.02.01 "Root and stem rots" and 7.02.13 "Forest health in southern hemisphere commercial plantations", information about the new coordinator and deputies for working party 7.02.03 "Vascular wilt diseases", upcoming meetings and information about abstract submission for the upcoming World Congress in Curitiba, Brazil.
World Congress abstract submission closes December 31, 2018. Division 7 has many interesting technical sessions in the programme and hopefully many of us will be able to attend!
Wishing you all the best for the upcoming Christmas holiday season.

Dear friends and colleagues,
In case you are not aware of it, the abstract submission deadline for the IUFRO Congress 2019 in Curitiba, Brazil (29 Sept. - 5 Oct. 2019) is the end of December (31 Dec. 2019). For details see http://iufro2019.com/abstracts-submission/
I believe all sessions of Research Group RG7.01 (Air pollution and climate change) are under Theme 2 / B7 (Forests and Climate Change),
and sessions of RGs7.02 (Pathology) and 7.03 (Entomology) are under Theme 4 / D7 (Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services and Biological Invasions).
Also, I'd like to wish you all happy holidays and all the best for the new year. I look forward to seeing you at the IUFRO Congress or one of the upcoming IUFRO Division 7 conferences.
Finally, I have some news to share:
After 21 years in New Zealand (and 20 of those with the New Zealand Forest Research Institute / 'Scion'), I will relocate to Switzerland at the beginning of February 2019 to take up a position with the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL, near Zurich.
I look forward to new collaboration opportunities with colleagues in Europe, but I will also continue working with colleagues in New Zealand and elsewhere.
Best wishes,
Ecki

Hello forpathers and forenters,
Below are a couple of pictures sent to me by a local arborist, wondering what’s going on on the main limbs of a white oak. I am contacting you because I find that this kind of very localized bark discoloration/staining is quite common in oaks. I’ve always suspected these were very small, localized infections by some species of Phytophthora, like citricola, citrophthora, etc. but I’ve never verified. Whatever it is, it seems to me it never goes anywhere, i.e. the lesions remain very small and do not have any serious impact on the host.
Does anyone else actually know what these are? It would be of great interest to me personally, in addition to providing an answer to the arborist.
Cheers!
Enrico
