IUFRO 2024 Session 'Public engagement to keep urban trees and communities healthy'

by Hulbert, Joseph Michael

Greetings friends and colleagues, Apologies for cross posting. Please consider joining us in Sweden next June (2024) for a special session at the IUFRO 2024 World Congress. The session ‘Public engagement to keep urban trees and communities healthy’ (details below) is accepting both oral and poster presentations. Please note the deadline for abstract submissions is June 15, 2023. IUFRO XXVI World Congress Session in Stockholm Sweden, June 23-29 2024 (https://iufro2024.com/) Title: Public engagement to keep urban trees and communities healthy ID: 50013 Session type: Technical Duration: 120 minutes Congress theme: 4: Forests for sustainable societies Oral and poster presentations welcome! Organizers: Joey Hulbert1, Ana Perez-Sierra2, Rich Hallett3, Susan Hester4 1Washington State University, United States 2Forest Research, United Kingdom 3USDA Forest Service, United States 4University of Melbourne; University of New England, Australia Description: Much of the world’s populations live in cities where they rely on the services of healthy urban forests. Keeping city trees healthy is critical for mitigating the effects of heat waves and ensuring communities remain resilient to climate change. However, urban forests are often the front-lines against invasive pest introductions and their general presence in the built environment predisposes them to the effects of climate change. Given the density of people in urban environments, there is enormous opportunity for public engagement to monitor and study tree health. This session will highlight many projects and approaches for engaging communities in urban forest health research globally. Abstracts can be submitted at https://iufro2024.com/call-for-congress-abstracts/ Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We hope to see you there We are grateful for the extension of abstract submission deadline by the congress organizers.

Session IUFRO 2024: ‘Risk-based surveillance for quarantine forest pests’

by Benno Andreas Augustinus

Dear managers of the forent and forpath mailing lists, Would it be possible to send the following mail through the mailing list to promote a session in next year’s IUFRO meeting in Stockholm (and to remind people that the deadline for abstract submissions is coming up)? Dear colleages, The deadline for abstract submissions for the IUFRO 2024 meeting in Stockholm is coming up, and we would like to use the opportunity to motivate you to send abstracts for the session ‘Risk-based surveillance for quarantine forest pests’. Description of session: Ongoing globalisation results in increased introductions of non-native organisms in novel environments, mainly connected to trade activities. Some of these organisms can become forest pests, with devastating results. Globally, countries have implemented different schemes of national surveillance for invasive pests and pathogens. National Plant Protection Organisations (NPPOs) are responsible for the surveillance of pests in their countries, as well as their control (eradication, containment). Preventing the introduction and spread of plants pests, is more cost effective than controlling and mitigating the impact of pests once they have established in a territory. To add to the unknowns, many invasive forest pests become only known to science after introduction in a novel environment. Identifying these threats beforehand (for example by using ex-patria sentinel plantings) is necessary to inform further steps. Furthermore, the pathways of introductions need to be investigated, for example by comparing global trade and invasion patterns, identifying hotspots for invasions and areas particularly suitable for the establishment and spread of invasive pests. Early warning systems (like trapping programs or in-patria sentinel plantings) can then be deployed to inform reactive management like quarantine and eradication efforts. It is of high importance that the benefits of the surveillance and management of quarantine forest pests outweigh the risks of an outbreak, which can be assessed using bio-economic models. Different surveillance schemes are being developed for and by different countries. Especially on the international level, communication in between countries is limited, while the challenges and opportunities are similar internationally. This session’s ambition is to inform and connect national surveillance schemes on an international level, and scientists that are working on the interface of research and implementation. It also aims to inform decision makers and risk assessors on: 1. Identification of future biotic threats before arrival 2. Identification of pathways 3. Implications for (inter)national measures for surveillance Kind regards, the organizers of this session (Benno Augustinus, Maria Chiara Rosace, Andrea Battisti, Brett Hurley, Etsuko Kagaya, Victoria Lantschner, Vittorio Rossi, Valentin Queloz, and Eckehard Brockerhoff)

IUFRO Congress session on history of forest health management

by Andrew Liebhold

Dear Forest Entoids: We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to our technical session for the IUFRO Congress in Stockholm, 2024. We would be especially delighted to receive contributions that include different disciplinary and practical perspectives to address forest health issues. *“Learning from the past to better inform the future: integrated approaches to increase forest health and resilience”* Trees, woods and forests provide significant socio-cultural, ecological and economic benefits. Science has highlighted the exponential increase in the introduction and spread of invasive species due to the growth in trade and travel, the speed and volume at which they travel and the difficulties of protecting porous boundaries. Climatic changes have supported establishment of introduced pests and pathogens or explosions of native species pushing large swathes of forests to their limits of resilience. Human attitudes and actions play an important role in the future resilience of forests but tree managers face a difficult task in identifying the right approach to take when faced with ecological, social and political uncertainty. History has much to teach us. A holistic and interdisciplinary approach to promoting forest health requires multiple disciplines and perspectives and acknowledgement that different societies will favour specific approaches, but we can learn from each other. This session will focus on the historical evolution of different forest health management activities influenced by political and/or economic transitions, cultural transformations and societal trends. We seek to share stories of pest and pathogen management where the outcomes were considered successful or not so successful, why and what next. Top-down management regimes are no longer considered acceptable despite their continued existence in some parts of the world. Instead, we recognise a shift towards an ethical and just approach wider engagement is necessary to ensure that management approaches for forest health are resilient and acceptable. Our speakers will share their stories of lessons learned and we will end with an interactive panel session encouraging audience participation on approaches to co-designing a biosecure and resilient future. The session includes 15-minute talks and posters; submissions are now open: https://iufro2024.com/call-for-congress-abstract. *Abstracts will be accepted until 2 June 2023.* We look forward to receiving your submissions to this session. Kind regards, *Mariella Marzano, Sandy Liebhold , Maartje Klapwijk , session organisers.* Andrew Liebhold https://www.fs.usda.gov/research/about/people/aliebhold Northern Research Station 304-285-1512 USDA Forest Service 304-285-1505 FAX 180 Canfield St. 724-317-8668 mobile Morgantown, WV 26505 USA

Open PhD position at SLU in Uppsala

by Maartje Klapwijk

Please spread this advertisement in your networks and to suitable PhD candidates! PhD position: Below and aboveground interactions affecting tree susceptibility to bark beetle attack The PhD position is available at the department to investigate the mechanisms behind tree drought responses and insect resistance. Spruce trees form symbiotic associations with ectomycorrhizal fungi that may be critically important at times of water stress as mycorrhiza improve the ability of their tree hosts to resist, tolerate, and recover from drought. The aim of this PhD position is to investigate the relationship between soil moisture conditions, mycorrhizal colonisation and community composition, and spruce resistance against European spruce bark beetle attack. The project will use a simulated drought event, combining field studies, laboratory experiments and molecular techniques. The project will strive to contribute to development of existing ecological theory and advance our understanding of ecological interactions, and we aim to produce knowledge that can be used in decision-making. As PhD student you will have good opportunities to develop international networks as well as contacts with stakeholders. We offer a vibrant research environment at the Department of Ecology with a well-structured PhD education. If you find the project interesting, do not hesitate to apply. Please elaborate on your motivation for applying in your application letter. Deadline 25 May 2023 - apply via the online application form (applications via email will not be considered) –– Maartje J.
