Dear Colleagues,

The deadline for abstract submission to the IUFRO Regional Congress for Asia and Oceania (Beijing, China, 24-27 October 2016 http://www.iufro-ao2016.org) is coming. There is still room for voluntary presentations in one of the sessions organised by the IUFRO RG 7.01 and its WPs:

No. 1: Impacts of changing climate and atmospheric deposition on forest ecosystem structure, function and management (organisers: Steve McNulty, Enzai Du)
No. 10: Sustainable biomass for Asia’s growing bioeconomy: regional initiatives and promising examples (organizers: Viktor Bruckman, Maliwan Haruthaithanasan)
No. 16: The role of urban forests in improving air quality (organisers: Zhaozhong Feng, David Nowak)
No. 23: Air pollution and climate change impacts on forest ecosystems (organisers: Elena Paoletti, Shang He)
No. 24: IUFRO Task Force on Climate Change and Forest Health (organisers: Elena Paoletti, Marcus Lindner, Andrzej Bytnerowicz, Ecki Brokerhoff)

While the congress focuses on the Asia and Oceania region, participants from other parts of the world are most welcome.

We look forward to seeing  you in Beijing

Best regards,

Elena Paoletti

Dear friends and colleagues,


In a recent email to our Division 7 mailing lists I mentioned our planned contribution to the IUFRO Regional Congress for Asia and Oceania in Beijing which will take place from 24-27 October 2016.  For details about the congress see http://www.iufro-ao2016.org


There will be several sessions that are organised by Div. 7, and we hope to have a good level of participation. We are still looking for speakers (and poster presenters) especially for the session on 'Preventing invasions of forest insects and pathogens'.  


For this session we are primarily interested in contributions on invasive insects and pathogens; however, we would also consider other entomology or pathology presentations. We have tentatively reserved a double session, and we may be able to split this into two sessions on different topics.


There may still be room also in the sessions that Elena Paoletti and Jolanda Roux are organising.


Please note, the deadline for abstract submission is coming up soon (on 15 May) so there is not terribly much time left.


If you have any questions or comments, for example, if you would like to know whether we would consider a presentation on a particular topic suitable, feel free to get in touch with us (see our email addresses below).


Also, while the congress focuses on the Asia and Oceania region, participants from other parts of the world are most welcome. 


We look forward to seeing at least some of you at the regional congress in October.


Best regards,

Eckehard (“Ecki”) Brockerhoff
