Dear colleagues,
Within the frame of the next IUFRO World Congress (Salt Lake City,
October 5-11, 2014, http://iufro2014.com), we are organizing a
Technical Session on “Multiple Risks Management in Planted Forest”
(Session N°135) under the congress theme “Forest Health in a
Changing World” (see attached list of sessions).
We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for a
presentation to this session (see attached call for abstracts). We
are particularly interested in presentations addressing
interactions between multiple biotic or abiotic hazards (e.g.
storm and bark beetles, drought and defoliators, etc.) that can
affect planted or plantation forests.
We plan to publish a special issue for this session in the online
open-access forestry journal “Forests”
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests). The editor of the journal
has kindly offered to publish 5 papers free of charge for this
issue.
We hope that the topic will be of interest to you and that you
will be keen to submit an abstract to this session. The deadline
is October 15, 2013. If you can do so, please be so kind to keep
us posted. Please also feel free to forward this message to your
colleagues.
Very best regards,
The organizers
Hervé Jactel, Christophe Orazio, John Moore
