Dear Colleagues of IUFRO Beech Group,
Today I joined the mailing list of IUFRO beech group.
Few days ago, I and my co-authors had published biomass
equations for European beech trees growing on dry forests.
I would like to share this publication, as it may be
helpful for some of you. Here is the link of the article:

Many regards from Freiburg, Germany and looking forward to
join the future activities of the group.

World Biodiversity Congress (WBC), November 24-27, 2014, Colombo, Sri Lanka.
INVITATION from the President WBC-2014
Integrating Bio-conservation with Natural Heritage
<http://www.wbc2014.in> http://www.wbc2014.in
Dear Sir/ Madam,
There is growing recognition of the fact
that biological resources and diversity are vital to humankind's economic
and social development. It is accepted that Biological diversity is a global
asset of tremendous value, and it needs to be preserved for future
generations. At the same time, the threat to species and ecosystems has
never been greater than it is today and, it is vital that biodiversity
conservation is given due recognition in order to ensure that the ongoing
development embodies a strong sense of sustainability. Sri Lanka is an
island, 65,610 km2 in area situated close to the Southeast corner of the
peninsula of India. Despite its relatively small size, Sri Lanka possesses a
high level of biodiversity. Sri Lanka is one of the 34 biodiversity hotspots
identified in the world and has the highest biodiversity per unit area of
land amongst Asian countries.
Sri Lanka welcomes the Scientific
Community to WBC-2014 at Colombo, Sri Lanka. The scheduled congress
organized by Global Scientific Research Foundation, Bangalore, India in
association with Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka and Department of
Biological Sciences, Rajarata University of Sri Lanka, will provide a
platform for Scientists and conservation leaders. WBC-2014 also provides a
platform for environmental consultants , environmental advocates, corporate
and public policy-makers across the world for knowledge exchange and network
development. This conference will help traditional communities and
conservation scientists to collaboratively generate knowledge about nature
and its conservation. The conference emphasizes on conservation of
Biodiversity and natural heritage and will highlight the crucial role of
biodiversity in our global society and relate biodiversity to the global
millennium goals in order to achieve sustainable development
Indeed it is our honour as
Organizers of WBC-2014, to request your esteemed organization to support the
WBC to be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka during 24th-28th November 2014.
Collaborators of the World Biodiversity Congress can help us to spread the
information, can contribute by sending congress emails to your membership,
including us in your newsletter, adding our conference to your calendar of
events, participating in the conference program, providing an opportunity by
allowing the organizers to include an advertisement in your publication and
so forth. The collaborating organizations / institutions shall be
recognized as such on the conference website and in conference materials. We
greatly acknowledge the sponsorship of the organizations for the success of
the biodiversity congress.
We are sure your esteemed organization
would be one of the collaborators of the World Biodiversity Congress. If you
consider our request, kindly send your logo and consent to use the same in
the congress website and in congress materials. We welcome your suggestions
for the successful organization of the congress and looking forward to your
