Dear Meliaceae Researcher:
The IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress will be held in Freiburg, Germany,
September 19-22, 2017. The deadline for session proposals was June 30,
2016, and I missed that (!). But we still have an opportunity to organize a
session on Research Advances for the Meliaceae if sufficient abstracts are
submitted for such a session. So if you are interested in participating in
a session for the Meliaceae Working Party 1.04.02, (
http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-1/10000/10200/10204/) (
http://www.iufro.org/) please submit an abstract by *November 30, 2016*,
at http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts/ .
For the abstract to be considered for a Meliaceae session, please submit
under *Theme 3: Forests and Forest-Based Products for a Greener Future*,
and then *42 - Open Session*. Please send an email to
mahoganyforthefuture(a)gmail.com, when you have submitted an abstract for the
Meliaceae session, so that I can inform the meeting organizers that the
abstract should be included in the Meliaceae session. Instructions for
abstract submission are attached, as well as instructions for applying for
assistance to attend the meeting, if you qualify.
The IUFRO Meliaceae Working Party is a forum for the exchange of
information for all interested parties on sustainable management and
genetic resources for timber species of the Meliaceae. For the Meliaceae
session, it would be good to cover a range of advances in Meliaceae
management in natural forests and plantations, ecology, genetics, insects
and their control, and uses of Meliaceae species in different contexts such
as afforestation and watershed protection, among other topics.
Hope to see you in Freiburg!
Sheila Ward
Coordinator, IUFRO Working Party 1.04.02
Dear Meliaceae researchers:
If you have publications in the last 5 years on the Meliaceae, and would
like to share the abstracts and citations with the rest of the list, could
you please send along the information by October 25 to be compiled and
shared?
Thanks,

*IUFRO Task Force on Biological Invasions Meets in USA*
Biological invasions by non-native plants, insects, plant pathogens,
mammals and other organisms are altering forest ecosystems and threatening
the sustainable management of forests worldwide. The IUFRO Task Force on
Biological Invasions is working on the synthesis of the current scientific
knowledge on invasions as well as identifying knowledge gaps. *More*

*Climate Change Induces Northward Expansion of Forest Pests*
Climate change is causing northward shifts in species ranges. For mobile
species such as insects this will increase their access to forest
ecosystems where in the past their presence and impact was limited. Against
this background a workshop on "Climate induced range shifts in boreal
forest pests and their ecological consequences" was organized in Sept-Îles,
Québec, Canada. *More* <http://www.iufro.org/index.php?id=6356#c25600>…
*The Use of Vegetation to Improve Slope Stability*
The international conference on Soil Bio- and Eco-engineering was the
fourth meeting in the series. It was hosted by the School of Geosciences,
University of Sydney, Australia. This conference is a unique venue for
scientists and practitioners to meet and discuss advances in research and
methods on slope stability, erosion & vegetation. *More*

*Ecosystem Services and Natural Hazards of Mountain Forests in Central Asia*
Mountain forests in Central Asia provide critical provisioning, regulating,
supporting, and cultural ecosystem services (ES). Investigations of the ES
benefits of forests in the region include numerical weather modeling to
evaluate the services of forested watersheds. An International Expert
Workshop took place on 18–22 July 2016 in Kapriz Center, Baktuu – Dolonotu,
Kyrgyz Republic. *More* <http://www.iufro.org/index.php?id=6356#c25604>…
*Successful IUFRO Session on Governance and Forest Landscape Restoration at
the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Hawai'i*
The purpose of the session was to better understand governance challenges
related to forest landscape restoration (FLR) implementation, and options
to address these. The case studies that were presented referred to
situations where the context in terms of technical capacities, legal
systems, tenure arrangements, economics, landscape histories, among others,
differed significantly. *More*

Subject: IUFRO Meliaceae Working Party e-list - new ITTO project on Cedrela odorata in Guyana
http://www.itto.int/project_search/detail/?proid=TMT-SPD014%2F13+Rev.1+%28M… is the project document on ‘Enhancing the sustainable management and commercial utilization of the CITES-listed species Cedrela odorata (red cedar) in Guyana’. Peter van der Hout, formerly of Stichting Tropenbos International at Wageningen, is the forest resource management specialist now managing this 18-month project at the Guyana Forestry Commission. Peter conducted his PhD and post-doctoral studies on reduced-impact logging in Guyana and has carried out several consultancies there and in adjacent Suriname for FAO, and for the GFA Consulting Group on independent forest monitoring in Guyana, so he is familiar with the problems of working in that country.
