Dear colleagues,
Dear colleagues,
As you probably know, I'm the coordinator of the IUFRO Working Party
2.08.05 Evolution and Adaptation of Fagaceae and Nothofagaceae.
I'm an experimental tree ecophysiologist in France
<https://eng-silva.nancy.hub.inrae.fr/research-teams/phare/staff/personal-pa…>
and I'm trying to set up an *European network of experimental tree
ecophysiologists*.
I unfortunately don't know the disciplines of all scientists that have
joined our mailing list, but I know that we have quite a few
ecophysiologists in our working party.
I would like to put together a list of scientists in Europe, who are
actively doing experimental forest tree ecophysiology research, to be
more specific about what I mean by ‘experimental tree ecophysiology’:
* experimental approaches where environmental variables are controlled
(soil and air moisture, temperature, CO₂, ozone, wind, etc.)
* therefore approaches in growth chambers, phytotrons, ecotrons,
mesocosms and greenhouses
* scientists studying the tree's responses to the environmental
change, at physiological, cellular, organ or whole plant level
* essentially seedlings in pots, containers, lysimeters, etc
So, if you find yourself within this description, but also if you can
think about colleagues in your country who are actively doing such a
research, I would appreciate very much a short email from you. Some
scientists on the mailing list are not European, but perhaps you have
collaborations in Europe, and know about research groups I could
contact. Or you could forward my email to them. And perhaps, in the long
run, the networking can be enlargened.
In the moment I'm only collecting email addresses, in a second step I
will send out a questionnaire as a basis for networking.
Many thanks in advance
all the best
Oliver Brendel

Dear colleagues,
it has been a while since the last visual group meeting in spring 2024.
I’m sure that you have many exciting new results to share. To be able to
organize a *spring online meeting of our IUFRO group* on /Evolution and
Adaptation of Fagaceae and Nothofagaceae/, mid-May, *we are looking for
a date* that suits most members of the group. Due to the many bank
holidays in May, the choice is be limited to dates between the 18^th
and the 29^th of May.
We propose to do a similar meeting as before, with either pre-recorded
20min talks to watch before the meeting, or 5min live talks (mainly for
students). The pre-recorded talks will give a short 3 min introduction
during the actual meeting, before time for questions and discussion.
We welcome very much presentations of recent publications, by PhD
students, Post-docs or senior scientists. Especially, if you have any
PhD students in your lab with a topic close to our group, please
motivate him or her to either record a 20min talk, or to do a live 5
minutes talk about one experiment of their PhD.
Also, please contact me directly if you have new scientists in your
group to add to the IUFRO mailing list.
In the following date survey you can pick your favourite dates as well
as indicate if you would like to introduce a pre-recorded 20min talk or
do a 3-5min presentation or none.
If possible, also leave a comment with a preliminary title of your talk
(or just some keywords about the species concerned, and your scientific
discipline) and your contact email address (or send me an additional
email , because I need to be able to contact speakers directly and
therefore need an email address).
https://evento.renater.fr/survey/iufro-notho-fagaceae-group-meeting-2026-id…
*Please respond to this survey rapidly, at latest before the 20th of March.*
If you are not sure yet about the exact topic of your talk, this is no
problem, there is still time, but I need a good idea of the number of
talks, and if a selection is necessary.
As for the timing, we propose again a 2 hours meeting: 12:00-14:00
GMT/UTC, so early in the day for Americans (5-7 San Francisco, 7-9
Chicago, 9-11 Argentina), early afternoon for people in Europe (14-16
Paris CEST) and late in the day for scientists in Asia (Tokyo 21-23).
You will be able to watch the 20min talks one week before the meeting on
Youtube (so reserve some time), which also means that the recorded talks
should be available one week before the chosen meeting date.
We hope to see you all there, virtually best regards
Oliver Brendel, Chuck Cannon & Keiko Kitamura

Dear working group colleagues,
summer holidays are over (at least here in the northern hemisphere), a
new university year has started.
During the last webinar, we had planned to do another *webinar in autumn
2023*, however we would have to do it before the time change to winter
time (29th October in Europe, 5th November in the US). After these
dates, the time frame from US west coast to Japan is even more stretched.
I'm not able to organise anything for the last week of October, so I
have set-up an*Evento from the 6th to the 20th of October* (see below).
However, we would need to keep in mind that this is not far away, to I
would need *very rapid feedbacks* on the titles of possible talks, and
speakers would need to prepare their videos quite rapidly.
We propose to do a similar meeting with pre-recorded 20min talks so that
participants can watch the talks before the actual meeting and then
during the meeting, a short 5 min introduction to the talk, before time
for questions and discussion. We welcome very much presentations of
recent publications, by PhD students, Post-docs or senior scientists.
Especially, if you have any PhD students in your lab, please motivate
him or her to either record a 20min talk, or to do a live 3-5 minutes
talk about one experiment of their PhD.
As for the timing, we propose again a 2 hours meeting, with the usual
timing :
12:00-14:00 GMT/UTC, so early in the day for Americans (5-7 San
Francisco, 7-9 Chicago, 9-11 Argentina), early afternoon for people in
Europe (14-16 Paris CEST) and late in the day for scientists in Asia
(Tokyo 21-23)
In the following date survey you can pick your favourite dates as well
as indicate if you would like to introduce a pre-recorded 20min talk or
do a 3-5min presentation. As we do not have much time to prepare, please
also leave a comment with a preliminary title of your talk (or just some
keywords about the species concerned, and your scientific discipline).
https://evento.renater.fr/survey/2-08-05-3rd-virtual-meeting-autumn-2023-lj…
I will end this survey next Wednesday (13th September), if there are
sufficient talks and participants, we go ahead. Otherwise I propose to
wait for spring.
Also, please contact me directly if you have new scientists in your
group to add to the IUFRO mailing list.
By the way, this email has been sent using my personal list of email
addresses, I will send a second email via the IUFRO webmail list (the
subject will start with "reminder", the email body the same as here).
This email has to go through the IUFRO checking process, but if you have
not gotten the test email by Friday, you should check with your IT
services. All other people can just ignore the second email. And send me
an email, so that I can always copy you into all IUFRO emails (I will
keep a separate list).
I hope to see you all virtually in October
all the best
Oliver

Dear colleagues and contacts in the forest genetics world,
Please consider submitting to the following and share with your networks.
We invite you to submit "Resilience of Forest Biodiversity to Climate Change and Pests: Civic Engagement and Conservation in Seed Banks, Public Gardens, and Wild, Urban, and Agroforestry Landscapes". This session is organized by members of the Society of American Foresters, Kew Gardens, Morton Arboretum, and the US Forest Service, and one of eight linked to the International Society of Tropical Foresters. The deadline for abstract submissions is 2 June 2023 (3 weeks from today). The session proposal is included below.
NOTE: Presently, we cannot offer funding for travel and registration; we are exploring options and appreciate any leads you may have.
Session description
To conserve biodiversity, multiple approaches can be taken on the ground. This mini-symposium (Panel, Flash-talks & Posters) represents experts who focus on complementary aspects of conservation and reforestation; threat assessment, seed collecting and banking from wild trees, collective action and civic engagement, the roles of public gardens in conserving genetic resources, developing genetic resistance to pests to conserve biodiversity, and the importance of conserving genetic diversity in the face of pests and climate change.
Seed is the unit by which biodiversity is propagated, and therefore, protected. There is ever increasing pollination disruption with shifting local climate conditions and more fragmented and degraded native ecosystems. As forests and genetic diversity are lost, so are mother trees for seed collection, in a time when people want to greatly scale reforestation efforts. In addition to potential declines in seed crops, global trade, biodiversity loss, and fragmentation increase the threat of emergent insect and pathogen outbreaks, resulting in local or range-wide extinction of iconic tree species. Therefore, there is a global need for threat assessments, seed collection and banking of native tree species.
In the context of the above challenges and solutions, public gardens and arboreta are critical to the resilience of forests and society. In addition to acting as living collections, seed sources, and refugia of tree species, public gardens serve as biodiversity hotspots in cities, and meeting places for public and volunteer conservation efforts and outreach. As sentinels, trees in public gardens can be used to proactively detect emergent disease threats. Through collective action, exchange of information, public engagement, and local expert knowledge, "think global, act local" could be applied to aid proactive efforts to protect forest biodiversity from the next major pests across the world. Local experts and civic ecologists can accomplish this by collecting seed and observing trees in native environments, plantations, public gardens, and urban forests. Breeding or human-directed genetic improvement presents a practical solution for restoration of species that are impacted by emergent pest epidemics, climate change, or other threats. The utility of breeding to protect biodiversity also depends on the prior establishments of seed banks and other germplasm resources. It is critical to generate a prior understanding of the diversity of populations of tree species valued for their ecological, horticultural, or economic and commercial characteristics, the observed or potential effects of threats to those populations, and the role diversity could play in recovery of species.
Topic areas
1: collecting seed, 2: seed banking, 3: assessing threats, 4: think global act local to address threats with civic ecology and urban forests and botanical gardens, 5: public gardens supporting conservation efforts, and 6/7: developing genetic resistance to conserve biodiversity and conserving biodiversity.
