*Podcast Season 3 Episode 2: New ways of doing things*
In Season 3 of* Branching out: the forest podcast*, we explore how
scientists in IUFRO collaborate across disciplines to tackle emerging
topics through Task Forces. We continue the Season with the topic of
*innovation* and the *Task Force on Scaling-Up Science-based Forest Sector
Innovation.*
Host *Gerda Wolfrum* from IUFRO HQ and co-host *Leila Rossa Mouawad* from
the American University of Beirut, Lebanon, and Deputy Coordinator of
IUFRO’s Communication Working Party, spoke with Task Force co-leads *Lyndall
Bull*, an Australian forester with expertise in innovation and the
bioeconomy trained at the University of Melbourne, and *Rajat Panwar*, a
professor of responsible and sustainable business at Oregon State
University, USA. They emphasized the importance of supporting the scaling
up of science‑based innovation in the forest sector by raising awareness,
strengthening education and communication, and promoting collaboration and
partnerships among multiple stakeholders

*Podcast Season 3 Episode 1: Breaking down silos*
In our new Season 3 of *Branching out: the forest podcast*, we explore how
scientists collaborate across disciplines to tackle emerging topics. This
work happens through IUFRO Task Forces. We kick off the Season with the
topic of bioeconomy and the *Task Force on Building an Integrated Vision of
the Forest-Based Sector within a Bioeconomy*.
Host Gerda Wolfrum and co-host Fernanda Gonzalez from IUFRO HQ spoke with
Ivana Živojinović, a senior scientist at BOKU University in Vienna
(Institute of Forest, Environmental and Natural Resource Policy and the
Center for Bioeconomy), and Ricardo Vargas Carpintero, who recently
completed his PhD at the University of Hohenheim, Germany and is now based
in Colombia. They shared their insights on how the forest-based sector can
contribute to a bioeconomy.

*IUFRO Podcast: Branching out: What Makes a Forest Healthy?*
What defines a "healthy forest"? According to experts on the latest episode
of IUFRO's "Branching Out" podcast, the answer depends entirely on your
objectives. For a forest managed for timber, any insect or disease that
reduces wood quality is a negative influence. However, in a native forest
managed for biodiversity, these same agents can be beneficial, recycling
nutrients and resetting the ecosystem.
In Episode 7, host Jose Bolaños (IUFRO HQ) and co-host Raghav Sharma from
the International Forestry Students' Association (IFSA) spoke with Tod
Ramsfield (Natural Resources Canada/University of Alberta) and Maartje
Klapwijk (Swedish University of Agricultural Science), Co-Coordinators of
Division 7, Forest Health. They explained that their Division focuses on
the interactions between trees and harmful biotic impacts, which are
broadly divided into forest pathology (diseases, often caused by fungi) and
forest entomology (insects).

*IUFRO Podcast: From Tree Only to Participation*
We're excited to invite you to "Branching Out: The Forest Podcast," Season
2, Episode 6, where we talk about the work of IUFRO's Division 6: Social
Aspects of Forests and Forestry. Hosted by Jose Bolaños, IUFRO HQ, and
Ngozi Edum, IFSA, this episode features Purabi Bose, Co-Coordinator of
Division 6.
For too long, the social dimension of forests and forestry was seen as a
"soft skill", with people's participation often overlooked. This episode
addresses that challenge, emphasizing that people's participation is
crucial. You'll uncover how Division 6 serves as a key platform, fostering
cooperation and interdisciplinary communication within the scientific
community.
Purabi Bose highlights the evolution of social aspects, moving from
government-run programs to a focus on community-based forest management and
conservation, especially involving local and Indigenous communities. Learn
about recent scientific developments, including how funding is now
increasingly decentralized and directed to local communities, and the
growing emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion in forest work.
The discussion touches upon critical topics researched by Division 6, such
as forest recreation, nature-based tourism, conflict resolution, urban
forestry, gender in forest science, forest education, and rural governance.
This is an opportunity to explore how these social elements are not
peripheral but central to sustainable forestry.
Don't miss this insightful conversation that calls for more voices and
diverse ideas to highlight the social aspects of forests and forestry. Tune
in to Branching Out: the forest podcast! Listen wherever you enjoy your
podcasts, and don't forget to follow us!

*TECHNICAL PAPER of Working Party 2.08.04: Proceedings of the 14th Biennial
Short Rotation Woody Crops International Conference*
The Short Rotation Woody Crops International Conference is a biennial
meeting of the Short Rotation Woody Crops Operations Working Group with the
aim of promoting information exchange and collaborative efforts for short
rotation woody crop (SRWC) operations and research. The 14th biennial Short
Rotation Woody Crops International was hosted by the University of Missouri
Center for Agroforestry from May 13-16, 2024 in Columbia, MO.
A joint meeting of the Short Rotation Woody Crops International Conference
and the Poplar and Willow Council of Canada (PWCC), the 2024 conference
brought together members of leading SRWC and agroforestry organizations,
including the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry, the
International Commission on Poplars and Other Fast-Growing Trees Sustaining
People and the Environment (IPC) Working Party on Environmental and
Ecosystem Services (WP-ENV), the International Union of Forest Research
Organizations (IUFRO) Working Party 1.03.00 (Short Rotation Forestry
<http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…>),
the IUFRO Working Party 1.06.01 (Phytotechnologies for Degraded Sites in
Rural and Urban Communities
<http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…>),
and the IUFRO Working Party 2.08.04 (Physiology and Genetics of Poplars and
Willows
<http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…>
).
With the theme of "*The Future is Green: Integrating Short Rotation Woody
Crops (SRWCs), Agroforestry, and Ecosystem Services for Sustainable,
Productive Landscapes*", the objective of the 2024 conference was to
highlight current SRWC and agroforestry research with the goal of enhancing
information exchange and fostering collaboration for integrating SWRC into
agroforestry systems.
Additionally, unique to this conference, there were multiple
student-focused initiatives throughout, including:
1) the first ever Woody Crops Scholars Program,
2) a student career panel discussion, and
3) a student presentation competition.
These initiatives enhanced student participation and engagement at the
conference. The conference consisted of 2 plenary presentations, 31 oral
presentations and 17 poster presentations from a variety of topic areas
including agroforestry, biomass production, economics, ecosystem services,
genetics, physiology, and phytotechnologies. In addition, Dr. Benjamin
Knapp from the University of Missouri presented a welcome plenary about the
University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry.
These proceedings
