Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you tothe IUFRO Division 8 Conference in 2023.
The event will be held in-person, in Portugal, on 24th-27th October
2023, at the University of Évora, 140km from Lisbon, in the center of
this historical UNESCO World Heritage town and surrounded by the very
unique silvo-pastoral landscapes of the Alentejo region.
The conference focus is on the critical role of forested landscapes
facing pressures driven by the Anthropocene. Increasing challenges
require approaches at different spatial and temporal scales to develop
the understanding on the different ongoing processes and their
consequences for ecological and socio-ecological systems and to find
well-suited solutions towards increasing sustainability.
Abstract submissions until _31^st March 2023._
More information: www.iufro2023.uevora.pt <http://www.iufro2023.uevora.pt>
We look forward to welcoming you to this event.
