			<title>Inaugural Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative Conference &amp; GFBI-FECS Joint Symposium 2017: Forest Research in the Big Data Era</title>
			<description><![CDATA[From 2017-09-06 to 2017-09-09, Beijing, China, IUFRO Unit(s) involved: 4.02.07<br />
Forests are critical in the fight against biodiversity loss and climate change. But successful policy to govern these valuable resources necessitates a fundamental understanding of forests at a global scale. Until now, the required large-scale understanding of forest ecosystems has been based on remote sensing data. We can now supplement this information with massive ground-sourced inventory data at a global scale, which will greatly enhance our understanding of forest dynamics in a global context. The GFBI is a global research network focused on the use of big data to enhance our fundamental understanding of the global forest system. We would like to invite you to join us in our first conference in Beijing in September 2017, which will bring together experts from around the world that are focused on the use of &quot;big data&quot; to understand forest systems. By combining our expertise and knowledge on a range of approaches, we hope that this conference can serve as a platform to strengthen the connections within this vibrant research community.

			<title>3rd Restoring Forests: Regeneration and Ecosystem Function for the Future</title>
			<description><![CDATA[From 2017-09-12 to 2017-09-14, Lund, Sweden, IUFRO Unit(s) involved: 1.01.06, 1.01.00, 1.06.00, 2.01.15, T31<br />
Conversion of natural habitats into degraded lands or forests is a major threat to sustainable development all over the world. Degradation of forests erodes environmental services, such as production of wood and biomass, natural habitats for biodiversity, watershed protection, and provision of non-woody forest products. In addition, forest degradation contributes severely to climate change. Today, huge areas worldwide are in urgent need of forest restoration. This necessitates spatial prioritization of restoration efforts according to future-oriented cost-benefit analyses that are based on scientific knowledge. To support this process, we organize an international scientific conference, The 3rd Restoring Forests: Regeneration and Ecosystem Function for the Future, which communicates the state-of-the-art in the relatively new research field of restoration ecology. The conference will focus on the following main topics: Learning from the past for the future, stress tolerant plant materials, and designing and establishing resistant / resilient forest landscapes. Thus, the scope of the conference will cover a broad array of relevant research, promoting cross- and inter-disciplinary. All main topics will have clear bearings for the practical forest restoration, which will invite to science-society interactions. ]]></description>

			<title>6th International Forest Engineering Conference: Quenching our thirst for new knowledge</title>
			<description><![CDATA[From 2018-04-16 to 2018-04-19, Rotorua, New Zealand, IUFRO Unit(s) involved: 3.00.00<br />
The Forest Engineering Conferences series (FEC) has been initiated to provide a truly international conference event that attracts researchers and practitioners from the broad field of forest engineering and forest operations. The overall goal is to create a forum where those engaged in forest engineering and operations can share research ideas and experiences from around the world, network with people with similar interests and experience as well as increase the profile and recognition of forest engineering as a discipline. It is one of the only such events where there is a clear objective to link representatives from the academic world to representatives from the private sector and government which are ultimately the clients of the findings and innovations generated by the research community. The FECs are held every 3 or 4 years and are intended to compliment annual regional events such as COFE in North America and FORMEC in Europe. The FEC events are supported and promoted by IUFRO Division 3.]]></description>

Ozone pollution continues to be a serious issue for terrestrial ecosystems and plant health. Progress has been achieved by controlling the emission of precursors in some areas of the world, but much remains to be done. This conference will allow all experts in the interactions between ozone and plant ecosystems to meet and discuss the state of the art and the strategies for continuous improvements. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[From 2018-06-24 to 2018-06-28, Vancouver, BC, Canada, IUFRO Unit(s) involved: 9.04.00<br />
The goal of the conference is to continue the work on forest economics for the 21st century that started in 2012 at ETH Zurich. The key objectives of the conference are: - to bring together leading thinkers in forest economics from academia, government, and organizations related to the forest sector to explore thought-provoking perspectives on the interaction between the market square and the public square; and - to provide a unique forum to present and discuss cutting-edge thinking papers that will enrich and provide future directions to the discipline of forest economics.]]></description>

			<title>Managing eucalypt plantations under global changes</title>
			<description><![CDATA[From 2018-09-17 to 2018-09-21, Montpellier, France, IUFRO Unit(s) involved: 2.08.03, 1.02.01<br />
Eucalypt plantations cover approximately 20 million hectares worldwide and are expanding rapidly to provide the raw material for wood, paper, and biofuel products as well as large amounts of firewood and charcoal for domestic uses. Breeding programs and silvicultural practices must be revisited to face the ongoing global changes. As in previous IUFRO meetings (Bordeaux 1990, Hobart 1995, Salvador 1997, Valdivia 2001, Aveiro 2004, Durban 2007, Porto Seguro 2011, Nanning 2015), this conference will be a great opportunity for scientists and managers of forest plantations to present the recent advances in silviculture and genetics and to improve our understanding of the response of eucalypts to biotic and abiotic stresses. The ecosystem services influenced by eucalypt monocultures and mixed-species plantations with eucalypt trees will be addressed.]]></description>
