In addition to wood and non-wood products, forests also provide foods that supplement what is obtained from agriculture, thus increasing food security. In the fast developing Asia Pacific region, tropical forests and forest genetic resources are threatened by deforestation, forest fragmentation and habitat degradation as a result of unsustainable harvesting of forest products and the conversion of forests to other land uses. This conference will showcase advances in genomics and genetics research for forest species with emphasis on tropical forest species for sustainable management and utilisation.

This consciousness is a relatively recent achievement for the international scientific community. Some catastrophic debris flows and mud flows in the recent past (e.g. Nevado del Ruiz 1985) and many smaller ones but with severe consequences on people, structures and landscape, urge further studies and surveys to understand causes, mechanics and possible countermeasures. The impacts of debris flows become less pronounced when resources are available to cope with the related hazards. Hence, there is a major role for earth scientists and engineers to play in the search for appropriate and sustainable risk mitigation. The general aim of the International Conference on Debris-Flow Hazards Mitigation, is to promote at international level interaction and cooperation among scientists.]]> http://www.geoscienze.unipd.it/5th-DFHM/ Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:47:11 +0200 IUFRO event start=2011-06-14; end=2011-06-17; spatial=Padua, Italy; Important deadlines Abstract submission: 30 November 2009 Extended abstract submission: 31 January 2010 Early bird rate for registration: 31 January 2010 Contributions and participation from forest pathologists, tree breeders, conservationists, tree health professionals, regulators, etc, are welcome.]]> http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-7/70000/70200/70205/activities/#c14972 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:04:26 +0200 IUFRO event start=2010-05-03; end=2010-05-06; spatial=Florence, Italy; The conference will include all aspects of wood science from wood anatomy, forest products, wood identification and wood quality to wood formation, xylem physiology, tree ring analysis, and paleobotany. ]]> http://www.iufro.org/download/file/3938/2062/madison10-1st-announcement.doc Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:18:45 +0200 IUFRO event start=2010-06-23; end=2010-06-26; spatial=Madison, Wi, United States; The conference will draw prominent professionals and expert scientists in different fields, such as forestry, agriculture, environment, socioeconomics, energy, water resources, from all over the world.

Therefore, wise management of forests will become increasingly important. Forests not only provide wood, but many other ecosystem services as well, ranging from biodiversity conservation and carbon storage to various social functions, such that any form of management needs to consider these different functions. This can be achieved through forest segregation (zoning) or integration concepts, or a combination of both. The first concept embraces industrial forestry supported with biotechnology in combination with forest reserves for ecological and social functions. In contrast, the integrative concept includes simultaneous use of forests for various goods and services. Uneven-aged forest management (UAFM) in its broadest sense is one of the oldest existing examples of the integrative use of forest resources. Yet, its use in Europe decreased in the second part of the 20th century due to rigid interpretation, but also due to forest health problems, excessive deer browsing and non-adapted technologies. Often UAFM was criticised for its loose connection with ecological processes, such as natural disturbance regimes. There are also many different interpretations of what UAFM is in various parts of the world and this has led to a greater range of more flexible applications. However, over the last few decades there has been increasing interest in UAFM and it has become increasingly important. The main reasons for this include the increased significance of nature conservation, ecosystem services, forest stability, recreational functions and difficult economic conditions. In spite of many successful practices of UAFM, its ability to integrate ecological theory and natural processes with forest stability, climate change adaptation, technological feasibility and economic efficiency are under debate. This conference is an opportunity to debate and address these issues. The conference objectives are to: 1. analyse the ecological, economic and technological limitations and advantages of UAFM, 2. compare long term best practices of UAFM across different ecosystems, 3. clarify understanding of UAFM and bridge it with other silvicultural systems, and 4. discuss guidelines for the future application of UAFM.]]> http://web.bf.uni-lj.si/go/uafm2010 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:45:34 +0100 IUFRO event start=2010-09-23; end=2010-09-26; spatial=Ljubljana, Slovenia; It is the intention of the organizer of this meeting to consider all aspects of climate change influence, present situation, to exchange experiences (both international and domestic), to define values and problems and suggest measures for prevention of negative influence of climate changes, as well as measures of forests adjustment on present conditions.]]> http://www.iufro.org/download/file/4841/702/belgrade09-1st-announcement.doc/ Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:21:43 +0100 IUFRO event start=2010-03-09; end=2010-03-10; spatial=Belgrade, Serbia; This meeting will explore the challenges of forest carbon sequestration on one of the driest continents on earth and how the processes regulating the exchange of carbon, water and energy will respond to changing climates.

Being Portugal located in the Mediterranean region, one of the most affected by these global phenomena, sharing information will be essential for an efficient understanding and answering actual and future challenges. Forested areas are increasingly important in a context of the Kyoto protocol as they constitute one of the most important natural carbon sinks.

This is especially so in tropical areas where a higher diversity of pests and pathogens exist, as well as in light of the increased trade in timber and seed between countries.

Among the scourges faced by mankind today, environmental pollution is in the forefront. In the greater part of the last century, it was the fast pace of industrialization, galloping demand for energy and reckless exploitation of natural resources, in developed countries, that were mainly responsible for creating the problem of environmental pollution. Current scenario is, however, vastly different, as widespread poverty, illiteracy and burgeoning population are leading to increasing environmental pollution at a pace which were unimaginable only few decades earlier. Climate change is the biggest threat faced by this planet since ‘Ice Age’. There is now worldwide concern about this impending disaster as geographical or political boundaries are no more relevant in the present scenario. When it comes to the hazards of environmental pollution, there is only a very thin dividing line between developed and developing countries. One pollutes and the other suffers, equally, if not more.]]> http://isebindia.com/icpep-4/icpep-4.html Mon, 25 Jan 2010 08:59:53 +0100 IUFRO event start=2010-12-08; end=2010-12-10; spatial=Lucknow, India; The IUFRO Working Party 2.02.15, in collaboration with the Institute of Monitoring and Climatic Systems - Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences - are pleased to announce the 4th conference on "Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines", 15-25 August 2011 in Tomsk, Russian Federation.
