A wealth of knowledge relating to the ecology and management of boreal mixedwood forests has been developed over the past 20 years, by researchers and forest managers. The Boreal Mixedwoods 2012 conference will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of current knowledge relating to the ecology and management of mixedwood stands and landscapes to achieve ecological, social and economic objectives. This includes evolving opportunities to improve the value of products being produced from these forests. ]]> http://www.ualberta.ca/~pcomeau/mixedwoods2012/borealmixewoods2012.html Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:22:02 +0100 IUFRO event start=2012-06-17; end=2012-06-20; spatial=Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; The 15th EFUF Conference will highlight the crucial role played by urban forests in delivering essential ecosystem services for people in urban landscapes, especially in relation to the problem of how to maintain new large-scale urban forests and urban green spaces with declining public sector budgets. ]]> http://www.ufz.de/efuf2012/ Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:53:19 +0100 IUFRO event start=2012-05-08; end=2012-05-12; spatial=Leipzig, Germany;
