IUFRO The Advocate for Forest Science.
An international conference entitled “Old Forests, New Management” was held in February 2008 in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. The conference covered the ecology and silviculture of temperate and boreal old forests, and included insights from many large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary experiments. The subtitle of the conference was “Conservation and use of old-growth forests in the 21st century”. Its core was biology, ecology and silviculture, surrounded by presentations on social, historical and regulatory aspects. Selected conference papers will be published in a special issue of Forest Ecology and Management.
