20th SSAFR Coming Up!

20th Symposium on Systems Analysis in Forest Resources (SSAFR 2024)
Hondarribia, Basque Country, Spain; 13-17 May 2024
Units involved: 4.04.04, 4.04.06.

Since 1975, SSAFR has been the premier international forum for forest systems analysis, operations research (OR) and decision science. The SSAFR community has been the primary contributor to almost all key forest management and planning research during the past century, e.g., harvest scheduling, supply chain, forest health, spatial optimization, wildland fire risk management, simulation, stochastic process, and forest and fire economics. The SSAFR community also embraces the opportunities of emerging new data science technologies and the challenges from the global climate changes.

This 20th  symposium will accept abstracts related with the following subjects:

  1. Application of Remote Sensing In Forestry
  2. Forest Modelling
  3. Forest management and planning
  4. Forest transportation and supply chain optimization
  5. Wildfire risk simulation, management and decision support
  6. Forest health, invasive species, and wildlife habitat management
  7. Spatially explicit optimization
  8. Stochastic process simulation and optimization
  9. Quantitative forest and fire economics
  10. Forest and watershed management  
  11. Data science and machine learning
  12. Forest systems analysis under the impact of climate change


Abstract submission deadline:  1 March 2024

Special Issue on "Disturbance Management in Forest Ecosystems"

Dear Colleagues,

We welcome the submission of manuscripts for publication in a Special Issue on "Disturbance Management in Forest Ecosystems" of the journal International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. Manuscripts  may address challenges regarding (a) the characterization of disturbance regimes, namely, under scenarios of climate change; (b) the ecology and management of disturbance agents; (c) the assessment of the impacts of disturbances on the provision of ecosystem services; (d) the integration of concerns with disturbance agents in management planning; and (e) the development of regulatory frameworks and policy analysis to address concerns about the impact of disturbance agents on forested landscapes. This special issue is sponsored by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO Unit 4.04.04—Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling).

Special Issue on "Decision Support to Address Multiple Ecosystem Services in Forest Management Planning"

Dear Colleagues,

We welcome the submission of papers to a Special Issue on "Decision Support to Address Multiple Ecosystem Services in Forest Management Planning" of the journal Forests. Manuscripts may focus on 1) models to help forest managers check the impact of management options on the provision of ES, 2) methods to help forest managers develop plans targeting the supply of ES, 3) methods to help forest managers analyze tradeoffs between a multitude of ES, 4) methods to help forest managers assess the sensitivity of the supply of ecosystem services to uncertain parameters and 5) multiple criteria decision support systems, 6) approaches to map the demand for ES and the quality and quantity of ES supply. This Special Issue is sponsored by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO Unit 4.04.04—Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling and IUFRO Unit 4.03—Informatics, Modelling, and Statistics and IUFRO Unit 4.03.03. Information management and information technologies).

XXV IUFRO World Congress - Session C4e Decision Support Approaches for Forestry of the 21th Century

Dear Colleagues,

I welcome you to attend the session C4e Decision Support Approaches for Forestry of the 21th Century (IUFRO THEME: D - Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services and Biological Invasions) in the upcoming XXV IUFRO World Congress, in Curitiba, Brazil, September 29 - October 5, 2019). This session aims at providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art decision support approaches and methods of operation research in forest ecosystem, management. The session is lead by Jan Kašpar (Unit 4.04.07) and is co-organized by Bruce Talbot (Unit 3.04.01) and myself (Unit 4.04.04). We will update you soon with the full list of presentations.

Looking forward to meeting you in Curitiba.
