Scientific Summary 96 in IUFRO News Vol. 41, Issue 10, November 2012

At the "Trees beyond Wood" conference in Sheffield, UK, ecologists, foresters, woodland managers, tree experts and enthusiasts, and historians met to explore concepts of woods, forests and trees.

The conference "Trees beyond the Wood: an exploration of concepts of woods, forests and trees" conference held in Sheffield, September 2012, was a great success.
