FChange 2014 is a conference of the IUFRO unit 4.02.00 Forest resources inventory and monitoring. Forests still cover 31% (~4 billion hectares) of our planet’s land cover. Hence, major challenges are connected with the management and preservation of forest ecosystems. Mitigation and adaptation strategies towards climate change, food and energy security for a growing population, as well as conservation of ecosystem services, they all potentially change forest area and structure. As an example, forest cover changes already contribute 12-15% of the world’s annual carbon emissions associated with the loss of biodiversity and many environmental services. Still major problems exist in providing accurate estimates of forest cover and quality change. However, this would form an important precondition to implement incentives for developing countries to stop deforestation. Moreover, efforts to mitigate or even stop losing natural forests must be well harmonized with the agricultural sector, because the world is also facing a by 50 to 70% increased food demand in 2050. For the FChange-Conference paper and poster contributions to the provided keynotes are welcome: Terrestrial Survey Methods; Remote Sensing Survey Methods; Ecosystem and Environmental Services Biophysical + Natural Drivers of Forest Change; Anthropogenic Drivers of Forest Change; Management Systems & Concept. ...

Die Forstwissenschaftliche Tagung stellt die Forstwissenschaften in ihrer gesamten disziplinären Breite zusammen und bietet der Öffentlichkeit einen Überblick über die forstwissenschaftliche Forschung im deutschsprachigen Raum. Sie dient dadurch auch dem Austausch der Forstwissenschaftler über die disziplinären Grenzen hinweg. Organisiert wird die Forstwissenschaftliche Tagung in zweijährigem Turnus gemeinsam von den an den Universitäten in Dresden, Freiburg, Göttingen und München tätigen Forstwissenschaftlern und dem Deutschen Verband forstlicher Forschungsanstalten. Im Rahmen der Forstwissenschaftlichen Tagung wird der Deutsche Forstwissenschaftspreis verliehen. ... [Information des Anbieters]
IUFRO prides itself on being one of the world’s oldest international scientific organizations. When IUFRO was established in 1892 by the forestry research institutes of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, these founding members shared the conviction that scientific research needed to be an international activity. Almost 125 years later, we are able to state with pride that this vision of our founding members has not only materialized, but has achieved a level I am sure they would not have dreamed possible. Today IUFRO unites over 15,000 scientists in more than 120 countries from virtually every part of the world. The thematic spectrum of IUFRO’s activities is equally unparalleled and includes more than 250 scientific units. The unique qualities of IUFRO as a networking organization are also well-reflected through the more than 70 IUFRO-sponsored meetings held every year around the globe. Our 125th Anniversary Congress in Freiburg will not only celebrate the accomplishments of the past. It will also establish a dialogue on the future of forestry and forest research. These discussions will focus on globally pressing topics such as how to enhance the contribution forest research will need to make towards mitigating climate change, conserving biodiversity, providing water, creating income and employment, and improving the quality of life. Issues such as how changes and disruptions in society and technologies are likely to impact on forests and people in the future will also be discussed. ... [Information of the supplier]
Today millions of people around the globe are suffering from the severe effects of climate change and environmental disasters. It has never been more imperative than now to utilize the natural solutions we already have – bamboo and rattan. By hosting the first Global Bamboo and Rattan Congress (BARC2018), we seek to provide a platform for south-south and south-south-north cooperation on sustainable development and further develop bamboo and rattan’s role in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). On 25-27 June 2018, ministers, governments officials, scientists, conservationists, educators, and business leaders will gather together at the China National Convention Center in Beijing, to address these pressing global issues. ...
