SUMMARY:AAB: Applied Tree and Forest Biology Group Webinar: December 2nd
DESCRIPTION:Virtual on Zoom: Monday December 2nd 1pm GMT\nSpeaker: Dr Gareth Thomas\, Rothamsted Research\nUsing the Odour of Bacteria toTackle Acute Oak Decline\nThis webinar will have a 45 minute duration with Gareth speaking for 30minutes followed by 15 minutes for Q+A. \nPlease register for FREE here -> \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwrc-6qrTMjEtO12ap9CKs1Vu_DXaY9KHAC \nSpeaker Introduction: \nGareth Thomas: Gareth is a post-doctoral research scientist with an interest in microbial chemical ecology. He completed his PhD at Rothamsted Research in 2019\, working on characterising the volatile chemical signalling from the beneficial soil fungus Trichoderma hamatum. Following this\, he worked at Cardiff University\, investigating whether the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes could be detected on salad leaves using volatile organic compounds. \nHis current project is part of the BAC-STOP project\, funded by the BBSRC\, NERC\, Defra and the Scottish Government\, working on Acute Oak Decline (AOD); a disease threatening U.K. oak trees. This disease is caused by several pathogenic bacteria\, symptoms of which co-occur with the presence of the beetle Agrilus biguttatus\, which are hypothesised to be vectoring the bacteria. His research aims to determine the role of microbial volatile organic compounds produced by these pathogens in the behaviour of A. biguttatus\, which could enable the identification of attractive bacterial volatiles\, which can then be used to optimise semiochemical based strategies to monitor the spread of the disease across U.K. forests. This work requires a range of techniques\, including microbiology\, dynamic headspace collections\, gas chromatography (GC)\, GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)\, liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS)\, as well as insect behavioural techniques.

SUMMARY:Creating Canopy: the biology and practice of establishing trees and woodlands for people and nature
DESCRIPTION:VISIT MEETING WEBSITE\nWoodland creation has never been more important.\nWe need more woodland for people to enjoy\, for nature\, to sustain our timber security and to help reduce the impact of climate change. We need more trees in urban areas for health\, well-being and environmental benefits. However the simple act of planting or establishing a tree is not quite so simple as it first appears! What is the right tree for the right site? What are evidenced-based scientific\, technical and social challenges and barriers to success? \nUnderpinning these activities is the need for knowledge of tree biology and ecology\, irrespective whether trees are established in urban\, rural or wild landscapes. Creating canopy is not just about planting trees as new nature-based solutions are emerging that help us create new tree and woodland habitats through natural colonisation and regeneration. At the present time we are not establishing enough tree and woodland canopy to meeting targets for NetZero emissions and there is uncertainty about the form and structure of tree and woodland canopy cover into the future. Science and technology play a vital role in establishing trees and woodlands. \nThis event has two phases. Firstly a two-day conference will shine a light on new and emerging priorities\, latest research and technical advances related to creating canopy. Second on day 3 we will host a workshop co-organised by the FraxNet Network. Delegates are invited to join for two or three days\, either in-person or virtually. \n\nMajor Themes in ‘Creating Canopies’\n· Urban Canopies – merging engineering with nature solutions? \n· Natural processes – colonisation and natural regeneration to increase taxonomic and functional diversity \n· What grows with what? Tree and woodland establishment in agroforestry systems \n· Planting new productive woodlands – biology\, genetics and ecology \n· A climate of change – genotype and species choices for the future \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvited Speakers\nDouglass Jacobs\, Regeneration and Restoration Silviculture Laboratory\, Purdue University\, USA \nEstrella Luna-Diaz\, BIFoR\, University of Birmingham\, UK \nManuel  Esperon-Rodriguez\, Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment\, Western Sydney University\, Australia \nJo Bradwell\, Norbury Park Estate and JABBS Foundation \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvited Speaker for FraxNet meeting \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMichelle Cleary\, Senior Lecturer in Forest Pathology\, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences \nRuth Mitchell\, Biodiversity and Ecosystems Group Lead\, James Hutton Institute \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract Submission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe encourage submission of abstracts for delegates to present their work linked to any aspect of tree-planting. \nSUBMIT AN ABSTRACT HERE\nWe will select oral presentations from both in-person and online delegates so please submit an abstract however you will participate in the meeting. Abstracts submitted will be considered for both the main two-day ‘Creating Canopies’ event and for day three ‘EU-Ash Network’ event. \nA evening poster session and drinks reception will be hosted on Day 1 with the posters on show for all three days of the event. \nWe hope to announce the meeting schedule in September 2023. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDEFRA Travel grants \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe UK Government ‘Department of the Environment and Rural Affairs’ (DEFRA) is supporting the attendance of early career professionals by providing grants to cover travel and accommodation costs. There is a £2000 available which will be shared amongst eliigble applicants. AAB Early Career Professionals are current students or anyone within 5 years of finishing full-time education. \nPlease download the application form and return within one month of the meeting. Successful applications will need to write a short report that reflects on their experience at the meeting. \nDOWNLOAD APPLICATION FORM (doc)

SUMMARY:IUFRO Forest Environment DIV8 Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:IUFRO Forest Environment is pleased to announce the All Division 8 Conference in 2023. The event will be held in-person\, in Évora\, Portugal\, on 24th-27th October 2023\, at the University of Évora\, in the center of this historical UNESCO World Heritage town\, located in South of Portugal\, 140 km from Lisbon. \nThe conference will focus on the critical role of forested landscapes facing pressures driven by the Anthropocene. Many of the increasing challenges require approaches at different spatial and temporal scales to increase understanding about the different ongoing processes and their consequences for ecological and socio-ecological systems to find well-suited solutions towards increasing sustainability. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChanging landscapes towards sustainability often requires transformational and transitional thinking\, knowledge and innovative approaches\, including changes in how biodiversity is perceived and valued\, new relationships between societal actors\, new rules and management schemes\, as well as supportive rather than controlling roles of governments. All these demands a holistic vision from society and decision-makers to ensure more resilient forested landscapes and better adapted to the most predictable scenarios of climate change and disturbance regimes.
