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:5th International Symposium on the Nitrogen Nutrition of Plants - Nitrogen 2023
DESCRIPTION:Nitrogen 2023\, a meeting of people with an interest in plant nitrogen regulation\, metabolism and transport. Nitrogen 2023 will meet in Sydney Australia on November 6-9\, 2023.  \nThe meeting will be held at the University of Sydney in the inner suburb of Camperdown which sits just outside the central business district.\n \nThe Fifth International Symposium on the Nitrogen Nutrition of Plants (Nitrogen 2023) brings together those with a keen interest in plant nitrogen and how best this important nutrient can be used to support plant growth and ultimately produce food\, fibre and oil. With looming global protein shortages expected by 2050\, there has never been a more important period in plant science research to better understand the processes controlling N accessibility\, N metabolism and the delivery of amino acids and proteins to an increasingly hungry planet.  Our ability to meet many of the UN Sustainability Development Goals is intimately linked to improved N fertiliser use and the expansion in availability of protein-enriched foods sourced predominantly from plant inputs.  It’s time to get to work and help solve these problems.

SUMMARY:Malaysian Society of Plant Physiology Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:Scope : Globally\, ecosystems and their constituent flora face the localized and broad-scale influence of human activities. Conservation practitioners and environmental managers struggle to identify and mitigate threats\, reverse species declines\, restore degraded ecosystems\, and manage natural resources sustainably. Scientific research and evidence are increasingly regarded as the foundation for new regulations\, conservation actions\, and management interventions. Conservation biologists and managers have traditionally focused on the characteristics (e.g. abundance\, structure\, trends) of populations\, species\, communities\, and ecosystems\, and simple indicators of the responses to environmental perturbations and other human activities. However\, an understanding of the specific mechanisms underlying conservation problems is becoming increasingly important for decision-making\, in part because physiological tools and knowledge are especially useful for developing cause-and-effect relationships\, and for identifying the optimal range of habitats and stressor thresholds for different organisms. \n\nWho should attend? Researchers\, academicians\, students\, plantation and forest managers\, natural resources stakeholders\, extension officers\, national advisory agency officers\, sociologists\, economists\, funding agency officers\, managers involved in agro-industry\, environment\, science and engineering sectors\, and policy makers. \n\n\nObjectives : \n\nTo disseminate research findings on plant biodiversity through conservation\, physiology\, and sustainable production.\nTo promote organised plant physiology research by encouraging inter-disciplinary and inter-agency collaboration.\n\nTo register: https://mspp.org.my/event.php?id=020

SUMMARY:Genomics-assisted breeding for boosting crop and livestock improvement
DESCRIPTION:The current global challenges of the climate crisis require to quickly adapt our agricultural and livestock production systems to become environmentally and economically sustainable. Technological advances in sequencing and phenotyping and the development of new computational and statistical tools provide an opportunity to address the socio-economic and environmental challenges that agriculture is currently facing. However\, the implementation of the most promising and advanced technologies in current breeding programs is still insufficient\, and there is still large room for improvement. The aim of this conference is to present and discuss the current advances in genome assisted breeding and to shed light on the challenges that need to be addressed to ensure food security for the next decades. \nWe warmly invite you to be part of this exciting conference\, which will be held in the lively city of Barcelona\, Spain\, this coming Spring (May 10-11\, 2023). Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts for poster presentations. The number of participants will be limited\, therefore early registration is recommended. \nThe workshop will be held at CosmoCaixa\, a beautiful modernist building that is nowadays an interactive Science Museum.

SUMMARY:At the forefront of plant research 2023
DESCRIPTION:Plants are the basis of human society -food\, feed\, fiber\, fuel\, medicine-; our life depends on plants in a myriad of ways and addressing pressing current and future societal challenges (the ever increasing demand on agricultural products and natural resources at a global scale\, or food security and quality in a changing environment) will crucially depend on plant research at multiple levels. The past twenty-five years have witnessed a revolution in our understanding of plant biology. The aim of this conference is to present and discuss the current forefront of plant research and to reflect on the prospects and challenges for today’s fundamental science and tomorrow’s agriculture. \nWe warmly invite you to be part of this exciting conference\, which will be held in the lively city of Barcelona\, Spain\, this coming Spring (May 8-10\, 2023).

SUMMARY:Regenerative Agriculture – Understanding the opportunities and challenges
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid event hosted at Hilton York in York City Centre \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe concept of Regenerative Agriculture is successfully engaging the agricultural community\, food industry and policy makers to consider how to utilise agricultural land to maximise the delivery of ecosystem services. \nThere is no single definition of “regenerative agriculture”\, with interpretations varying between practitioners; but it can broadly be defined as “an approach to farming that uses soil conservation as the entry point to regenerate and contribute to the delivery of food production and other ecosystem services”. \nIn practice\, regenerative agriculture can be broken down into 5 key principles: 1) reduced soil disturbance; 2) retention of green cover; 3) retention of living roots in the soil; 4) crop diversification and 5) integration of livestock into rotations. \nIt is recognised that there is a need to bring together the scientific evidence supporting the implementation of regenerative agriculture\, to help evaluate the potential benefits and challenges for food production\, the environment and farm profitability\, across different agroclimatic zones and farming systems. This conference will bring together researchers\, consultants\, farmers\, agronomists and students to share research findings. \nWe invite abstracts that address the impact of regenerative farming on: soil\, water & air quality\, crop performance\, pest management\, farm economics and greenhouse gas balances & biodiversity and social barriers to uptake. Submitted abstracts can address either regenerative practices (e.g. crop residue retention\, cover crops or companion cropping\, reduced tillage\, use of organic manures\, diverse rotations)\, or whole system approaches (e.g. integrating livestock into rotations\, integrated pest management\, mob grazing or farm case studies). \nThe conference will include sessions on the above listed topics and subject area\, and will conclude with a panel discussion which we hope will include farming representatives. The objective of the panel discussion will be to challenge scientists to work with farmers\, in order to help develop the evidence base to support and justify the transition into regenerative agriculture. We hope that a position paper/statement can be generated from this discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSessions will be built around topics that are linked to the principles of regenerative agriculture. \n\nReducing soil disturbance\nRetaining green cover\nRetaining living roots\nDiversification of crops\nIntegrating livestock into crop rotations\n\nInvited speakers and Panel members \n\nLizzie Sagoo\, Soil Scientist\, ADAS Sustainable Agriculture Systems.\nAlastair Leake\, Director of Policy · The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust\nRuth Wade\, Research Fellow\, University of Leeds\nEmily Padfield\, Nuffield Scholar\nDavid Blacker\, Yorkshire Farmer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCall for Abstracts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe encourage submission of abstracts from all sectors interested in Regenerative Agriculture including those in academia\, policy\, farming or industry. We are very interested in promoting research on the impact of Regenerative Agriculture\nSessions will mostly be comprised of talks selected from submitted abstracts. Please submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation whether you will attend as an in-person or online delegate. \nAbstract submission deadline is February 15th 2023

SUMMARY:Phytohormones Congress - Metabolism and mode of action
DESCRIPTION:XVI Phytohormones Symposium: Metabolism and mode of action\, of the Spanish Society of Plant Biology  \nAfter a break due to the Covid19 pandemic\, the SEBP Phytohormones Group will hold its meeting this year\, 2023\, at the Convento de Mínimos de Segovia (Spain) from April 19 to 21.  \nSimilar to other years\, the format of the meeting will be 15-minute talks plus question time\, trying to ensure that most of the laboratories that attend have representation. We would also like to give visibility to the youngest in these talks.  \nThis year we want to launch a new poster presentation format\, which will be in a digital version. The posters will be uploaded to a cloud where researchers will have the opportunity to visit them. To do this\, you can use your own computers or tablets that we will make available to you. The poster will have a link email for further discussion if you want.  \nBoth the summary of the talks and the posters will be collected in a book that will only be online\, but will have an ISSBN number.

SUMMARY:Anthromes\, CO2	\, and Terrestrial Carbon
DESCRIPTION:The Anthromes\, CO2\, and Terrestrial Carbon meeting seeks to explore the inter-relationship of CO2-fertilization\, people\, and land ecosystems through the lens of terrestrial carbon source-sink dynamics during the deep past\, through major cultural transitions\, and in the net-zero motivated near-future. Speakers will span disciplines\, bringing together a group of researchers to provide a global view of the multifaceted impacts of people on terrestrial carbon through time. Goals for the meeting are to: build community\, synthesize how developing understanding of anthromes influences our understanding of the natural land sink under altered CO2\, discuss the future impacts of human cultures and CO2-fertilization on terrestrial ecosystem carbon\, and to consider net-zero culture as a driver of land carbon change\, including the equity outcomes of the race to net-zero. \nWebsite: https://www.anthromes-co2-and-terrestrial-carbon.com/2023/en/page/home

SUMMARY:The 64th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists
DESCRIPTION:In 2023\, the 64th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists (Sendai Annual Meeting) will be held as an in-person meeting. The previous three meetings\, in Osaka\, Matsue\, and Tsukuba\, could not be held in person\, so if it is held as planned\, it will be the first in-person annual meeting for four years. The pandemic has restricted many activities\, including research. On the other hand\, there has been a by-product in the dramatic development of online communication tools. The success of the Matsue and Tsukuba Annual Meetings\, which were held online\, showed us a new direction for the Annual Meetings. The Sendai Annual Meeting will therefore be a hybrid meeting that can also be attended online\, with the aim of ensuring that “no one is left behind”. \nTo the website: https://jspp.org/annualmeeting/64/e_greeting.php
