XXIII IUFRO World Congress will be organised in Seoul, Korea in 23-28 August 2010. One of the nine IUFRO Congress Themes is Forests and Climate Change:
Forest managers and policy makers need the best available science, models and decision tools, and monitoring systems to support adaptation and mitigation options for fostering healthy, productive forests and for ensuring continued provision of ecosystem services in a changing climate. Contributions to this theme will include: effects of climate change on the structure and function of forest ecosystems; interactions between climate and disturbance regimes such as fire, insect and disease, or invasive species; effects of changing climate on ecosystem services; management options for facilitating adaptation of forest ecosystems; mitigation options for optimizing carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas (GHG) offsets; carbon and GHG accounting protocols; feedbacks between climate-induced changes, management options, and global warming potential; and monitoring the impacts of changing climate and of mitigation and adaptation actions.
