Workshop Invitation
Forest Ecology
June, 10th - 11th 2010
"The Role of Insects in Forest Ecosystem Functioning under Changing Environmental Conditions"
The professed objective to manage forest ecosystems in a sustainable and sound manner receives increased attention in the light of effects caused by changing climatic conditions. Important prerequisite and requirements in this context focus on a detailed understanding of processes and interactions in forest ecosystems. However, to this date very little seems to be known about the truly complex response of insect populations in forests on climatic changes and rigorous weather events. After all the question remains on how those responses in our forests can be extrapolated and transformed into future scenarios, and what natural processes are involved to foster the stability and resilience of forest habitats.
The workshop will be organized in Eberswalde, Germany,
10-11th June 2010
Topical sessions:
The Forestry Competence Center Research Institute (LFE) of the state of Brandenburg, Eberswalde, in cooperation with The International Expert Group on Forest Disturbances "Fordis", as well as the "IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science" (Electronic Journals) is pleased to invite all interested colleagues and students to attend the workshop.
