2nd CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
Carbon in Northern Forests: Integration of Research and Management
June 10-11, 2009
Hagerty Center in Traverse City, Michigan
This goal of this conference is to explore the breadth of forest carbon
science in the Lake States and Northeast regions and provide an opportunity
for scientists to: (1) share and discuss research on carbon pools and
cycling in temperate and boreal forests; (2) identify research needs in
forest carbon science given natural and human disturbances and
environmental change; and (3) highlight potential effects of management on
carbon dynamics and suggest methods to increase carbon stored in forests
and wood products.
Focus areas include:
- Forest Carbon Cycle Science
- Disturbance Effects on Forest Carbon Pools
- Management Interaction with Forest Carbon Pools
- Carbon as an Ecosystem Service
- Bioenergy for Carbon Mitigation
Abstracts for oral and poster presentations will be accepted until April 3,
2009. Additionally, presenters will have the opportunity to submit
manuscripts for a special issue of the journal FOREST SCIENCE.
