CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS:/* */ /* */*/Carbon in Northern Forests: Integration of Research and Management/* June 24-25, 2008 at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, 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.
The abstract submission deadline has been extended to MAY 19, 2008. Presenters will have the opportunity to submit manuscripts for a special issue of the journal */Forest/**/ Science/*.
Additional information, including a list of confirmed speakers, abstract submission details, and a preliminary agenda are available online at the conference website: *www.forest.mtu.edu/cinf*
