Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce a "Workshop on the Science and Management of Ash Forests after Emerald Ash Borer", to be held in Duluth, MN, USA, 25 - 27 July, 2017. https://ashworkshop.org/
The registration is now open at https://ashworkshop.org/registration/ Registration Deadline: 31 May 2017 The workshop will focus on the effects of emerald ash borer on ash forests, including ecological effects and management activities used to address the post-invasion of emerald ash borer. Our intent is to discuss the state of the science and management and to strengthen networking and collaborations across forest management and research on the following and other related topics: • Ecological effects • Silvicultural practices • Effects on hydrology and soils • Management, mitigation, or adaptation • Effects on other forest uses • Ecosystem processes and stores, including carbon and nutrient cycling We have also arranged for a special issue of Forests focused on the effects of emerald ash borer on ash forests, and invite you to submit a manuscript by 31 December 2017. Submissions can be made via: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/forests/special_issues/EAB We are looking forward to seeing you in Duluth. Best regards, Dr. Randy K.
