Araucaria (Araucaria angustifolia), also known as Paraná pine, is present in the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest, a phytophysiognomy of the Atlantic Forest biome, and is considered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to be threatened. endangered and vulnerable to global climate...

Abstracts are presented for 34 oral presentations and 83 posters from 4 sessions: forest and wood utilization; dendroclimatology; forest growth, dynamics and protection against mass movement; and wood formation and anatomy.

This paper presents the preliminary results of an inventory and dendrochronological investigation conducted at a forest reserve in the island of Vilm, Germany, presented at a workshop. The Vilm forest reserve is the initiative of the Protective Regulation 1936 and the oldest formal nature reserve...

The Coast Redwood Forests in a Changing California Science Symposium was held June 21-23, 2011 at UC Santa Cruz with just under 300 registrants in attendance. Participants ranged in background from graduate level students to university forestry faculty, land managers, and conservation groups,...

This project used dendrochronology to reconstruct the history of mountain pine beetle outbreaks over the last two centuries and to describe the relationship of outbreaks to varying climate conditions and fire history. The history of mountain pine beetle outbreaks was reconstructed from increment...

This bibliography consists of journal articles, reports, conference papers, and theses that address natural disturbance regimes in British Columbia, Canada. The emphasis is on wildfire, but wind, insects, and diseases are also included to some extent. Many entries describe general disturbance...

This publication focuses on the importance of tree species selection for nature conservation in a changing climatic scenario. Topics covered include: the suitability of tree species to a specific location; silvicultural strategies for adaptation; macroclimate-vegetation relationship; species...

Yellow-cedar has been dying across 600 miles of North Pacific coastal rain forest - from Alaska to British Columbia - since about 1880. Thirty years ago, a small group of pathologists began investigating possible biotic causes of the decline. When no biotic cause could be found, the scope broadened ...

Despite the history of mountain pine beetle outbreaks in British Columbia, including the outbreak in the mid 1980s that affected timber supply in the Quesnel Timber Supply Area, little was known about the post-mortality rate of deterioration of wood quality and quantity, and the rate of change in...

Climate warming during the past century has imposed recession of glaciers and perennial snow/ice patches along the entire Swedish Scandes. On the newly exposed forefields, subfossil wood remnants are being outwashed from beneath ice and snow bodies. In Scandinavia, this kind of detrital wood is a...
