会议背景介绍：
Management of vegetation that competes with desired forest species has evolved since the first IUFRO conference in 1992. We are faced with changing climates while demands from users of forests for a greater range of ecosystem services and for greater involvement in forest management are expanding. While herbicides are still important tools in many parts of the world, in other places they have been restricted. It is timely therefore, to take stock and ask questions such as:
What advances in management of competing vegetation are required in order to meet new demands on forests and on forest management?
What are the short-term and long-term effects of vegetation management treatments on biodiversity, habitat and crop yields?
What changes are evident in species composition and competition in a changing climate, and what are the consequences for management of competing vegetation?
How can we manage invasive species in forests?
Can models, decision support and geospatial tools help us to make better decisions about when and how to control competing vegetation in the face of these changes? |
