IUFRO-UNRI Urban Forestry Research

The IUFRO Urban Forestry Section has just launched an online Member Directory, that we hope will enable more effective communication among our research partners, cooperators and other urban forestry practitioners.  The Member Directory is now in beta testing, and we hope that you can assist us in reviewing it for ease of use, value and accuracy of the data.  Your name, contact information and area of interest may, or may not, be included in the directory database.  If you can, we ask that you go to the online directory and search for your name and information, and check it for accuracy.

You can access the Member Directory at http://www.itreetools.org/iufro/

Official approval has been granted by the Elsevier journal Environmental Research (www.journals.elsevier.com/environmental-research/) to publish a Special Issue on the topic: The Provision of Ecosystem Services in Response to Global Change (guest-editors: Raffaele Lafortezza & Jiquan Chen).

The aim of the special issue is to involve authors of original research, reviews, and synthesis studies. These potential authors will contribute to the special issue by illustrating general theories and methods, generating and analyzing natural and social datasets, developing integrated modeling techniques, and presenting state-of-the-art research results. We believe that this focus issue will play a critical role in improving our understanding of current knowledge, research gaps, and future research needs for ecosystem services provision in response to global change.

The full manuscript submission deadline is February 28, 2015. A guest editorial committee will work with the ER handling editors on the review process.
