Paths to meet current soil and water conservation needs look very different from the solutions that galvanized action after the Dust Bowl, and they will continue to evolve.

Wageningen Soil Conference 2019

Wageningen University & Research is delighted to invite you to join us at the fourth edition of the Wageningen Soil Conference. As in previous editions, the aim is to discuss the importance of soils. In the 2019 edition, the focus will be on “Understanding soil functions: from ped to planet”. To do this we will adopt a new style of conference, with traditional conference talks in the mornings, followed by a range of scientific and interactive topic workshops in the afternoons. 

Temperate and Boreal Primeval Forests in the Face of Global Change

The goal of this conference is to bring together the global community of scientists working on the ecology and dynamics of temperate and boreal primeval forests, and their interaction with local people. The participants are offered the opportunity to present their current research and to discuss how global change might affect temperate and boreal primeval forests. Apart from contributions on primeval forests, we also welcome those dealing with formerly managed forests which are protected as forest reserves and on the pathway to become primeval forests again. We also encourage to submit contributions dealing with effects of the surrounding forests on primeval forests and their relation to societal needs. Ukraine is a particularly suitable place for this conference since it still harbors large primeval forest remnants.

OR 3S Summer Field Trip

NWFSC is coordinating with OR Society of Soil Scientists for the 2019 Summer Field Tour.  The topics are all post-fire related and on "really cool serpentine soils."  Two nights camping are included for those who don't want to travel Friday night.  Dates are tentative until campsites are reserved.

Forest Research and Cooperation for Sustainable Development

Brazil will have the honor of hosting the 25th IUFRO World Congress in 2019 in Curitiba, Paraná. This is the first time this congress will be held in Latin America; as such, it offers a unique opportunity for researchers from the region to show the importance of forestry research in promoting sustainable development.

Eurosoil 2020

Eurosoil 2020 objective is to bring together leading research scientists working on soil related topics and stakeholders dealing with issues of public concern such as soil degradation and consequences of climatic changes. The important bridging role of soil practitioners to translate scientific knowledge into practice will be emphasized.
