International Conference: Non-native tree species for European forests (2018-09-12/14, Vienna)
An international conference entitled ‘Non-native tree species for European forests’ will take place between 12th – 14th September in Vienna. The management of tree species non-native to European geographical regions has a long tradition within forestry management practice. Their introduction to Europe (initially focussed on growing tree species) dates back to the 18th century when enormous demands were being made on natural resources to sustain the on-going industrialization of Europe. Today, issues of biomass production and carbon sequestration as well as the question of whether these species could increase the adaptive capacity of forests to long-term climate change patterns have fuelled a growing interest in non-native tree species in Europe.
