Planning for EcoSummit 2012

An international group of twelve researchers including those from SLU, and Umeå, Oregon state, Adelaide, Yale, and Helsinki universities met in a pre-conference workshop on Norrbyskär south of Umeå. The group shared preliminary ideas for conference papers for the upcoming Ecosummit symposium 2012 in Ohio and discussed opportunities for broader collaboration.

The group has diverse research interests in the boreal forest, including global carbon stock estimation, climate change impacts, ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies as well as internalisation in boreal forest policy. The aim of the workshop, and the conference symposium in October, is to draw more attention to the boreal forest at an international level, particularly in the light of climate change, mitigation opportunities and broader discussions of sustainability.
