ISFOR 2017 International Symposium on New Horizons in Forestry
18-20 October 2017
International Symposium on New Horizons in Forestry-ISFOR 2017 has been successfully completed. We would like to thank all participants, sponsors, and everybody who have worked hard. Proceedings & Abstracts Book will be published as soon as possible. Photos of the symposium can be found at the link below.
Natural resources such as forest ecosystems offer many functions. Apart from the production of wood and non-wood products, forest ecosystem function is significant in regards to; climate regulation and carbon sequestration; biodiversity, water and soil conservation; rural development; urban life support; community health and the protection of cultural values etc.
The symposium aims to provide a platform for the exchange of interdisciplinary scientific information, as well as offering an open forum for the discussion on the issues related to forestry, in light of new developments. The symposium will have a global focus with the intent of identifying new avenues of research leading to an advancement in research technologies for the benefit of forests, forestry and forest product industry.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Isparta in October 2017.
