The conference will focus on possible developments in northern forest ecosystems in a changing climate and the potential influences on forestry practices. A special emphasis is on how a changing climate may influence our choices of tree species and provenances, now and in the future.

The conference location is situated in one of the largest birch woodland and afforestation areas in Iceland. Short field trips are included in the program both conference days.

Details on registration, accommodation and transportation will be given soon at Iceland Forestry Service .
