New Frontiers in Forecasting Forests
New Frontiers in Forecasting Forests will be an international conference to benchmark the state-of-the-art, identify emerging frontiers and explore new innovations and technologies in models predicting future forest growth, yield and wood properties. An important objective of the meeting is to explore and discuss how new frontiers in forest modelling research can be implemented to empower decision makers and deliver impact, particularly in the context of changing international climate and market conditions. The conference is being organised around five main themes: Understanding and evaluating uncertainties in models predicting future growth, yield and wood properties
The nexus between models of tree growth, wood formation and product properties
Model application, integration and accessibility for forest management, planning and product development
The cutting edge in process-based and statistical approaches: how we will model future forest attributes in the 3rd millennium
Leveraging big data and high technology in forest models
