Color profile: Disabled Composite 150 lpi at 45 degrees IUFRO Research Series IUFRO Research Series The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), with its 14,000 scientists from 700 member institutions in over 100 countries, is organized into nearly 300 research units that annually hold approximately 80 conferences, workshops and other meetings. The individual papers, pro- ceedings and other material arising from these units and meetings are often published but in a wide array of different journals and other publications. The object of the IUFRO Research Series is to offer a single, uniform outlet for high- quality publications arising from major IUFRO meetings and other products of IUFRO’s research units. The editing, publishing and dissemination experience of CABI Publishing and the huge spread of scientific endeavours of IUFRO combine here to make information widely available that is of value to policy makers, resource managers, peer scientists and educators. The Board of IUFRO forms the Editorial Advisory Board for the series and provides the monitoring and uniformity that such a high-quality series requires in addition to the editorial work of the conference organizers. While adding a new body of information to the plethora currently dealing with forestry and related resources, this series seeks to provide a single, uniform forum and style that all forest scientists will turn to first as an outlet for their conference material and other products, and that the users of information will also see as a reliable and reputable source. Although the official languages of IUFRO include English, French, German and Spanish, the majority of modern scientific papers are published in English. In this series, all books will be published in English as the main language, allowing papers occasionally to be in other languages. Guidelines for submit- ting and publishing material in this series are available from the Publisher, Books and Reference Works, CABI Publishing, CAB International, Wallingford, Oxfordshire OX10 8DE, UK, and the IUFRO Secretariat, Hauptstrasse 7, A-1140 Vienna – Hadersorf, Austria. 1 Z:\Customer\CABI\A4691 - Honnay\A4746 - Honnay - Vouchers VP10 #E.vp Monday, February 16, 2004 2:06:26 PM Color profile: Disabled Composite 150 lpi at 45 degrees ii IUFRO Research Series IUFRO Board: President and Senior Officers: Ladislav Paule, Zvolen, Slovakia Risto Seppälä, Helsinki, Finland (President) Kazuo Suzuki, Tokyo, Japan Don Koo Lee, Seoul, Republic of Korea (Vice Klaus von Gadow, Goettingen, Germany President) Hsiu Hwa Wang, Pingtung, China – Eric Teissier du Cros, Avignon, France (Vice Taipei President) Jeffery Burley, Oxford, UK (Immediate Past General Board Members: President) Susan Conard, Washington, DC, USA Mario Broggi, Birmensdorf, Switzerland Ruben Guevara, Lima, Peru (Finance Officer) Vitor Afonso Hoeflich, Curitiba, Brazil Peter Mayer, Vienna, Austria John Innes, Vancouver, BC, Canada (Executive Secretary) Iba Kone, Nairobi, Kenya Gordon Miller, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Division Coordinators: Abdul Razak, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Dennis Dykstra, Portland, Oregon, USA Victor Teplyakov, Moscow, Russia Alain Franc, Paris, France Karel Vancura, Prague, Czech Republic Niels Elers Koch, Hoersholm, Denmark Yaoguo Xiong, Beijing, China John Parrotta, Washington, DC, USA IUFRO Research Series Titles available: 1.
