This
Research Group provides support for forest scientists and others
interested in the silviculture, genetics, ecology and management
of beech forests. The Research Group will give high priority to
informal meetings and excursions, which involves researchers,
managers and other end-users in order to focus and communicate
on research aims and methods in the context of management needs
and challenges related to Fagus.
We hope to create frequent opportunities for
researchers and managers to meet and exchange scientific and
practical knowledge that have been accumulated separately in
Europe, Asia and North America. We also hope that our cooperation
will serve as inspiration for students to identify interesting
topics to study and interesting advisers to contact in many
countries.
Scientific meetings including field excursions
will take place in various parts of the Fagus range. We intend
to create a homepage, which includes generously illustrated
abstracts of ongoing research & development among our RG-members.
We will encourage researchers, students and managers to contribute
to our web page with such information. It is not our goal to
build long lists of literature and project descriptions – such
information is available in many other databases and libraries.
Here we want to create an easy accessible overview of ongoing
research and development – links to more thorough information
and literature are of course welcome.
Please, feel free to comment on the structure
and the issues we have highlighted at this web page. The structure
and content will develop and change depending on the input we
get.
