Dear ESP community,
A workshop on multi-species natural forests will be held in Artvin (Turkey) between 3-13 May 2018 with the participation of Prof. Klaus v. Gadow along with many others. This workshop will be a great opportunity for both researchers and field practitioners to discuss various inventory techniques in designing forest ecosystems. A number of site visits will take place to forest observational studies and mensuration in different sampling plots. Field data will also be analyzed using R software in the forestry laboratory of Artvin Coruh University. Expected presentation topics are:
- forest structure and diversity;
- forest observational studies;
- tree modeling;
- concentric plot design.
An excursion to Sumela, which is a Greek orthodox monastery in Trabzon, will also be carried out.
Klaus v. Gadow is an Extraordinary Professor at the University of Stellenbosch/South Africa, an adjunct Professor at the Beijing Forestry University and a retired Professor of Forestry at the Georg-August-University in Göttingen/Germany. He continues to be active in research and teaching. His special research interests are forest observational studies, tree modelling and forest design.
