To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Faculty of Forestry at Artvin Coruh University, “International Caucasian Forestry Symposium” will be held in Artvin, Turkey. Located on the southwestern corner of the Caucasus Region, Faculty of Forestry at Artvin Coruh University has been a vibrant hub of scientific research and exchange, contributing significantly to natural resources management in the region. It is believed that such an event will help to summarize past achievements and open new horizons for scientific research and multinational collaboration among the nations in the region.
Among the other forest services the need of clean water for human use is dramatically increasing as the population of the world is increasing. The sustainable forest management is of the vital importance for the richness of biodiversity, the protection from soil erosion and desertification, the continuous supply of fresh water, and the prevention from floods.
The purpose of the symposium is to discuss the sustainable forest management practices with respect to forest ecology, soil erosion and water pollution, plant and animal diversity, climate change, wood science and technology, landscape architecture and urban design issues at a scientific setting with scientist, experts and practitioners from universities, institutes, government agencies, and relevant shareholders from various regions of the World.
All written content of abstracts, papers, posters and presentations should be in English. Presenters can opt to present their oral presentations in Turkish, Georgian or English provided that all visual aids used in the presentation are in English. Translation between English, Turkish and Georgian will be provided for question and answer session at the end of each presentation.
