About the Joint Workshop
We are pleased to inform you that the Experimental Forest of National Taiwan University (NTU) will host the 3rd Workshop on Long-term Monitoring and Data Analysis of Forest Resources and Environment, which will be held at National Taiwan University, Nantou, Taiwan on June 25-28, 2018. The Workshop is jointly organized by the University of Tokyo Forests (UTF) under the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Core-to-Core Program (B. Asia-Africa Science Platforms) “Developing a network of long-term research field stations to monitor environmental changes and ecosystem responses in Asian forests”. It includes two-day workshop and two-day field excursion.

Date

General Information
Forest ecosystem plays an important role in climate change mitigation, CO2 fixation, wildlife habitat reserve, wood material supply, hydrological regulation which in turn improves human well-being. The conceptual framework of forest ecosystem services is providing a multitude of benefits that contributes to making human life possible. Recently the way of humans interacting with the natural environment has become an emerging issue in the study of ecosystem services. The research themes of joint workshop particularly focus on ecosystem services in forest including forest resources management from supporting, provisioning and regulating perspectives. The joint workshop provides an opportunity to communicate with the scholars from Asian countries. Additionally, the event serves as a platform of interaction and cooperation among the experimental forests in Asia regarding to forest ecosystem services study.
