After the successful 6th Meeting of the IUFRO Working Party 7-02-09 in Cordoba, España, we are glad to invite you to the 7th Meeting on "Phytophthora in Forests and Natural Ecosystems" to be held in Esquel (Patagonia, Argentina), from November 10th to 14th, 2014. The meeting is organized by Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia (UNPSJB) and Centro de Investigación y Extensión Forestal Andino Patagónico (CIEFAP).
This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet dear colleagues, contact other scientists, learn about their work, and share your scientific accomplishments.
The activities will take place in Melipal Center, and there will be a field trip to Futaleufú River Valley and "Los Alerces" National Park. This will allow us to see the symptoms of the main Phytophthora-caused forest disease in Patagonia (Austrocedrus root disease) in individual trees, and the impact of the disease at a landscape level. It will also include a visit to Nothofagus forests as well as a tour through some of the beautiful places in the National Park.
In Pre and Post-Congress field trips several areas in Patagonia will be visited in order to observe different disease situations caused by Phytophthora austrocedrae, as well as Nothofagus forests, Valdivian rainforests and magnificent Patagonian landscapes.
To participate of this event, you can register and submit your abstract from September 1st, 2013.
For additional information about our region, accommodation, field trips, pre and post congress trips, registration fees and abstract submission, please visit our web page: www.iufrophytophthora2014.org.
We look forward to seeing you in Patagonia.

Abstract submission deadline: April 30
