Call for Papers
This workshop will feature oral and poster presentations that focus on the broad role that certified forest products, life cycle assessment and sustainably managed forests play in improving the lives of people through economic, ecological and social benefits of forests. Oral presentations will provide a forum for researchers and forest owners and managers who are interested in forest certification, life cycle analysis (LCA), economic contribution of forest products, ecosystem services and markets and sustainable forestry. Presenters are encouraged to submit studies or examples of research on: 1) forest products certification, 2) ecosystem services and markets, 3) life cycle analysis, or 4) sustainable forest management and certified forestry.
