This Issue: */Nutrient Outflows from Eucalyptus/***and Some Other Good 
Things

** *NUTRIENT OUTFLOWS FROM EUCALYPTUS -- *Last month**Hem Raj 
Bist**wrote, "/I need to //calculate nutrient outflows from Eucalyptus 
camaldulensis. In need to know: //1) dry wt and wet weight ratio ( 
moisture content) of bark of E. camaldulensis or how much green bark 
reduces in terms of weight when oven dried: 2) density of green bark: 
i.e ....Kg/cu. m. (wt/vol); 3) wet weight to dry weight ratio of wood of 
E. camaldulensis. Density I know, but wt reduction % when green wood 
(wt) is oven dried. Also for leaf ( I have my own estimation though); 
4). Accurate biomass and volume equaiton (allometric equation suitable 
for Nepal) for E. camaldulensis and teak (one by TISC in Nepal has 
limited coverage in dbh)."/Here are some sites that may be of interest.

19-22 October 2011*. Rediscovering Wood, the Key to a Sustainable 
Future.* Bangalore, India, As part of the International Year of Forests, 
the Government of India, in collaboration with FAO, IUFRO and the IWCS 
is holding an international conference about the future of wood 
products. Already, over 200 participants have registered for this event 
and the programme includes 35 invited speakers, 60 voluntary papers and 
posters and a number of exhibitors and artisans from all over the World 
who will come and demonstrate their expertise in traditional and 
sustainable use of wood products. The wide-ranging programme will 
include sessions on: - green building and architecture - designing with 
wood - wood culture - SME development - wood product marketing - 
sustainability of wood supply. Registration is open until 19th 
September, although places at the conference are filling-up fast. A 
small number of exhibition booths and sponsorship opportunities are also 
still available. Further details about the conference (and online 
registration) can be found at: www.artjoywood.org

*Graduate job opportunity -- Forest Research, Aberystwyth, Wales 
-*Forest Research is the Research Agency of the GB Forestry Commission. 
It carries out research in a number of areas related to forests and 
woodlands (see www.forestry.gov.uk/forestresearch). Forest Research is 
seeking to recruit a research assistant (modeller) to work on a European 
Union project, funded through Framework Programme 7, under the acronym 
REPHRAME (Research Extending Plant Health Risk and Monitoring 
Evaluation). The REPHRAME project involves 11 partners in 8 countries 
carrying out in-depth research on the problems posed by pine wood 
nematode (PWN) within Europe. The successful applicant will work with a 
small team, based at the Forestry Commission's Forest Research Unit in 
Aberystwyth, Wales, to develop models to predict the likelihood of trees 
being killed by the nematode pest. Full details of this 3-year 
fixed-term post are available by following the relevant link from: 
www.forestry.gov.uk/vacancies <http://www.forestry.gov.uk/vacancies>. 
The closing date for the receipt of applications is 25th August 2011. 
Please note that the position is only open to applicants who have the 
right to reside and work in the UK. From Tom Jenkins via Foresters List.
