The Fire in Eastern Oak Forests Conference is an important conference focused on fire science and management in oak forests, woodlands, and savannas where noted experts in research and management gather to present state-of-the-art information, perspectives, and syntheses on key issues. This conference will emphasize topics relevant to management of oak-dominated forests, woodlands, and savannas and will be of interest to managers, scientists, landowners, consultants, and students.
Especially tailored to land managers and applications, this conference will feature invited presentations, open poster and flash talks sessions, management focused interactive sessions, exhibits, and professional networking opportunities. The schedule will include a day of speakers and panel discussions, a field trip day, followed by a final day of speakers and special sessions. Continuing education credits will be offered through the Society of American Foresters and The Wildlife Society.
Call for research and management posters and flash talks
We anticipate inviting poster and flash-talk (5 min.) presentation submissions on any aspect of fire in eastern North American oak ecosystems. Research posters or flash talks may relate to any aspect of fire science such as fire regimes, fire effects, fuels, GIS/remote sensing, hydrology, soils, wildlife, or human dimensions. Management posters or flash talks may highlight specific fire-related projects and / or programs.
