Working Group Report: 2004
The 5th International Conference on Disturbance Dynamics in Boreal Forests was held in Russia
(Dubna, Moscow region, 1-5 August, 2004). All types of disturbances and their ecological effects in
boreal forests were discussed (logging, wind throw, pest outbreaks, fire, herbivory and other types), and the meeting was attended by a wide range of forest ecologists, vegetation scientists, forest managers, and governmental and non-governmental organizations interested in forest management and nature conservation issues.
