The Morton Arboretum and the International Society of Arboriculture present the third Landscape Below Ground conference October 6-8, 2008 in Lisle, Illinois.
The conference will provide a forum for scientists and professionals in academia, industry
and government throughout the world to present their latest research findings and management
practices in all aspects of tree root development
in urban soils. Like the two preceding conferences, it is anticipated that this event will foster closer cooperation between disciplines and geographic areas.
The program committee is still accepting poster proposals until
all spaces are filled. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Urban soils (physical properties, nutrient availability, biological activity)
- Root biology
- Root structure and stability
- Coping with limited root spaces
- Effect of nursery production practices on root systems
- Planting practices
- Construction damage/preservation
- Infrastructure conflicts and solutions
Proposals will be evaluated based on overall quality, appropriateness
and timeliness of topic, well-defined focus, and practical applications of material.
Authors will be notified within two weeks of submission.
All presenters will be required to submit a manuscript for the proceedings,
to be published by the International Society of Arboriculture. Manuscripts will be due
on the first day of the conference.
Proposals must be submitted on-line.
