In chronological order, most recent first:

• The Forests Dialogue. 2016. Field dialogue on tree plantations in the landscape (TPL) in Chile. Compilation of stakeholder opinions on the definition of forest and tree plantations, and associated data and reporting issues. 31 May-3 June 2016, Temuco, Chile. 
• Domestication of Radiata Pine.  2016. An expert team composed of Dr Rowland Burdon of Scion (New Zealand Forest Research Institute Ltd); William J Libby, Professor Emeritus of Forestry and Genetics, University of California, Berkeley; and Alan G Brown, formerly Chief of CSIRO Division of Forestry, Canberra have been working over a number of years on a book covering the history and development of radiata pine as an important softwood species for multi-purpose industrial use. A draft of this book is posted on the  website http://www.kriss.net/radiatapinedomestication/ as open-access and available for printing, in the form of a series of .pdf files. The team of authors would highly appreciate receiving qualified feed-back from interested parties in order to amend their work
