Last week, the XXV IUFRO World Congress took place in Curitiba, Brazil.

One highlight was the very successful session on “Long-Term Forest Monitoring Networks for Evaluating Responses to Environmental Change” organised and chaired by the ICP Forests Scientific Committee chair Marcus Schaub, co-chair Lars Vesterdal, EANET partner Hiroyuki Sase and ICP Forests chair Marco Ferretti. In addition, several oral and poster presentations were presented by members of the ICP Forests community representing the broad range of research activities in the programm.

Thank you to all presenters, organisers and authors!

Together with 30 participants from 16 countries we had a successful meeting of the heads of the labs in Brasov/Romania from 5^th till 6^th of September 2019! The meeting was very well organized by Dora Lucaci and her team. We discussed the results of the last ring tests (water, foliage and soil). Limits for heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in water samples were fixed and water ringtest will be performed annually. The future of aqua regia digestion from soil samples with microwave, mercury deposition samplers and determination of mercury in these samples were presented and discussed. Three presentations about phosphorous and phosphorous fractions in soil were given. The final version of the ICP-Forests Manual update was presented and the verification of the submitted data from the LQA file was started. The next meeting will take place in Birmensdorf/Switzerland in September 2021.…
