Cyclones are becoming stronger and bigger because of global warming. This will impact trees in natural and anthropogenic systems. The webinar will bring together experts from a wide range of fields to introduce cyclone impacts on trees in agroforestry, forestry and natural forests. Discussions will focus on the likely impacts of more intense cyclones and how to manage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
