25 General conclusions.. About the working group We need to improve the participation of others European countries (Spain for cork oak; North European countries for other oak species) We need to consolidate the participation of other countries that already participated in the group (Iran) We need to maintain the involvement of students and young scientists from the North African countries We need to get more research institutions as IOBC institutional members (after this meeting the Algerian forest research institutions leaders will discuss about this)

26 General conclusions.. About the meetings We need to maintain in the next meetings the introduction of each session by a general presentation (was very good to present the state of the art and to identify gaps of knowledge) We need to have more time to the session workshops (Very important because permit people to discuss, to identify gaps and to define strategies to work together) We need to maintain the real improvement of the communications contents already get in this meeting 22 st November 23 st November 24 st November 25 st November M o r n i n g Working group presentation Oak forest health status Bioecology and impact of insect pests Fiel trip Regeneration, acorn conservation and afforestation Thematic workshops A f t e r n o o n Bioecology and impact of pathogenic fungi Forest management Thematic workshops Final session

27 General conclusions.. About the research work We need reduce the gaps already detected Difficulties on the global evaluations of the sanitary condition of the forest

28 General conclusions.. About the research work We need reduce the gaps already detected Difficulties on the global evaluations of the sanitary condition of the forest Precise the factors associated with oak decline in each country

29 General conclusions.. About the research work We need reduce the gaps already detected Difficulties on the global evaluations of the sanitary condition of the forest Precise the factors associated with oak decline in each country Identify control methods for specific biotic agents and improve forest management techniques to restore the healthy status of oak stands

30 General conclusions.. About the research work We need reduce the gaps already detected Improve bilateral cooperating activities performed between various countries Plan workshops on priority topics for young scientists Improve knowledge on oak pathogenic fungi and standardize methodologies to decline evaluation Preparation of IOBC guidelines in Oak Forest Integrated Protection Establish multidisciplinary pilot sites to test the methods of decline evaluation and integrated protection as well as preventive and preservative measures

31 Thank you Next meeting scheduled in October 2010 in Sardinia (Tempio Pausania) Italy
