Dear colleague ,
We invite you to take part in the conference on topical issues of forest entomology and forest pathology, which will be held on September 20-24, 2011 in Yekaterinburg on the basis of the Botanical Garden of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Ural State Forestry Engineering University.
