Biology’s Jack Putz and Claudia Romero organized a Systematic Reviews of Forestry & Landscapes Management Workshop in collaboration with the Florida Climate Institute and the REDD+ Forest Policy & Economics Working Group. The workshop’s goals were to use a hands-on approach, participants will be guided through the stages of preparing a systematic review to support policy questions for which evidence is required. Twenty people from ten different countries participated, with a spread of disciplinary and research interests. The keynote speaker was Gillian Petrokofsky from Oxford University’s Biodiversity Institute. Thank you, Jack and Claudia, for providing this wonderfully international workshop!
