We are requesting that all presenters (talks and posters) provide a manuscript for the Workshop Proceedings. We are offering three options for doing this—1. Full-length Paper, 2. Extended Abstract, and 3. Meeting Abstract. 

• We have extended the initial manuscript due date from October 31 to December 15, 2018. We will be requesting that you submit your abstract via this link: https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_71xs1Tife2YsAHr
• Formatting instructions for these three options are provided here. For Meeting Abstract submissions, please consider revising your original if needed, to provide a take home message or conclusion instead of just making a statement such as “we will discuss our current results”. 
• For all options, we ask that you have your manuscript reviewed by at least two peers before submitting it and provide the reviewers’ names upon submission.  Additional peer-review may be provided through the editors, as indicated in the instructions. The Proceedings will be published by the USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station as a General Technical Report (GTR).
