The Congress
The group of landscape ecology belonging to
IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research
Organizations) (IUFRO 8.01.02 Working Party on
Forest Landscape Ecology) (Unit 8.01.02) and IALE
(International Association of Landscape Ecology),
in conjunction with the University of La Frontera
and the Catholic University of Temuco invited to
participate at the Latin American Congress of
IUFRO Landscape Ecology and the Second Latin
American Congress of IALE to be held in the city of
Temuco (Province of Cautín, Chile) from November
28 to December 2, 2016, under the theme:
Bringing our society to the nature: conservation preserve, management and restoration of multi-functional
landscapes
The event aims to foster communication and
exchange of experiences and knowledge in
technical and scientific, methodological and
practical aspects relating to conservation,
management and restoration of natural
landscapes throughout Latin America. The
event will serve as a platform for institutions,
professionals, researchers and students interested
in landscape ecology to interact and share
experiences on current research topics, practical
experiences and policy implementation.

Thematic
areas
The growing economic development of Latin
American countries and increasing social inclusion
policies implemented generates broader impacts
on natural ecosystems. This creates new challenges
for society, where proposals for management and
conservation should be harmonized, and where
political restoration of the affected landscapes
should be prioritized in order to recover and
maximize the ecosystem services that ecosystems
provide to our present society and future. For this
and to achieve these goals for the Congress, we
have been proposed the following areas:
1. Land use, biodiversity loss and fragmentation
2. Ecosystem management: Integrating ecological and
economic models
3. Mapping and assessment of ecosystems and their services
4. Adapting to climate change in managed and natural
landscapes
5. Synergies and trade-off of plantations
6. Impact of invasive species on landscape and human wellbeing
7. Recovering biodiversity and ecosystem services through
landscape restoration
8. Social-ecological approach for ecosystem services
management

Landscape Ecologists in Latin America:
who are they and what are they doing?
The idea is to understand who is the community
of landscape ecology researchers in Latin America,
exploring their publications, international networks,
main investigated topics, theoretical approaches
and science-policy interfaces. I will use the Scopus
databank to have a portrait of this community and
to identify the main trends, gaps and opportunities
for future research for Latin America.

Refugia, alternative stable states and
historical legacies: New challenges for
the management and restoration of fireprone landscapes
Important shifts are underway in the way fire is
being conceived to shape many landscapes and
conversely how landscapes control fire regimes.
The importance of physical structures (fire refuges),
the coexistence of alternative fire resistant/ fire
prone communities as well as the role of historical
legacies that trap fire in certain regimes have
gained much interest among fire and landscape
ecologists. Using simple simulation models and the
experience from northern Patagonian landscapes
we aim discuss the challenges of fire management
and post fire restoration under such novel feedback
mechanisms.

Effects of silviculture on nutritional
ecology of forest ungulates
Silvicultural activities such as even-age
regeneration, thinning, prescribed fire and
herbicides alter the amount and nutritional quality
of understory vegetation used as forage by wild
ungulates. Using new models of nutritional carrying
capacity and hand-raised, tractable animals, we
examined the effects of forest management on
deer and elk in northwestern United States.

Seven decades of dendrochronology
in Latin-America: History, lessons and
projections
Research based on tree growth rings greatly
increased during these last years in Latin-America,
resulting in the building of a powerful net of tree
chronologies in a wide range of natural ecosystems.
This net cover large areas and ecological
conditions, and representing a unique opportunity
to understand the geographical associations among
ecosystems, as well as among species at local al
regional scales. This conference will present the
main advances and knowledge gaps of the last
seven decades of dendrochronology in LatinAmerica.

It is successful the ecological restoration? Lessons
learned from global meta-analysis
Ecological restoration reach to an unprecedented historical
goal due to the advances in scientific research, as well
as favourable national and international policy-making.
It successful depends on the proposed goals, and can be
evaluated through the restoration progress and multiple
ecological integrity indicators. Results of several metaanalysis studies developed for several ecosystem types allows
to understand the success of the ecological restoration al
global level.

Landscape ecology and the management of exotic
species
As landscapes become increasingly fragmented due to
human activities, the long term status of species becomes
increasingly dependent upon their movement ecology among
isolated habitat patches. The recognition of this fact has
been integrated into the field of conservation biology for
some time. Much of the early work incorporating a landscape
approach to conservation centered on understanding the
role of corridors in connecting habitat across the landscape.
This was mostly in the context of enhancing the long term
survival of species at risk of extinction by increasing the rate
of movement between areas of suitable habitat. However,
when the goal is to decrease the impact of exotic species,
the opposite approach, i.e., preventing movement, may
apply. With this in mind, I will discuss the potential use of
an understanding of spatial network structure as a tool for
enhancing the impact of active removal of species from a
landscape when resources are constrained.

One day field trips will be organized during the
third day of the congress, in order to visit different
localities and landscapes following the main
thematic areas proposed for the congress.
The authors will be invited to submit the full
version of the papers to elaborate Special
Issue proposals and chapters for a book. These
invitations will be based in the contents and

contributions as first author and have made ​
the registration ​payment for the event will be
offered. Quotes will be limited and the eligibility
criteria will be made according to: (i) background
of the candidate (send a brief curriculum vitae),
(ii) quality and content of their contributions
according to the topics of the conference, and (iii)
amount requested of financial aid. Those request
that solicitate a partial support of air-tickets or
bus-tickets and/or per-diem will be prioritized.
