OOS 30 - Building Epistemological Bridges: Indigenous
Knowledge-Holders and Western Ecologists Seek to
Resolve Philosophical Impasses and Find Common
Ground for Collaborative Research In Cross-Cultural
Dialogue
A107, Oregon Convention Center
Organized by: D Martinez (iprn@snowcrest.net), T Chapin
Moderator: RL Trosper
This cross-cultural dialogue between Indigenous knowledgeholders
and Western ecologists will probe some common Western
assumptions about Indigenous cultures and their place in nature,
with the aim of clarifying differences while emphasizing areas of
complementarity in possible future collaborative research projects.

OOS 31 - Global Comparisons In Forest Dynamics:
Results From Permanent Plots
B110, Oregon Convention Center
Organized by: J Lutz (jlutz@u.washington.edu), AJ Larson
Moderator: J Lutz
The Smithsonian worldwide permanent plot network allows novel
comparisons of dynamics across ecosystems. This session
emphasizes comparative studies that elucidate commonalities
and associated ecological principles with broad generality,
and conversely, that reveal divergent or individualistic patterns
among sites, suggesting a hierarchal structure to the underlying
mechanisms that regulate forest dynamics.
