IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Group International Conference, 2-12 November, 2012 – Concepción, ChileCourse 5: Morphometric and watershed vegetation description assisted by LiDAR technology.Speakers: Dr. David González Lanteri, Dr. Andrea Andreoli Brasca and Carlos Jorquera Stuardo,Universidad de Concepción. Chile.This course aims at developing skills to generate morphometric descriptions of the watershed andvegetation using terrestrial LiDAR data and aerial photographs, aided by ArcMap program. The course istaught in two days of 8 hours each in a specialized laboratory. Each user will have access to a properlyequipped computer with all programs and data requirements. The course instructor will provide at thebeginning of the course, a folder with the specific course content and the data files in CD, in this wayeach user will have the background to develop the practical activities of the course, and also to replicatethe procedures latter on, when the course has finished.Course 6: Dinamica EGO applied to landscape dynamics modeling.Speakers: M.Sc. Letícia Santos de Lima and Dr. Britaldo Soares Filho, Universidade Federal de MinasGerais, Brazil.Dinamica EGO has increasingly drawn the attention of many scholars worldwide, who have applied thisfreeware to various modeling studies (www.csr.ufmg.br/dinamica). The course aims to introduce thepotential of Dinamica EGO freeware modeling platform for environmental studies, focusing on landscapedynamics. Dinamica EGO provides a complete set of tools to develop landscape dynamics modeling, fromanalysis of landscape structure to the simulation of spatial patterns of change and model validation. Bysimply dragging and connecting data operators in a model diagram, its friendly graphical interface allowsfor the design from the very simple static spatial model to very complex ones, which can ultimatelyinvolve nested iterations, multi-transitions, dynamic feedbacks, and multi-region and scale approaches.
IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Group International Conference, 2-12 November, 2012 – Concepción, ChileConference Field TripsThere will be simultaneous field trips in the conference. Buses will leave from the main gate of theSonesta Hotel according to the following program:Field trip 1: Management of Nothofagus forests and forest plantations in the Pre-Andean zone ofNevados de ChillánGuide: Dr. Fernando Muñoz and Dr. Francis Dube (Universidad de Concepción, Chile.)Departure: 8:15 hrs; Return: 20:00 hrs.This is a 2.5-hour trip from the Coastal Range to the Andes Range, passing by the Central Valley in theBio-Bio Region. From Concepción city, you will travel through a large matrix of forestry plantations toarrive at the Central Valley. Then you will travel to the pre-Andean zone where you can observe theNevados de Chillán, a chain of mountains located in the heart of the Andes Range. We will visit managedand unmanaged secondary forests of Nothofagus forests located along an elevation gradient. Also, youwill visit a managed forest plantation of exotic species owned by one of the largest forest companies inChile.Field trip 2: National Reserve Nonguén: conserving and restoring forest ecosystems and their servicesGuide: Dr. Burkhard Müller-Using and Dr. Andrea Andreoli (Universidad de Concepción, Chile).Departure: 8:30 hrs; Return: 18:00 hrs.A 30-min trip to the recently created protected area “National Reserve Nonguén”. This 3,000 ha Reserveis characterized by possessing one of the last natural forests surrounded by a matrix of forestryplantations and housings. The Reserve provides different ecosystem services such as water supply,timber, erosion control, and recreation. The Reserve contains pristine areas of old-growthforest, Nothofagus secondary forest, and forest plantations of exotic species. Initiatives of restorationbetween local scientists and the Forest Service (CONAF) have been recently established in the Reserveunder the approach of Forest Landscape Restoration, and a hydrometeorological network survey hasbeen established to assess the importance of natural forests in regulate water supply. One of the keyecosystem services provided by the Reserve is the provision of water to various towns of themetropolitan area.Field trip 3: Meeting the millenarian Araucaria forestGuides: Dr. Eduardo Peña and Dr. Anibal Pauchard (Universidad de Concepción, Chile).Departure: 8:00 hrs; Return: 20:00 hrs.A 3-hour trip from Concepción to the National Park Nahuelbuta (nahuel= tiger, buta=big in indigenousMapuche language), located in the Araucania Region of Chile’s Coastal Mountain Range. The park is asanctuary for Araucaria araucana (monkey puzzle trees), with specimens dating back 2,000 years. Thetrip will finish at the Piedra del Aguila (1,379 m a.s.l.) This place offers a terrific view of the park’sexuberant and pristine natural wonders, the immensity of the Pacific Ocean to the west, and animpressive chain of Andean volcanoes to the east. The park also provides habitat for the Mountain lion(puma), the pudu deer, Darwin’s fox, and the Magellanic woodpecker, among other species. The areasurrounding the park has been heavily transformed to forestry plantations and agricultural land. Thelandscape thus contains a biogeographic island immersed in a sea of human-induced land uses.Field trip 4: High conservation value forests on the Nahuelbuta Coastal RangeGuides: Dr. Pablo Ramírez de Arellano (BIOFOREST).Departure: 8:45 hrs; Return: 20:00 hrs.
