Resumo(s)
We, the local hosts, welcome you to the biannual IUFRO Landscape Ecology working Group International Conference, in Bragança, Portugal, from 21 to 27 of September. We welcome you also to the city of Bragança and to the Instituto Politécnico de Bragança, Portugal.
This 2010 conference, organized by the IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Group (8.01.02), the Mountain Research Centre (CIMO), and the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB) is dedicated to the theme Forest Landscapes and Global Change ‐ New Frontiers in Management, Conservation and Restoration.
The conference will be attended by more than 300 participants from 46 countries. Most are from Europe (62%), followed by North, Central and South America (28%), Asia (7%), Africa (3%) and Oceania (1%).
The 2010 IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Group International Conference witnesses the global growth of scientific interest in forest landscape patterns and processes, and the recognition of the role of landscape ecology in the advancement of science and management.
This conference offers a venue to explore the challenges faced by scientists and practitioners by broadening the context of landscape ecology to emerging physical, social and political drivers of change, which strongly and rapidly influence forest systems and their services. During this conference, we address these topics via 300 presentations: in three keynote addresses, 12 symposia, 18 oral sessions, and two poster sessions.
For the organizing committee, CIMO and the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança putting together a conference of such magnitude in Bragança was an enormous challenge, and we hope that our response was successful. Above all, it is a great privilege for us to host this outstanding group of scientists, to contribute to the development of landscape ecology, and to foster a debate on real issues that influence not just landscape ecology but the society at large.
In this context, we thank you very much for your participation in this conference and your contribution to the advancement of research and applications in landscape ecology. Finally, we hope you enjoy your time with us in Bragança, in the Polytechnic Institute and in our Research Centre.
