US-IALE Special Symposium
The US Regional Association of the International Association for Landscape Ecology (US-IALE) fosters landscape ecology in the United States, providing a link among practitioners in landscape ecology in the US and the international community, and promoting interdisciplinary research and communication among scientists, planners, and other professionals concerned with landscape ecology.
Several EFETAC scientists and collaborators participated in a special symposium, "Climate Change--Impacts and Effects on Vegetation," on April 4 as part of the US-IALE Annual Symposium held in Portland, OR, April 3-7. The objective of the special symposium was to showcase the latest results regarding the projected effects of climatic changes on future vegetation, and the implications of those changes. Emphasis was placed on practical assessment and management. Visit the US-IALE Symposium Web site for details.
