SUMMARY:Spain\, Zaragoza\, Course on restoration of degraded drylands and monitoring of desertification processes (co-organized by SER Europe)
DESCRIPTION:IAMZ-CIHEAM\, IUCN (Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature)\, and ICARDA (International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas)\, with the collaboration of SER Europe (European Chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration) are launching an international course on the restoration of degraded drylands and monitoring of desertification processes.\nDrylands are a key terrestrial biome\, covering 45% of Earth’s land surface and supporting over 38% of the total global population. They are highly vulnerable to global environmental change. Desertification and land degradation\, driven by increasing human pressure on land and water resources\, are the most important and pressing environmental and socio-economic issues currently faced by dryland people. The sensitivity of drylands to these problems is amplified from the fact that their primary productivity is strongly limited by precipitation and soil nutrient availability\, and both of these factors are undergoing changes associated with increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases and air pollutants. Because of the extent of dryland ecosystems globally\, and the dependence of an important part of the human population on them for goods and services\, it is crucial to establish effective programmes to monitor land degradation processes that can detect the onset of desertification and restore degraded land before degradation becomes irreversible or restoration too costly. \nDryland countries have a long history of restoration of degraded lands\, a task that traditionally has been conducted by planting trees\, whether native or not\, paying little attention to the views of the local communities and to ecosystem functioning. The last decades have seen unprecedented interest and research efforts in the development of new technologies and participative approaches to effectively restore degraded drylands. Yet\, new approaches have not been widely implemented\, despite the renewed interest in restoration actions imposed by global initiatives such as the Bonn Challenge. At the same time\, important conceptual progress has substantially advanced our understanding of desertification processes and produced new tools to monitor dryland status by means of biophysical and socio-economic indicators\, including ecosystem functioning. In parallel\, several high profile international initiatives launched in the framework of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD)\, such as the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”\, have placed concepts such as Land Degradation Neutrality and desertification at the forefront of political and environmental issues. \nThis course will present the latest scientific and technical advances in land restoration with the purpose of combating desertification; improve knowledge on how to effectively restore degraded drylands\, from project planning to the implementation and monitoring phases; and introduce available tools to monitor desertification processes. Case-studies from Mediterranean countries will be discussed\, relevant high profile international initiatives will be introduced\, and practical work will be performed by the participants to get familiar with state-of-the-art tools. \nDownload the brochure and find out more about the course.

SUMMARY:France\, Montpellier\, EcoSummit 2016\, Ecological Sustainability: Engineering Change (organized in association with SER)
DESCRIPTION:The 5th International EcoSummit Congress\, EcoSummit 2016 – Ecological Sustainability: Engineering Change\, will take place at The Corum Convention Centre\, Montpellier from 29 August – 1 September 2016. This conference series was founded in 1996 in Copenhagen\, as a forum to meet the demands of scientists working in several new ecological disciplines\, and who required a better understanding of the concepts and methods for a holistic use of ecology in environmental management. Since 1996\, EcoSummit has been taken around the world (Canada and China)\, with EcoSummit 2012 hosting 1600 participants from 75 countries in Columbus\, Ohio\, USA.EcoSummit 2016 will centre on the ecology of terrestrial ecosystems and all habitats that are integrated within those ecosystems\, including river networks\, wetlands and coastlines. Focus will be placed on fragile ecosystems that are more likely to suffer the consequences of climate change and anthropogenic pressure. However\, in the current context of an increasing world population\, changes in social habit (increasing world consumerism) and climate change\, it is evident that agriculture is being intensified but with a growing awareness of the need to preserve and use sustainably world resources. Therefore\, we will also address how terrestrial restoration can be carried out when the massive demand for food results in fragile ecosystems\, forests and marginal lands being turned over to agriculture. The central and fundamental topics of EcoSummit 2016 are as follows:\nTopics \n\nAgro-ecology\nAnthropogenic pressure\nArid lands and desertification\nBiodiversity and biological conservation\nBiological invasions\nClimate change\nDisturbance ecology\nEcohydrology\nEcological complexity\nEcological economics\nEcological engineering\nEcological indicators\nEcological intensification\nEcological modelling\nEcosystem creation and restoration\nEcosystem health\nEcosystem services\nEcotoxicology\nEnvironmental policy\nFragile ecosystems and hotspot management\nIntegrating socio-economics and ecology\nSustainability and resilience\nWatershed/River catchment management

SUMMARY:Belgium\, Antwerp\, Estuarine Restoration: from theory to practice and back
DESCRIPTION:more info: https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/conferences/estuarine-restoration/ \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to ECSA’s local meeting on ‘Estuarine restoration : from theory to practice and back’ which will be held from 5-9 July 2016 in Antwerp\, Belgium.\nScope \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor centuries\, estuaries have been impacted by habitat reclamation\, pollution\, hydrological alterations and dredging among many other human uses leading to a large loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. It is only recently that estuarine restoration became a hot topic and now many restoration projects are implemented worldwide. \nThe Schelde estuary situated in the north of Flanders and the south of the Netherlands is a typical example of this development. More than 150.000 ha of intertidal area was reclaimed over the last 1000 years and in the 20th century a large part of the estuary was anoxic for most of the year. Major waste water treatment and restoration works have taken place resulting in the improvement of the water quality and the recovery of the estuarine food web. Habitat restoration takes place at a large scale and range from vegetation management to managed retreat. In total more than 4000 ha of natural habitat will be restored. New techniques like flood control areas with controlled reduced tide were developed and implemented. The major project\, the Kruibeke Bazel Rupelmonde flood control area\, in total some 700 ha\, becomes operational at the end of 2015 resulting in more than 300 ha of new tidal marshes. \nTo celebrate this event\, the University of Antwerp (together with other local partners\, universities and institutes) is organising an ECSA Local Meeting on estuarine restoration. The aim of the meeting is to bring together scientists and practitioners from all over the world to exchange ideas and discuss the field of estuarine restoration. \nMajor topics dealt with during the conference are: \n\nSetting the objectives of restoration\nWhat measure is fit for which objective?\nEvaluation of restoration measures: are the objectives achieved?\nEcosystem services: a driving force for future restoration?\nPlanning for estuarine restoration\nThe role of environmental legislation as a driver for restoration\n\nThe conference will bring together both scientists and practitioners and result in new insights in the important field of estuarine restoration and lead to guidelines and concepts for further estuarine restoration projects.
