Seminar in May 2011

The "2nd Workshop on Forest Inventory" aimed to create a discussion forum on forest inventories and floristic surveys. The results of four years of work done by the IFFSC were presented. After the presentations, a discussion about the IFFSC's results with external collaborators and consultants of the IFFSC was conducted. The role of the results in forest policies and conservation of forest resources of Santa Catarina were also discussed. There were presentations related to the identification of new demands and research themes, such as climate change scenarios, payment for environmental services, and forest management.
