Abstract
Species in the family Pinaceae are currently
among the most widely distributed trees in the
world. Although almost exclusively native to the
northern hemisphere, many species have been
introduced and widely planted throughout the
southern hemisphere. Introduced conifers have
been mainly used for plantation forestry, amenity,
shelter and erosion control, and in the last few
decades a number of species have become increasingly
invasive. On February 16th, 2010, we
held a symposium entitled Pine Invasion In South
America: Patterns, Process, and lessons to be
learned during the 6th Southern Connection Congress
in Bariloche, Argentina (http://
www.sccongress2010.com.ar). The symposium
was organized by the Southern Hemisphere Network
on Conifer Invasion (SHNCI), a group of concerned
scientists working on conifer invasions in
the southern hemisphere (details in Richardson et
al. 2008). Speakers from different parts of the
world, especially the Southern Hemisphere,
shared their research experiences and presented
studies on the ecology and management of invasive
conifers. The aim of this note is to highlight
the key ideas presented and discussed at the
meeting on the study and management of conifer
invasions in South America.
An introduction by Dan Simberloff et al.
suggested that there are few problems more
unique to the southern hemisphere, specifically to
parts of the former Gondwanaland, than introduced
conifer invasion. Pinaceae native to the
northern hemisphere have been widely planted in
the last few decades. Today the invasion of these
species is occurring outside managed areas, and is
expected to increase in the next decades. Given
the ecological and economic impacts that invasive
conifers can produce, a better understanding is
essential if they are to be most cost-effectively
controlled and managed in the future (Simberloff
et al. 2010).Pine Invasion In South
