Resumen:
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 America: Patterns, Process, and lessons to be learned” during the 6th Southern Connection Congress in Bariloche, Argentina (http:// www.sccongress2010.com.ar).
