Book of Abstracts
The Book of Abstracts of the IUFRO Forest Environment Division 8 Conference: Forests as Hubs of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in the Anthropocene brings together the scientific abstracts presented at the conference held in Coyhaique, Chilean Patagonia, from March 24 to 27, 2026. The volume offers a broad and timely perspective on forests as key spaces for biodiversity, ecosystem services, and resilience in the face of global change. Its contents address topics such as forest monitoring, ecological restoration, climate change, wildfires, carbon dynamics, landscape management, governance, and the links between science, public policy, and communities. Organized into plenary sessions, four thematic pillars, poster sessions, workshops, and field trips, this book serves as an academic record of the conference and as a valuable reference for researchers, professionals, students, and decision-makers interested in the challenges facing forest ecosystems in the Anthropocene.
