Investigaciones Ecológicas de Larga Duración - Uruguay
As the uruguayan component of the ILTER network, the IELDU network is composed by individual researchers working in several aspects of long-term ecological and environmental research. After a first meeting held at Montevideo in 1997, investigators from several institutions have discussed the status of the research, and define a first site.
The goals of the IELDU network correspond to the general ones of the ILTER network, that is:
- Promote and enhance the understanding of long-term ecological phenomena across national and regional boundaries;
- Promote comparative analysis and synthesis across sites;
- Facilitate interaction among participating scientists across disciplines and sites;
- Promote comparability of observations and experiments, integration of research and monitoring, and encourage data exchange;
- Enhance training and education in comparative long-term ecological research and its relevant technologies;
- Contribute to the scientific basis for ecosystem management;
- Facilitate international collaboration among comprehensive, site-based, long-term ecological research programs; and
- Facilitate development of such programs where they currently do not exist.
