Progress in creating a joint research agenda that allows networked long-term socio-ecological research in southern South America: Addressing crucial technological and human capacity gaps limiting its application in Chile and Argentina

摘要: Since 1980, more than 40 countries have implemented long-term ecological research (LTER) programs, which shown their power to affect advances in basic science understand the natural world at meaningful temporal and spatial scales also help link with socially relevant outcomes. Recently, a disciplinary paradigmatic shift has integrated human dimensions of ecosystems, leading socio-ecological (LTSER) framework address world's current environmental challenges. A global gap LTER/LTSER only exists latitudinal range 40–60°S, corresponding Argentina Chile's temperate/sub-Antarctic biome. team Chilean, Argentine US researchers participated an ongoing dialogue define not conceptual, but practical barriers limiting southern South America. We found number existing sites platforms throughout region, same time it been concluded agenda is needed create implement further training courses for students, postdoctoral fellows young scientists, particularly areas data information management systems. efforts Chile are incipient, instituting such now will enhance technical capacity resource community improve collection, storage, analysis dissemination emerging platforms. In turn, having this capacity, as well formalization programs national levels, allow enhancement crucial collaborations comparisons between within region hemispheres continents.

Resumen Desde mas de cuarenta paises han implementado programas Investigacion Ecologica Largo Plazo (LTER por sus siglas en ingles), los cuales mostrado su capacidad para influir sobre avances las ciencias basicas que permiten entender el mundo escalas temporales y espaciales significativas, tambien ayudar enfocar la investigacion hacia estudios socialmente relevantes. Recientemente, gracias un cambio paradigma disciplina, se integro dimension humana ecosistemas, llevandola marco conceptual Socio-Ecologica (LTSER ingles) enfrentar desafios medio-ambientales del actual. Existe vacio rango correspondiente biomas templados/subantarticos Chile. Un equipo investigadores chilenos, argentinos estadounidenses ha trabajado varios anos definir son barreras actualmente limitan creacion una Red sur Sudamerica, no solamente terminos conceptuales, sino nivel practico. buen numero sitios largo plazo pero concluimos es necesario crear e implementar cursos capacitacion estudiantes, post-doctorales jovenes cientificos, particularmente sistemas manejo datos informacion. Considerando esfuerzos incipientes, este tipo podria mejorar tecnica comunidad recursos naturales, asi como procesos recoleccion, almacenamiento, analisis difusion vez, formalizacion nacional adquirir dicha informacion, permitira fortalecimiento colaboraciones comparaciones entre dentro hemisferios continentes.
