The objective of this course is to introduce and familiarize the audience in the world of mycorrhizas, fungi that colonize roots of most agricultural and terrestrial plants, but also of some aquatic plants, being organisms of extreme importance in ecological restoration. Taller teorico- practico de iniciacion a las tecnicas de Bioingenieria (trenzados de mimbre, esteras de ramaje, enfajinados, estaquillados, entramado vivo de ladera, enrejado vivo, etc.).

The Use of Mycorrhizas in Ecosystem Restoration
Instructor: Marcela Pagano
Language: English
The objective of this course is to introduce and familiarize the audience in the world of mycorrhizas, fungi that colonize roots of most agricultural and terrestrial plants, but also of some aquatic plants, being organisms of extreme importance in ecological restoration. Relevant findings will be emphasized (theoretical and practical approaches), such as inoculation of AM fungi, their identification, methods for their evaluation, as well as recent challenges. Additionally, case studies of agroforestry, and natural environments restoration (riparian, highland fields and dry forest) from Brazil will be presented and illustrated. The benefits and problems of the use of AM in restoration will be discussed, in order to highlight the importance of germplasm banks of AM, the relationship of AM with soil characteristics, especially organic matter and glomalin contents. Research directions that are needed to increase the understanding and the potential use of AM, for regeneration in habitats subjected to disturbance, and, consequently, the wise management of ecosystem goods and services, which can prevent a deepening of poverty, will be discussed.
Bases para proyectar las técnicas de bioingeniería en la restauración ecológica
Instructors: Paola Sangalli & Pilar Barraqueta Egea
Language: Spanish
Taller teorico- practico de iniciacion a las tecnicas de Bioingenieria (trenzados de mimbre, esteras de ramaje, enfajinados, estaquillados, entramado vivo de ladera, enrejado vivo, etc.). En la Bioingenieria, se utilizan las plantas vivas como elementos constructivos, conjuntamente o no con elementos inertes (piedra, madera, metal…) para actuaciones de restauracion ecologica o de restauracion del medio natural en general.
