In order to attend to this event and/or submit an abstract you will need to be registered. Please note that for organizational reasons, you must register within the specified dates. It will not be possible to register on site. To register please fill in the form <https://sites.google.com/site/iufrobariloche2015/home/abstract-submissions> in our web page. To submit an abstract, you must also use the registration form (the option for abstract submission will be automatically generated after clicking "yes" to the "will you submit and abstract" question). *Field trip* We are arranging a day-long field excursion. We will visit Cerro Otto Mountain to observe the forest-steppe gradient. Then we will go to a typical steppe "estancia" where we will visit pine plantations with different degrees of attacks by wood boaring insects, and there, we will have a traditional Patagonic lamb and empanadas. Finally, we will go to Nahuel Huapi Lake towards Circuito Chico and the Llao-Llao Nothofagus forest. *Fees* We charge no registration fees for the meeting. However, additional activities including the field trip will have a cost of US$400 that will be charged exclusively on-site. For those interested in these activities please enlist upon registration, as there is a limited number of available spaces. Please note that by attending to the field trip you are also contributing to a better meeting! Please let us know if you have any questions.
