Open remarks by Pr. William Balée (Tulane University, USA) => Friday 21/05/21, 15:00-16:30 UTC+2

• Session 1 - Historical heritage and conservation
  Contribution of historical ecology to biological conservation and / or ecological restoration. Notions of “reference ecosystem”, degree of naturalness, resistance and resilience, adaptation to climate change and disturbance regimes, role of the human relationship with their environment, human perception of environment, etc.

Keynote: Dr. Thierry Dutoit (IMBE-CNRS, France) => Tuesday 25/05/21, 15:00-16:30 UTC+2

• Session 2 - Environmental resource exploitation
  Insights from past use and management of environmental resources into the understanding of the current state (soil, vegetation, biogeochemical fluxes) and sustainability of resources exploitation. Notions of thresholds, rates of harvesting, resources exploitation, overexploitation, sustainability, past-current practices, soil legacies, local products environmental characterization, etc.

Keynote: Dr. Nicki Whitehouse (University of Glasgow, UK) => Wednesday 26/05/21, 15:00-16:30 UTC+2

• Session 3 - Ecological dynamics
  Assessment of land and biodiversity dynamics in the past, current and future, at various spatial scales (from local to global), levels of organization (from genes to biome) and for all biota (including domestic and wild fauna, cultivated and wild flora, microbial communities). Notions of spatial or temporal ecological continuity, local adaptation, disturbance regimes, extinction debt and colonization credit, species migration and range shifts, diversification processes, etc.

Keynote: Dr. Kris Verheyen (Ghent University, BE) => Thursday 27/05/21, 15:00-16:30 UTC+2

• Session 4 - Methods and Tools in historical ecology
  Progress in analytical strategies and tools relevant for historical ecology (modelling, machine learning, GIS, LIDAR, meta-analyses, molecular ecology and ecological genomics, paleo-indicators, bio-indicators, methods of dating, environmental archaeology sources, new types of archives, etc.), updates in historical ecology concepts and terminology, contribution of social sciences, etc.

Keynote: Dr. Charline Giguet-Covex (EDYTEM-CNRS, France) => Friday 28/05/21, 15:00-16:30 UTC+2
