A multiple criteria approach for negotiating ecosystem services supply targets and forest owners' programs
Land tenure heterogeneity may be an obstacle to forested landscape-level management
planning and the provision of ecosystem services. This research focused on the potential of …

A goal programming approach to evaluate agroforestry systems in Eastern Panama
Agroforestry is hypothesised to increase ecological and economic functions of farms. Yet it is
unclear if and how much agroforestry should be embedded in diversified farming systems to …

The inclusion of improved forest management in strategic forest planning and its impact on timber harvests, carbon and biodiversity conservation
In forestry, although the so-called nature-based climate solutions have usually been focused
on the calculation of carbon captured in new afforestation projects, it should be noted that …

Changes in structural heterogeneity and stand productivity by mixing Scots pine and Maritime pine
Mixed-species stands have been studied extensively due to their potentially superior
productivity, multi-functionality benefits and high ecological value compared to pure stands …

How considering multiple criteria, uncertainty scenarios and biological interactions may influence the optimal silvicultural strategy for a mixed forest
Assessing pre-defined strategies remains the status quo for studies supporting silvicultural
decision-making for future forest management, yet, such strategies may not fully address …

Which socio-economic conditions drive the selection of agroforestry at the forest frontier?
Abstract Models are essential to assess the socio-economic credentials of new agroforestry
systems. In this study, we showcase robust optimisation as a tool to evaluate agroforestry's …

Optimizing forest management for timber production, carbon sequestration and groundwater recharge
Forest management decisions about species mixture and harvest time are usually bound to
economic considerations. Ecosystem services (ES), aside from timber production, are hardly …
