Exploring the Multifunctional Landscapes Model in Areas Dominated by Non-Native Tree Plantations
Multifunctional landscapes offer an integrated approach to production, conservation, and human well-being. However, the challenges of implementing them in territories where plantations dominate are yet not well understood. This is the case in Chile, where plantations of non-native pines and eucalypt...

Multifunctional landscapes offer an integrated approach to production, conservation, and human well-being.

After the mega-wildfires in the region in 2023, science-policy discourse promoted the multifunctional landscapes model as a way to increase resilience.
