Restoring forest landscapes for nature conservation and human well-being: Advanced spatial decision support tools
TL;DR: In this article, a GIS-based multicriteria methodology was used to identify reforestation priorities, to design a number of landscape-scale reforestation options and to assess them according to their socio-ecological performance The methodology was tested in an area of Chiapas (Mexico), where forest degradation is significant and poverty widespread.
