- ItemPrioritization of strategic areas for forest restoration in high-productivity agricultural landscapes in Central Chile(2024) Madrid Ayala, Victoria Paz; Arellano, Eduardo; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Agronomía y Sistemas NaturalesAgricultural intensification in Central Chile threatens biodiversity and ecosystem services. This thesis aims to prioritize strategic areas for forest restoration in intensive agricultural landscapes, considering ecological connectivity, ecosystem services, and productive interests. Given high land-use competition and the economic importance of fruit production, it proposes regional-scale corridor planning and a local-scale optimization model that integrates the maximization of ecological objectives in the provision of ecosystem services and forest cover, and productive objectives through the minimization of opportunity costs.
