Planning restoration in human-modified landscapes: New insights linking different scales

摘要: Abstract The transformation of tropical ecosystems by humans have resulted in forest loss, which, turn, caused negative impacts on biodiversity and the provisioning ecosystem services. There is an urgent need to plan restoration these human-modified landscapes, using methodological approaches that consider key processes occurring at different spatial scales while engage local community participation, offering them best possibilities tangible benefits. In this study, was evaluated landscape pattern conservation status existing remnants, showing analysis possible scenarios for a La Montana, indigenous region southwestern Mexico. Therefore, scale were linked identify specific elements where efforts improve connectivity must be concentrated. Also, approach allowed finding set species from reference sites showed socioecological characteristics used strategies. As expected, Montana typical highly i.e., several small (
