Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) seeks to achieve an equilibrium in the economic, social and environmental value of all types of forests. This practice contrasts with the conventional view of managing forests, in which the focus is productivity. Thus, discussions about conventional forest management versus sustainable forest management play a central role in the political and scientific agendas. However, knowledge production and its direction can be biased by different contextual factors such as the way funding is assigned by each country, institutional priorities, and constraints on international cooperation. With this paper, we aim to analyze the contribution of scientific knowledge produced in Latin America within the sustainable forest management research landscape by applying a literature review method (Scopus database for 2015–2018 period). Our results show a similar contribution of national and foreign funds and institutions supporting scientific knowledge about SFM in Latin America. Foreign funding comes mainly from United States of America, and Europe. Latin American authors lead high proportion of scientific articles, and authorship gender was more equitable between male and female researchers. The studies were mostly focused on conservation combined with productivity goals, as well as pure conservation goals, although social studies and restoration goals were also present. Our findings highlight a significant contribution to the paradigm shift in half of the scientific articles. Some studies provided recommendations (specific or general) derived from their results, but we did not detected a clear relationship with funding origin. Moreover, we found that the high contribution to the paradigm shift (studies supporting SFM instead of traditional management) came from institutions based in Latin America. This article aims to contribute to discussions related to scientific funding in Latin America, the North-South scientific relations, and the future of forest in times of climate change.

可持续森林管理 (SFM) 旨在实现所有类型森林的经济、社会和环境价值的平衡。这种做法与关注生产力的传统森林管理观点形成鲜明对比。因此，关于传统森林管理与可持续森林管理的讨论在政治和科学议程中发挥着核心作用。然而，知识生产及其方向可能会受到不同背景因素的影响，例如每个国家分配资金的方式、机构优先事项和对国际合作的限制。有了这篇论文，我们旨在通过应用文献综述方法（2015-2018 年的 Scopus 数据库）分析拉丁美洲产生的科学知识在可持续森林管理研究领域的贡献。我们的研究结果表明，支持拉丁美洲可持续森林管理科学知识的国内外基金和机构做出了类似的贡献。外国资金主要来自美国和欧洲。拉丁美洲作者在科学文章中占主导地位，男女研究人员之间的作者性别更加公平。这些研究主要集中在保护与生产力目标相结合，以及纯粹的保护目标，尽管也存在社会研究和恢复目标。我们的发现突出了一半科学文章对范式转变的重大贡献。一些研究提供了从他们的结果中得出的建议（具体或一般），但我们没有发现与资金来源的明确关系。此外，我们发现对范式转变（支持可持续森林管理而不是传统管理的研究）的巨大贡献来自拉丁美洲的机构。本文旨在促进有关拉丁美洲科学资助、南北科学关系以及气候变化时期森林未来的讨论。我们发现对范式转变（支持可持续森林管理而不是传统管理的研究）的巨大贡献来自拉丁美洲的机构。本文旨在促进有关拉丁美洲科学资助、南北科学关系以及气候变化时期森林未来的讨论。我们发现对范式转变（支持可持续森林管理而不是传统管理的研究）的巨大贡献来自拉丁美洲的机构。本文旨在促进有关拉丁美洲科学资助、南北科学关系以及气候变化时期森林未来的讨论。
