This Special Issue (SI) collects 15 papers that examine forestry in Latin America (LA). Their specific intent is to review major themes in LA forestry and forest policy and to identify important characteristics of the region that either do or should separate policy and economics in that region from that in other regions of the world. The first two papers begin with a review of national and regional forest cover and its component natural and plantations shares, then use country level forest cover and economic data to assess the region's experience with deforestation and its position on the spectrum of forest development. Subsequent papers review the effects of agricultural expansion at the forest frontier and policies to constrain that expansion or to improve forest management in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Paraguay. Two papers examine the potential for sustainable timber operations in Brazil's Amazon and two others consider the social impacts of Brazilian plantations and community management in Guatemala. These papers all reflect on shorter-run 10–30 year policy impacts. Another calls on well-known models of climate change to inquire of the longer-run 50-year anticipated impact. Three final papers begin an examination of the forest industry with specific focus on the involvement of new institutional landowners, the technical efficiency of the pulp industry and LA's participation in international markets for forest products. This first paper introduces the 15 papers. A concluding paper organizes and summarizes their contributions within the three broad themes of LA's differences with forestry in the rest of the world, the implications of these differences for forest policy, and assessments of LA's developing forest industry; then closes with recommendations for further inquiry.

拉丁美洲,特刊简介

本期特刊 (SI) 收集了 15 篇研究拉丁美洲 (LA) 林业的论文。他们的具体目的是审查洛杉矶林业和森林政策的主要主题,并确定该地区的重要特征,这些特征要么将该地区的政策和经济与世界其他地区的政策和经济区分开来,要么应该将其区分开来。前两篇论文首先回顾了国家和区域森林覆盖率及其组成部分的自然和人工林份额,然后使用国家层面的森林覆盖率和经济数据来评估该地区在森林砍伐方面的经验及其在森林发展范围内的地位。随后的论文回顾了在阿根廷、玻利维亚、巴西、智利、哥斯达黎加、危地马拉和巴拉圭。两篇论文探讨了巴西亚马逊地区可持续木材经营的潜力,另外两篇探讨了巴西种植园和危地马拉社区管理的社会影响。这些论文都反映了 10-30 年的短期政策影响。另一个人呼吁著名的气候变化模型来询问长期的 50 年预期影响。三篇期末论文开始考察森林产业,特别关注新机构土地所有者的参与、纸浆产业的技术效率和洛杉矶对国际林产品市场的参与。第一篇论文介绍了这 15 篇论文。结论文件组织并总结了他们在洛杉矶与世界其他地区林业差异的三大主题中的贡献,这些差异对森林政策的影响,以及对洛杉矶发展中的森林工业的评估;然后以进一步调查的建议结束。
