Abstract

We used disturbance intensity values (low, medium and high) of severaldrivers of forest change (DFC) to build a comprehensive classification diagram of possible scenarios. This diagram groups sets of S&TM that include ñire forests´ natural development phases (regeneration, initial and final optimal growth, and break down). Then, to define priority S&TM and DFC, we conducted discussionswith stakeholders related to native forest management in southern Patagonia (scientists, decision makers, government, producers, technicians), and validated the proposal through participatory workshops and fieldwork to verify different situations (states).
