abstract = {The growing demand for timber and the boom in massive tree-planting programs
could mean the spreading of mismanaged tree plantations worldwide. Here, we
apply the concept of ecological intensification to forestry systems as a viable
biodiversity-focused strategy that could be critical to develop productive, yet
sustainable, tree plantations. Tree plantations can be highly productive if tree
species are properly combined to complement their ecological functions.
Simultaneously considering soil biodiversity and animal-mediated biocontrol
will be critical to minimize the reliance on external inputs. Integrating genetic,
functional, and demographic diversity across heterogeneous landscapes should
improve resilience under climate change. Designing ecologically intensified
plantations will mean breaking the timber productivity versus conservation
dichotomy and assuring the maintenance of key ecosystem services at safe
levels.},
