description | A key element to favor sustainable forest management is to know the trade-offs and synergy relationships of ecosystem services generated by forests. The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between forest management and some ecosystem services, namely plant diversity, timber production, regulation of water flows, and carbon sequestration in temperate forests of Mexico. Several bibliographic databases were reviewed to find the publications related with those subjects, eventually compiling 57 studies. The forest management applied is materialized through silvicultural practices that include thinning, regeneration, and selection cuts. In general, forest management has a positive impact on the provision of wood (raw material) and carbon sequestration. It has a variable effect on the conservation of plant diversity and it is negatively correlated with the flow of water, at least at the beginning of the silvicultural intervention. The impact and resilience of the ecosystem depends on the spatial and temporal scale of the disturbance. The identification, quantification, and evaluation of ecosystem services interactions in temperate forests of Mexico could help decision makers to understand and minimize the potential impacts of forest management on ecosystem services. |

Un elemento clave para favorecer un manejo forestal sustentable es conocer las compensaciones, sinergias y relaciones de los servicios ecosistémicos generados por los bosques. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo describir la relación entre el manejo forestal y algunos servicios ecosistémicos, en particular la conservación de la diversidad vegetal, producción de madera, regulación de los flujos del agua y el secuestro y almacenamiento de carbono en bosques templados de México. Se revisaron varias bases de datos bibliográficos para encontrar los estudios más relacionados con estos temas, compilándose 57 trabajos. El manejo forestal se materializa a través de prácticas que incluyen aclareos, cortas de regeneración, selección y otros tratamientos complementarios. De manera general, el manejo forestal impacta de forma positiva el abastecimiento de madera (materia prima) y el secuestro y almacén de carbono. Tiene un efecto variable en la conservación de la diversidad vegetal y negativo en el abastecimiento de flujos de agua, al menos al inicio de la intervención silvícola. El impacto y resiliencia del ecosistema depende de la escala espacial y temporal de la perturbación. La identificación, cuantificación y evaluación de las interacciones de los servicios ecosistémicos en los bosques templados de México, puede ayudar a los tomadores de decisiones a minimizar los impactos posibles del manejo forestal sobre los servicios ecosistémicos.
