| description | Selecting where to establish forest plantations is crucial to maximize its probability of success. Multi-criteria decision analysis for land suitability accomplishes this purpose by matching ecological requirements of chosen species for planting against soil productive potential and climate conditions. This study describes a model developed under both a hierarchical analytical process framework and a multi-objective land allocation approach, in a GIS environment, to select optimal sites for establishing six pine species (Pinus engelmannii, P. leiophylla, P. arizonica, P. cembroides, P.chihuahuana and P. durangensis) for commercial purposes in Northern Mexico. The model considers climatic, edaphological and topographical criteria and subcriteria that affect the location of suitable areas to establish commercial forest plantations. Sub-criteria values were standardized, weighted and ordered by pairwise matrices considering their importance regarding to planting such tree species. Initially, the model quantified the suitability of the land to establish forest plantations. Then, such suitability results were optimized through a multiobjective procedure to identify the best species to plant in the area under four decision scenarios: harvesting age, wood quality, survival, and susceptibility to both pests and diseases. The results indicate that the municipality of Durango has the greatest number of optimal areas to establish forest plantations with the species analyzed. |

La selección del sitio adecuado para establecer plantaciones forestales es crucial si se desea maximizar su probabilidad de éxito. Los análisis de aptitud de tierras sirven para ese propósito al empatar los requerimientos ecológicos de las especies a plantar con el potencial productivo del suelo y con las condiciones climáticas existentes para el crecimiento óptimo de las especies elegidas. Este estudio describe un modelo, desarrollado en el marco del proceso analítico jerárquico y la asignación de tierras multiobjetivo e integrado en un sistema de información geográfica, para seleccionar el sitio óptimo para el establecimiento de plantaciones forestales comerciales en los municipios Durango, Nombre de Dios y Súchil, del estado de Durango, México, considerando seis especies de pino (Pinus engelmannii, P. leiophylla, P. arizonica, P. cembroides, P.chihuahuana y P. durangensis). El modelo es jerárquico, considera criterios y subcriterios climáticos, edafológicos y topográficos que afectan la localización de áreas adecuadas para establecer plantaciones forestales comerciales. Los valores de los subcriterios fueron estandarizados, ponderados y ordenados mediante matrices de comparaciones pareadas, considerando su importancia para el desarrollo de plantaciones. El modelo inicialmente cuantificó la aptitud de la tierra para establecer plantaciones forestales. Posteriormente, los resultados de aptitud se optimizaron mediante un procedimiento multiobjetivo para identificar la mejor especie a plantar en la zona bajo cuatro escenarios de decisión: turno de producción, calidad de la madera, supervivencia y susceptibilidad a plagas y enfermedades. Los resultados indican que el municipio de Durango presenta la mayor cantidad de áreas óptimas para establecer plantaciones forestales con las especies analizadas.
