热带林地利用和覆盖变化（LUCC）动态研究主要集中在三种情景：（1）森林砍伐/退化； (2) 已定居的、正在恢复的退化地区；(3) 稀疏的、广阔的、完整的森林。通过对墨西哥金塔纳罗奥州中部案例研究的考察，我们提出了“可持续景观”的第四种情景：有人居住、高效利用的森林景观，但在过去 25 年里，森林覆盖率几乎没有变化或净增长。我们使用 Landsat 图像来证明净森林砍伐发生率较低，1984 年至 2000 年期间为 0.01%，是墨西哥东南部有记录的最低森林砍伐率。诸如土地改革进程等制度创新，为非木材林产品的开采建立了大型公共财产森林，以及后来的可持续森林管理机构等创新，推动了低净毁林的结果，并增加了促进可持续土地利用的多种组织进程。
Research on the dynamics of tropical forest land use and cover change (LUCC) has focused on the three scenarios: (1) deforestation/degradation; (2) settled, degraded areas in recovery, and (3) sparsely settled, expansive, intact forest. Through examination of a central Quintana Roo, Mexico case study we propose a fourth scenario of a ‘sustainable landscape’: an inhabited, productively used, forested landscape that nonetheless shows little change or net gains in forest cover over the last 25 years. We use Landsat images to demonstrate a low incidence of net deforestation, 0.01% for the 1984–2000 period, the lowest recorded deforestation rate for southeastern Mexico. Institutional innovations such as an agrarian reform process that established large common property forests for non-timber forest product extraction, and later innovations such as sustainable forest management institutions have driven the outcome of low net deforestation, added to multiple organizational processes that promote sustainable land use.
