Integrating different ecosystem services (ES) to determine when harvest a forest stand is still challenging. This due the difficulty of obtaining information, models, and methods quantify those ES achieving an adequate valuation these services. In this study, we propose methodology comprising two models that could allow for integration with optimal silviculture calculate economic rotation. We have applied both eucalyptus plantations in Brazil considering ES: wood four assortments carbon sequestration. For calculated ranking previously defined management alternatives, decreasing trees-per-hectare compared traditional plantations. first model, are measured monetary units, rotation corresponds fewer trees per hectare than greater associated profitability. The second model incorporates physical units through multi-criteria decision-making results longer again hectare. study suggests optimum analysis should consider other timber production integrated silvicultural such as spacing.
