Abstract
La descentralización de la gestión ambiental implica la transferencia de poder y responsabilidades a nivel local. Aunque existen revisiones bibliográficas sobre descentralización y medio ambiente, hay un vacío para el caso específico de Latinoamérica. Utilizando la técnica del Systematic Quantitative Literature Review los patrones en la literatura revelan desequilibrios territoriales y temáticos en el análisis, con una mayoría de estudios centrados en Bolivia y Brasil, concentración de investigaciones en descentralización de la gestión forestal, dominio de los académicos del ámbito anglosajón y valoraciones dispares en los resultados dependiendo del país analizado y el enfoque disciplinar.
