文摘

InVEST was used to map and estimate the effect of land use change on ecosystem services in the Hyrcanian forests in Iran. Forest loss results in loss of biodiversity, carbon sequestration and water balance. Scenario development explored the impacts of land use changes on ecosystem services. Collaborative Zoning scenario presents the best configuration of the landscape. This may lead to reduced environmental impact and less stakeholder conflict.
