Abstract:Nature‐based solutions are attracting interest for their potential to enlist ecological processes as cost‐effective and safe ways to capture and store carbon in forest ecosystems. Such solutions often need to be implemented in landscapes in which there are longer established values for other ecosystem services including wildlife and timber production. Here we develop an integrative model that illustrates the inherent trade‐offs that will arise among the competing values for landscape space and how to resolve t… Show more
