Assessing trade-offs among ecosystem services (ESs) that are provided by forests is necessary to support decision-making and to minimize negative effects of timber harvesting. In this study, we examined how spatial data, forest operational rules, ESs, and probabilistic statistics can be combined into a practical tool for trade-off analysis that cou...

Airborne laser scanning (ALS) has emerged as a technology capable of generating descriptors of vegetation structure and best available terrain information. Research and operational implementations of ALS data have highlighted their value for characterizing forest structure and generating spatially explicit and objective spatial coverages and mappin...

Maps of ecosystem services are becoming increasingly useful for reporting on the potential impacts of human activity on the environment. However, interactions in watersheds are complex, and mapping hydrological ecosystem services (HES) requires indicators which accurately measure underlying processes. The main objective of this study was to take ad...
