... For example, Garmaeepour et al. [21] used the structural equation model and the index of social progress to analyze the complex relationship between the ecosystem services of the mangrove forests of Iran and the welfare of the local community, highlighting the importance of this nexus in achieving sustainability indicators. Kassun et al. [22] argued that conflicts between forest conservation and forest use will lead to trade-offs/synergies between services, exacerbated by land-use changes. However, in studies on value assessments of ecosystem services and their responses to land-use change [23,24] and landscape pattern change [25,26], woodland were only explored as a type of use, and the value of woodland ecosystem services, their driving factors, and the trade-offs/synergies among them still need in-depth research. ...

... Despite laws prohibiting the harvesting of forest products, illicit wood collection is common, particularly, at night. Bianca et al. (2024) reported similar findings, noting that timber for local housing construction, firewood, food, and fodder was the main ESs used by the local people from Desa'a dry Afromontane Forest in Ethiopia. The forest cover of the HDAF was around 37.1 km 2 (7.4%) in 1984 and increased to 88.6 km 2 (17.6%) in 2020 (Figure 3a,e). ...
