Ecosystem Services tradeoffs in farm properties facing exotic tree plantation expansion
Description
This database provides raw values of ecosystem services (ES) supply for 5 ecosystem services, namely, non-native tree plantation timber supply, native timber supply, water regulation, forage supply (from pastures) and recreation opportunities. The values are provided for two administrative units, the municipality and three type of farm properties (small, medium and large). Each ES has two columns, the first one represents the values of ES supply in a base year and the second one represents the values of ES supply for a projection where exotic tree plantations expand. The data can be used to compare changes in the supply of several ES at different administrative levels, using for instance statistical analysis such as correlations.

Steps to reproduce
If you want to reproduce the data for another area, you have to count with 3 main inputs. Firstly, ecosystem services maps. Secondly, a map of farm properties or another clear biophisical categorization with clear boundaries and thirdly a scenario or projection where you assess future changes in land use/cover or it proxies.
