Optimizing land use decision-making to sustain Brazilian agricultural profits, biodiversity and ecosystem services

2016-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Designing landscapes that can meet human needs, while maintaining functioning ecosystems, is essential for long-term sustainability. To achieve this goal, we must better understand the trade-offs and thresholds in the provision of ecosystem services and economic returns. To this end, we integrate spatially explicit economic and biophysical models to jointly optimize agricultural profit (sugarcane production and ca...
