Ecosystem Services

Ecosystem Services are increasingly considered a marketable forest product, and new economic strategies and business models are being formed to buy and sell ecoysystem services.

Case Studies

Case studies highlight projects that capture values for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, erosion control, nutrient cycling, pollination services, pooled ecosystem services, water quality, wildlife habitat, and other categories.

Categorized here by a primary function, each business or project may also address other economic, environmental, and community goals in forest communities. As such, you may find them cross-listed in other categories.
