Abstract

The USDA Forest Service has been developing an ecosystem services framework to highlight forest values provided by public lands and to build partnerships with stakeholders to implement projects. In addition to describing ecosystem services provided by forest landscapes, this framework examines the potential tradeoffs among services associated with proposed management activities. This paper briefly describes results ranging from national programs to forest plan assessments to project scale applications that enhance the provision of ecosystem services and sustainable forest management at national to local scales.
