 Research has shown that changes in land use can significantly affect ecosystem services and processes. When decision-makers have to settle over a land use change or prioritise one land use over another, they need targeted information. For example, information about environmental functions and whether changes in land use composition have a positive or negative impact on human well-being are needed. Only through a better understanding of how the interactions work can the desired state be maximized by enhancing synergies or mitigating trade-offs. Consequently, ascertaining the trade-offs and synergies among ecosystem services might provide a valuable contribution to practices based on ecosystem management, and might help governments and companies to achieve their goals. Research has shown that changes in land use can significantly affect ecosystem services and processes.
