This report is organized around the original Specific objectives of BEST-P:
1. To characterize and map the supply of key Intermediate ES related to C, trace gases production, water and climate dynamics, specific final services for each region and the delivery of benefits (economical, cultural and social) to the main stakeholders on landscapes of the three study regions (Valdivian and Chaco forest, Rio de la Plata Grasslands) under different land use and land cover scenarios.
2. To evaluate the predictions of the five stated hypothesis (see the hypothesis at bestp.agro.uba.ar/proposal) in landscapes of the three study regions.
3. To develop toolboxes to incorporate ES flows and benefits, and stakeholders perception into the territorial planning processes
4. To develop alternatives to restore ES provision at the plot and the landscape/watershed level in the three study regions.
5. To implement training programs (courses, workshops, field courses) oriented to the use of the ES framework in the land planning processes at the landscape level. We are planning two types of programs, one oriented to the professional sector and one oriented to empower local stakeholders
6. Outreach activities throughout web pages of the Project, conferences, press releases and a strong interaction with ONGs, agencies, local and national governments.
