“…The use of the indirect proxies may be seen as a weakness of our approach, whereas the MAUT-based valuation, which allowed a direct use of these proxies without the requirement for conversion to monetary values, is expected to reduce the uncertainties between the decisions. Unlike in the study of Sani et al (2016), we obtained this information without expert (or stakeholder) involvement using existing models. Whether the preferences of the stakeholders toward the ESs were known, incorporating them in the analyses would have been straightforward based on the techniques reviewed by Uhde et al (2015) and Pukkala et al (2014).…”

“…Applying RS data to analyze multiple forest ESs, Frank et al (2015) evaluated the biomass provisioning potential and tradeoffs for other ESs, when the land use of a region located in Germany was expected to change according to climate-adapted management scenarios. Sani et al (2016) carried out a spatial MCDA based on multi-source data and expert knowledge to rank alternative land uses in a mountain forest in Iran. Matthies et al (2016) assessed intra-service tradeoffs within the Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) scheme based on the Finnish MS-NFI data.…”

“…The challenge is then to find georeferenced data at a good quality and appropriate spatial resolution that allow the deduction of sound environmental indicator values and the drawing of an accurate picture of the status of a forest ecosystem. Moreover, in corporate decision-making on products and raw materials, the use of georeferenced data is not yet the state of the art as it is in landscape, resource and infrastructure planning [55][56][57].…”

On the way towards a more biobased economy, the sustainable use of global wood resources remains a challenge as several trade-offs arise, e.g., from an increased energetic use of wood, an increased use of innovative but probably less recyclable wood composites, or from the need to conserve other forest ecosystem services. The aim of this study is to identify existing environmental indicators and methods for an evaluation of the sustainability of wood products in consideration of all life cycle stages, site-dependent aspects and later use in corporate decision-making. We chose a systematic literature review to answer the research questions explicitly and comprehensively. Qualitative content analysis was used to code indicators and scientific methods according to the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) framework. The sample (N = 118) is characterized by a high number of life cycle assessment (LCA) case studies. In 51% of all studies, the study authors use a combination of different methods. A total of 78 indicators and 20 site-dependent aspects could be identified in the sample. The study findings represent a first step towards a holistic environmental assessment of wood products.

“…Geoinformatics plays a very vital role in this. Geographic information system (GIS) and multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) have been rapidly used to amend the land management (Ahmadi et al 2016). The main objective of this present research work is: recommendation of future work and provide guidelines for Land Resource Management in Keolari block, Seoni district, Madhya Pradesh using GIS and Remote sensing and multi criteria analysis.…”

Land resource play a very vital role for the prosperity of any region and its relevant development and management is a matter of extreme concern to the people. Inappropriate use of the land has created so many problems like land degradation, soil erosion, wastes, deteriorate in productivity and so on. Therefore, proper utilisation of land and land resources to fulfil the requirements and increasing demand of growing population is very necessary. This paper focuses on the conceptional integration of land resource management with reference to an action research program for different type of agriculture practices of Keolari Block, Seoni District (Madhya Pradesh). Sentinel 2A, Cartosat DEM, SOI topographical map and relevant secondary data were used for the study area. Various factors including geomorphology, lithology, Ground Water Potential (GWP), soil texture, slope, LULC and land capability were used for the preparation of action plan for the artful management, and planning of land resources of the study area with integration of Thematic maps. GIS and Remote sensing prove as a beneficial tool for the development of user friendly for the study of land resources and Land resource management. The action plan map suggests suitable land site for various type of agriculture including double cropping, agroforestry, agro-horticulture and dryland horticulture. The entire study was classified into five categories very highly suitable, highly suitable, moderately suitable, least suitable and not suitable. Area statistics has been generated for different types of agriculture practices. Implementation of the suggested action plan will lead to sustainable development of the land resources.
