The land use of the study area is classified into ten classes: settlement, lowland forest, lowland forest-mixed, dryland food crop, estate crop, grassland, highland forest-single, lowland forest-single, smallholder estate crop, and water body (Fig. 4).
Following the methodological approach as described in the methods section, Table 3 presents the net present value (NPV) of each identified land use for the three analysed REDD+ pilot projects.

In order to compare the now available NPP per crop and sub-regions of EPIC with the BETHY/DLR results, statistical data about the land use of each of the four sub-regions is used to aggregate the NPP of EPIC.
The objective of our study was to analyze and compare the impacts on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), energy consumption and land use of two grassland-based cow-calf beef systems in relation to their contrasted grassland management and animal production strategies.
This reflects the different climatic conditions and the land use history of the two areas.
According to the rating level of Jones (2003), the mean available Cu and Zn in the soils of the three land uses of the study area are within the range of low and medium fertility status, respectively.
According to Jones (2003) soil available Fe and Mn ratings, the available Fe contents of soils of all the three land uses of the study area falls within the range of high status and the available Mn is within the medium range.
To estimate the difference in SOC stocks among the local land uses of the selected area, we identified four land-use types as study sites: conventionally tilled cropland with Oolong tea (Camellia sinensis L ., conventionally tilled cropland with Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens), and two coniferous plantations with Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and Taiwania (Taiwania cryptomerioides).
In this study, we divided the land use of Phoenix into four classes: urban, agricultural land, desert and recreation land, and chose 4 class-level metrics: PLAND, PD, LSI, and LPI and 3 landscape-level metrics: SHDI, AWMPFD, and CONTAG, to qualify the urbanization dynamics of Phoenix.
