This paper uses existing studies in forestry to present such a framework and discusses its potential uses and limitations as a new standard tool to inform multi-functional land use decisions.
The conceptual framework is also applied by land use area in a case study, using the Republic of Ireland as an example, to show how the principle of multi-functional land use planning can be readily implemented.
Multi-functional land use is a key strategy for increasing the uptake of small-scale renewable energy but little to no data is available regarding it in European land use literature and policy.
In order to achieve a sustainable biomass supply it is necessary to broaden the range of biomasses used for biofuels and to include the multi-functionality of land use [ 3].
This feature is the root cause of the multi- functional behaviour we have just demonstrated.

Land use multi-functionalization (LUMF) promotes efficient and sustainable land use, reduces land pressures from limited land resources, and elevates urbanization quality in the midst of the increasingly tense relationship between humans and nature.
Considering other joint probability masses might be useful for finding functional relations between some multi function genes.
