In the series of lecture notes so far (Figure 1), we have defined problems of tropical land use that involve forest conversion (#1) and set up a scheme to evaluate categories of land use (#2) on the basis of a range of criteria derived from local (Profitability #8,Sustainability #3), regional (Watershed functions #7) and global (C stocks #4, Biodiversity #5, #6) benefits.
