Valuing multiple ecosystem services under contrasting land use scenarios, Grand River Basin (Iowa and Missouri, USA), 2016

This dataset includes spatial and tabular data used to evaluate ecosystem service outcomes under three land-use scenarios (baseline, buffered, and productivity-based) within the Grand River Basin, spanning southwest Iowa and northwest Missouri. The dataset comprises geospatial layers and model inputs for land cover, soil characteristics, and hydrology, as well as outputs from the InVEST modeling suite for nutrient delivery ratio, sediment delivery ratio, carbon storage, and pollinator abundance. It also includes financial data used to estimate the net present value of bioenergy grassland systems, including enterprise budgets and biomass yield assumptions. The scenarios simulate the conversion of cropland to native grassland either adjacent to streams (Buffered) or on low-productivity soils (Productivity-based), and the dataset captures associated changes in land cover, ecosystem service indicators, and potential biomass production. This dataset is intended to support further research and planning related to landscape-scale conservation, ecosystem service valuation, and bioenergy development in agricultural regions.
