Data for "Local people in both frontier and intensifying landscapes in Ecuador desire forest restoration that provides multiple benefits"

This study explores local community interest in ecosystem services provided by potential tree plantation sites selected by residents within two distinct landscapes: "Frontier" and "Intensifying." The findings indicate that people tend to choose sites offering multiple ecosystem services, suggesting the potential for these areas to support multifunctional restoration efforts. Identifying locally valued ecosystem services can inform the planning and goal-setting process for forest restoration planning, ensuring alignment with the socio-ecological context of each landscape.

本研究针对两类不同景观——"前沿型（Frontier）"与"强化型（Intensifying）"——范围内居民选定的潜在植树造林场地所提供的生态系统服务（ecosystem services），探讨当地社区的关注偏好。研究结果显示，民众更倾向于选择可提供多种生态系统服务的场地，这表明此类区域具备开展多功能修复工作的潜力。明确当地民众重视的生态系统服务类型，可为森林修复规划的制定与目标设定流程提供指导，确保规划与各景观的社会生态背景相契合。
