At the regional level, pilot demonstrations will reveal the performance of business models for providing FES under contrasting ecological and socio-economic conditions. Expected results include the design of innovative management plans to maximize stakeholder satisfaction, the analysis of value trade-offs of potential outcomes for FES and an improved understanding of the consumer preferences and efficiency of business models.

Selected NOBEL pilot demonstrations will be used in a tandem approach to (i) demonstrate the use of business models at the regional level in different ecological and socio-economic contexts; (ii) identify innovative forest management approaches for the provision of FES, that will help to generate new knowledge and guidelines; (iii) provide a platform for exchange of knowledge and experience between partners; (iv) validate, disseminate and communicate guidelines and recommendations developed in the project.
