The world has lost one-third of its forest, an area approximately the size of the USA, China and India combined (ca. 2000 Mha) compared to 10 000 years ago [1–3]. In the past three decades (1990 to 2020), the net global forest area loss was 178 Mha (420 Mha deforestation and 242 Mha forest expansion) [4].

MAgPIE modelThe MAgPIE land system modeling framework (Version 4.4.0) is an open-source, recursive dynamic global partial equilibrium model30,31 for the agricultural, forestry, and other landuse (AFOLU) sectors. The model minimizes the overall AFOLU costs based on spatially-explicit agricultural productivity values, the demand for agriculturally-based food, feed and material demand, and international trade30,50.

AbstractLand conservation and increased carbon uptake on land are fundamental to achieving the ambitious targets of the climate and biodiversity conventions. Yet, it remains largely unknown how such ambitions, along with an increasing demand for agricultural products, could drive landscape-scale changes and affect other key regulating nature’s contributions to people (NCP) that sustain land productivity outside conservation priority areas.
