Management practices, stakeholder attitudes and consumer behavior are discussed at national and regional level with policy makers, providers and beneficiaries. A web-based auctioning platform is implemented to support the design of different business models and the analysis of trade-offs in multifunctional forest management. For the prediction and optimization of multiple sets of forest ecosystem services a framework of indicators is designed and applied by forest ecosystem models and remote sensing techniques. </p>
