The study looked at how to measure the benefits nature provides in forests for managing the land better. They reviewed studies in the Appalachian area to see how people study different parts of the forest like trees and animals. Usually, experts assess the health of the forest or look at specific services it gives us, but they don't often connect the health of the forest to the services we get. They found that linking these together can help us manage forests better. By using models that look at both the services and how the forests work, we can understand the connections between them and make forest management decisions that benefit everything.
