Forest importance to water supply: The US Forest Service’s Forests to Faucets Project represents one approach to ecosystem service assessment. Watersheds are ranked in terms of both forest cover and the estimated number of people who rely on them for drinking water. This highlights the water filtration services that forests provide in different landscapes.

Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative geographic extent: The Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative serves a vast region, including parts of 15 eastern US states. Landscapes and the ecosystem services they provide within this region are highly diverse and vary from place to place.
Forest above-ground biomass: The Woods Hole Research Center’s National Biomass and Carbon Stock Dataset for the year 2000 represents an important component of carbon sequestration by Appalachian forests. The spatial distribution of this ecosystem service is influenced over time by drivers such as surface mining, urbanization, climate change, and forest growth.
