① Conversions from the current land-use are possible to four land-use categories. ② The potential benefits of conversions to those four land-use categories are calculated against three objectives: carbon sequestration, agricultural/forestry production and biodiversity. ③ The potential benefits are weighted using 231 weighting combinations ④ and summed up to the resulting weighted overall benefit. ⑤ The highest weighted overall benefit and the corresponding optimal land-use conversion are identified.
