Summary. This study maps how landscape services relate to land use patterns in three rural Tanzanian villages. Researchers used participatory mapping to identify eight provisioning and one cultural service, then analyzed their spatial associations with local land cover. The findings show that land use patterns significantly predict landscape service distribution, with both village-specific patterns and common associations across sites. This suggests land use data could help estimate landscape services at larger scales.
