Sustainable development of land use is determined by changes of the regional supply of Land Use Functions
(LUFs) and the demand of future societal land use claims. LUFs are based on the ecosystem services concept,
but more adapted to human land use. In this paper, we assessed two peatland-use scenarios towards sustainable
development in Northeast Germany in order to understand their impacts on LUFs and land use claims. For this,
we extended an analytical framework designed to confront LUFs with land use claims identified in multi-level
stakeholder strategies in a participatory manner. The sustainability assessment was performed with peatlanduse
scenarios “Services for services” and “Market determines usage” that favoured environmental and
economic land use claims, respectively. Findings revealed possible trade-offs between land use claims for
biomass production and regional value creation as well as for peatlands` carbon and nutrient sink, and habitat
functions. The core achievement is an extended sustainability assessment framework integrating land use
demands of multi-level stakeholder strategies into participatory impact assessment, in a way that land use
claims serve as benchmarks for LUFs. This facilitates the understanding of sustainable land use in both supply
and demand perspective, and the normative evaluation of ecosystem services.
