Private Benefits of Natural Capital on Farms Across an Endangered Ecoregion

Highlights• Private benefits of natural capital on farmland are estimated using quantile regression with 28,460 farmland parcel sales.• Estimates of private benefits associated with natural capital on farms vary significantly across land value quantiles; benefits were highest for higher value quantiles.• Private benefits of woodland on farms diminish as the proportion of cover increases, and as the area of a farmland parcel increases.• Adoption of biodiversity sensitive farming could be supported by soft policy tools for farmland in the upper land value quantiles
