Table 3 presents the assumptions for each scenario. For timber revenues we assume either a harvest rate of 18% of the total standing stock, which is the average of the farm who sold timber in this region, this is the most conservative estimate. For the realistic estimate we assume a harvest regime with 50% of the total standing stock being harvested, and for the maximum scenario we assume that in every rotation 100% of the trees is harvested. The price of carbon is assumed to be either €2.85, which is the global average voluntary carbon price for restoration project (Hamrick and Gallant, 2017) or we assume €13.35 in the maximum scenario, which has been paid for carbon offsetting in a Peruvian coffee agroforestry project (Amrein et al., 2015). The discount rates vary between 6 to 10%, which are commonly used in for rural carbon and forestry projects in upcoming economies (Balderas Torres et al., 2010; Busch et al., 2020; Cacho et al., 2013; Cubbage et al., 2007; Restrepo and Orrego, 2015).
