  "definition": "Alternative scenarios are not intended to predict the future. Rather, they present a series of plausible future states that are likely to include: (1) a mixture of modeled projections of current trajectories and/or prospective forecasts, (2) alternative policy and/or management options that will likely affect ecological goods and services, and (3) various spatial and monitoring data that are used to describe both the baseline and the alternative scenarios in terms of landscape characteristics and associated ecosystem services.",
