Effects of land markets and land management on ecosystem function: A framework for modelling exurban land-change

► The new framework integrates agent-based and ecosystem models to link management and the C cycle. ► Fertilization and irrigation of residential turfgrass stored more carbon than no management. ► No management stored more carbon than managements removing woody debris and grass clippings. ► Removal practices had a larger impact on total parcel carbon storage than modeled additions. ► Residential land-management practices can have a substantial effect on carbon storage.
