Multicriterion trade‐offs and synergies for spatial conservation planning

摘要: Summary 1.Nature conservation policies need to deliver on multiple criteria, including genetic diversity, population viability and species richness as well ecosystem services. The challenge of integrating these may be addressed by simulation modelling. 2.We used four models (MetaConnect, SPOMSIM, a community model InVEST) assess variety spatial habitat patterns with two levels total cover realised at scales, exploring which landscape structures performed best according five different criteria assessed for functional types organisms (approximately representing trees, butterflies, small mammals birds). 3.The results display both synergies trade-offs: size pollination services generally benefitted more from fragmentation than did heterozygosity, allelic richness, although the latter varied considerably among types. 4 No single across all but averaging over types, overall performance improved greater intermediate (or less in cases lower cover). 5.Policy implications. Using we show that objectives must traded off planning, considering only taxon or criterion result sub-optimal choices when planning reserve networks. Nevertheless, heterogeneous can provide reasonable compromises criteria. This article is protected copyright. All rights reserved.
