Site complementarity between biodiversity and ecosystem services in conservation planning of sparsely-populated regions.

摘要: The consequences of considering ecosystem services (ES) in conservation assessment are still widely debated. degree success depends on the extent to which biodiversity and ES can be secured under joint actions. Unlike biodiversity, is inseparably linked human beneficiaries. Reconciling with particularly challenging sparsely populated areas. This study, a sparsely-populated region eastern Canada, focused freshwater wetland ten provided by wetlands. Within given maximal total area, results showed that planning for underrepresented local flow supply 57% demand 61% networks. Planning alone surrogates an average 34%. Considering both simultaneously, all targets were achieved only 6% mean increase area. Achieving starting from network was primarily built either or features two five times less efficient than simultaneously assessment. A better framework required translate these spatial synergies into effective
