Management planning for endangered plant species in priority protected areas

摘要: We propose an improved planning method for priority protected areas (PPAs) to conserve endangered plant species that are threatened by climate change and human disturbance. Recent researches have shown the actual approaches used in PPAs useful conservation of plants. The next required step is determine how protect plants effectively PPAs. Here, we case 84 China integrate management into First, identified locations proposed based on current future suitable habitats species, shifts due change, as modelled Maxent; secondly, classified different clusters value protecting them factors threaten them; finally, determined best regions management. found with high material, medicinal, scientific research values protection were over-exploitation excess reclamation candidate distributed mainly southern China—the provinces Fujiang, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, Zhejiang Guizhou held large potential species. Given attention paid PPAs, practical study, our will provide important point reference implementation policy from effects along information about them.
