A spatial multicriteria decision analysis for selecting priority sites for plant species restoration: a case study from the Chilean biodiversity hotspot

摘要: Developing conservation strategies to restore populations of threatened species has been signaled as an important task by the Convention on Biological Diversity 2011–2020 targets. Species are being not only habitat loss and fragmentation but increasingly climate change. As resources for often limited, restoration is among most expensive strategies, developing approaches that help in prioritization areas efforts a critical task. In this study, we propose spatial multicriteria decision analysis (SMCDA) framework identifying potential plant initiatives can explicitly take into account future climatic way show how be applied, took advantage freely available niche modeling software geospatial information identify regional-scale priority two endemic tree (i.e. Bielschmiedia miersii Pouteria splendens) “Chilean Winter Rainfall-Valdivian Forest” Hotspot. The SMCDA allowed us also analyze different environmental conditions land-use types may affect selection restoration. Our suggests inclusion change key factor assess because respond differentially conditions. This conceived used complementary approach landscape-scale planning tools.
