Incorporating ecological and evolutionary processes into continental-scale conservation planning.
Systematic conservation planning research has focused on designing systems of conservation areas that efficiently protect a comprehensive and representative set of species and habitats. Recently, there has been an emphasis on improving the adequacy of conservation area design to promote the persistence and future generation of biodiversity. Few studies have explored incorporating ecological and...
متن کاملInconsistent outcomes of heterogeneity-based management underscore importance of matching evaluation to conservation objectives
Conservation policy often incentivizes managers of human-impacted areas to create landscape heterogeneity to maximize biodiversity. In rangeland, patchy disturbance regimes create landscape heterogeneity (patch contrast), but outcomes of heterogeneity-based management are rarely tested for a universal response. We analyzed four habitat variables – vegetation structure, plant functional group co...

متن کاملMatching marine reserve design to reserve objectives.
Recent interest in using marine reserves for marine resource management and conservation has largely been driven by the hope that reserves might counteract declines in fish populations and protect the biodiversity of the seas. However, the creation of reserves has led to dissension from some interested groups, such as fishermen, who fear that reserves will do more harm than good. These perceive...
متن کاملMatching objectives with indicators
The group began by reviewing the high-level objectives for ecosystem-based management in the eastern Bering Sea (and North Pacific) as defined by several management agencies for these regions, and summarized by Belgrano et al. (this report): • Protect ecosystem structure, functioning, and key processes (including diversity and habitats); • Account for food web interactions; • Manage regionally;...
