Abstract Plans for expanding protected area systems (prioritizations) need to fulfill conservation objectives. They also account other factors, such as economic feasibility and anthropogenic land‐use requirements. Although prioritizations are often generated with decision support tools, most tools have limitations that hinder their use decision‐making. We outlined how the prioritizr R package ( https://prioritizr.net ) can be used systematic prioritization. This tool provides a flexible interface build planning problems. It leverage variety of commercial (e.g., Gurobi) open‐source CBC SYMPHONY) exact algorithm solvers identify optimal solutions in short period. is compatible spatially explicit ESRI Shapefile, GeoTIFF) nonspatial tabular Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet) data formats. Additionally, it functionality evaluating prioritizations, assessing relative importance different places selected by To showcase package, we applied case study based Washington state (United States) which developed prioritization improve coverage native avifauna. accounted land acquisition costs, existing areas, might not suitable establishment, spatial fragmentation. conducted benchmark analysis examine performance solvers.

Abstract As part of the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (K‐M GBF), signatory nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) aim to protect at least 30% planet by 2030 (Target 3). This bold ambition has been widely celebrated and its implementation seen as pivotal for overall success K‐M GBF. However, given that many CBD prioritised quantity (e.g., area) over quality important areas biodiversity) when attempting meet their 2010 Aichi protected area commitments, it is critical focus protecting those terrestrial, inland waters marine have best chance halting reversing biodiversity loss thus contribute Goal A Here we provide a review type need prioritise implementing Target 3 relates ‘quality’: particular importance ecosystem functions services, are effectively conserved managed through ecologically representative, well‐connected equitably governed systems . We show data available 12 distinct conservation service elements can be mapped and, if conserved, will (with appropriate management) help broad intention 3. highlight examples planning methods utilized so these targeted protection. discuss issues related trade‐offs regarding how amongst them well operationalise some vaguer concepts like ‘representation’ ‘ecosystem services’ they achieve outcomes biodiversity.

Marine protected area (MPAs) networks can buffer marine ecosystems from the impacts of climate change by allowing species to redistribute as conditions and reducing other stressors. There are, however, few examples where has been considered in MPA network design. In this paper, we assess how considerations were integrated into design a newly released Northern Shelf Bioregion British Columbia, Canada, then evaluate resulting against projected physical biogeochemical changes biological responses. We found that representation, replication, size spacing recommendations phase met most cases. Furthermore, despite varying degrees temperature, dissolved oxygen, aragonite saturation across network, suitable habitat for demersal fish is remain some redistribution among sites. also mid-depth MPAs are particularly important persistence, move deeper avoid warming shallower areas. Our results highlight representative with adequate incorporates areas trajectory, should change.

Abstract Climate change is a multidimensional phenomenon. As such, no single metric can capture all trajectories of and associated impacts. While numerous metrics exist to measure climate change, they tend focus on central tendencies neglect the multidimensionality extreme weather events (EWEs). EWEs differ in their frequency, duration, intensity, be described for temperature, precipitation, wind speed, while considering different thresholds defining “extremeness.” We review existing EWE outline framework classifying interpreting them light foreseeable impacts biodiversity. Using an example drawn from Caribbean Central America, we show that reflect unequal spatial patterns exposure across region. Based available evidence, discuss how such relate threats biological populations, empirically demonstrating ecologically informed help processes as mangrove recovery. Unveiling complexity affecting biodiversity only possible through mobilisation plethora metrics. The proposed represents step forward over assessments using dimensions or averages highly variable time series.

Abstract Climate change and anthropogenic activities threaten biodiversity ecosystem services. Climate-smart conservation plans address these challenges by focusing protection in climate-resilient areas. However, integrating climate the design of is often deemed too expensive, as it may require larger networks or protecting more costly sites. Using mangroves a case study, we evaluated efficiency climate-smart versus climate-naïve reserve networks. We found that could provide sizable benefits for relatively small increases protected area. Moreover, transboundary plans, involving cooperation among countries, less area protect than nation-by-nation plans. Implementing strategies would improve current network areas mangroves, which currently has poor resilience. These findings also be applied other ecosystems.
