It has been recognized that well-connected networks of protected areas are needed to halt the continued loss global biodiversity. The recently signed Kunming-Montreal biodiversity agreement commits countries protecting 30% terrestrial lands in by 2030. To meet these ambitious targets, land-use planners and conservation practitioners will require tools identify important for connectivity track future changes. In this study we present methods using circuit theoretic models with a subset sentinel park nodes evaluate network. We assigned lower cost natural within areas, under assumption animal movement parks should be less costly given regulation activities. found mean pairwise effective resistance (MPER) as an indicator overall network connectivity, were able detect changes response simulated As expected, MPER increased addition high-cost developments decreased new, low-cost areas. tested our node method evaluating area province Ontario, Canada. also calculated isolation index, which highlighted differences between north south province. Our can help provide ecologists baseline estimates used future.

Actions to protect against biodiversity loss and climate change will require a framework that addresses synergies between these interrelated issues. In this study, we present methods for identifying areas important the implementation of nature-based solutions conservation by intersecting high-resolution spatial data carbon storage landscape connectivity. We explored congruence connectivity in Ontario, Canada examined effectiveness current protected coverage. found weak positive relationship stocks connectivity; however, our maps revealed large hotspots, with high values both indices, throughout boreal forest northern peatlands smaller, isolated settled landscapes south. Location hotspots varied depending on whether considered or soil carbon. Further, results show conserved Ontario only cover 13% highest Protection restoration maximize co-benefits would make significant contributions toward ambitious national targets reduce greenhouse gas emissions conserve biodiversity.

This study focuses on the Xiaoxing’an Mountains, examining evolution of ecological security patterns and suggesting optimization strategies by integrating carbon storage landscape connectivity, using multi-source data from 2000, 2010, 2020. The provides a comprehensive assessment region’s estimating stocks InVEST model, analyzing connectivity through MSPA, spatially extracting corridors nodes circuit theory. key findings are as follows: (1) High-value areas for primarily concentrated in southeastern northwestern forested mountain regions; (2) Ecological source predominantly southeast dispersed north, with total area peaking 2010 at 47,054.10 km2; (3) Northern dense, radiating spider-web pattern, pinch points corridor termini; sparse, mainly short, fewer points; (4) barriers increased 280% over past 20 years. Four major barrier zones were identified, all located junction forest farmland northwest, composed wetlands, drylands, rural residential areas; (5) Based evolutionary characteristics Security Pattern years, an “axis, two belts, four zones, multiple cores” planning framework was proposed, along corresponding strategies. theoretical support practical guidance enhancing regional network stability, optimizing strengthening sink functions.

Abstract Cities are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of biodiversity loss and climate change. Urban greenspaces important ecosystems that can conserve help offset carbon footprint urban areas. However, despite large-scale tree planting restoration initiatives in cities, it is not well known where trees or vegetation should be planted restored achieve multiple benefits. We considered as nature-based solutions for mitigation conservation planning. Using bivariate mapping, we examined spatial synergies trade-offs between bird functional diversity storage ten Canadian cities spanning a gradient geography population, modelled relationships attributes both amount carbon. found weakly positively correlated across however, this relationship varied strength, direction significance. Our maps highlight areas within our target could managed, restored, protected maximize biodiversity. Nationwide, results also show forest management strategies promote increases canopy cover proportion needle-leaved species potential win-win study shows NbS always generalizable regions. National policies guide municipalities using regional priorities science advice, since promoting one region may, fact, reduce another.

Urban greening is a critical strategy for sustainable urban development, climate change mitigation, and biodiversity conservation. However, the effectiveness of varies depending on specific goals (e.g., enhancing biodiversity, reducing heat, or both) their spatial implementation. To address variability in greening, we propose decision support model based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II). This aims to optimize locations maximize biomass density, mitigate heat stress, simultaneously improve landscape connectivity. Applied Suwon City, South Korea, model's was evaluated against Business-As-Usual (BAU) scenario across four scenarios: Connectivity-based, Biomass density-based, Heat stress-based, an Integrated-based scenario. The integrated approach, balancing trade-offs between ecological benefits implementation costs, outperformed BAU by 8.84%. outcome indicated significant improvements density connectivity, despite highlighting weaker correlation with stress mitigation. Our findings underscore necessity planning approach as it can contribute toward attainment development goals. Additionally, proposing app-based policymakers utilize, our outputs should enable reconciliation multiple environmental objectives landscapes.

Urban green infrastructure (UGI) is a network composed of natural and semi-natural areas, such as greenspaces, open water bodies, designed to enhance the provision ecosystem services meet needs expectations local communities. UGIs should be accessible improve well-being health their users, protect biodiversity, allow for enjoyment resources. The study proposes methodological approach defining UGI, conceived areas connected by urban ecological corridors suitable providing climate regulation, flood risk mitigation, outdoor recreation, biodiversity habitat quality enhancement. methodology applied functional area (FUA) City Cagliari, Italy. analysis results show that with high values carbon storage sequestration, enhancement are particularly part UGI. Although recreation appear less significant, this service relevant within Cagliari FUA. However, characterized mitigation different behavior, which highlights how presence impermeable surface associated loss patch connectivity.
