Optimal planning of biodiversity conservation and habitat location is paramount for the cost-effective implementation of nature and biodiversity conservation measures. Established approaches for land use planning and conservation site selection however might not be optimal in a world with...

Climate change causes range shifts of species and habitats, thus making existing reserve networks less suitable in the future. In principle, reserve networks may be adapted to climate change in two ways: by providing additional funds and / or by allowing for the sale of sites to liquidate funds...

Paying landowners for conservation results rather than paying for the measures intended to provide such results is a promising approach for biodiversity conservation. However, a key roadblock for the widespread implementation of such result-based payment schemes are the frequent difficulties to...

Climate change poses a key challenge for biodiversity conservation. In particular, conservation agencies have to spatially allocate conservation measures in a way that enables species to move with climate change. Moreover, they can choose two main governance modes: (1) buy land to implement...

Climate change causes range shifts of species and habitats, thus making existing reserve networks less suitable in the future. Climate change hence changes the comparative advantage of some sites over others with respect to "producing" habitat. In order to maintain cost-effectiveness, reserve...

Climate change causes range shifts of species and habitats, thus making existing reserve networks less suitable in the future. Existing optimisation procedures hence need to be adapted in order to account for changes in the spatial distribution of habitat types as well as their relative...

We present the concept of a software-based multi-level information system for authorities (SMIBe) designed to digital evaluate agri-environmental and climate measures (AES) for grazing. SMIBe enables authorities to summarize key parameters of grazing AES and record them in SMIBe for further...
