Ranking Natura 2000 habitats and Natura 2000 areas for nature
Abstract
We ranked 1 541 Finnish Natura 2000 areas and their 69 different habitat types for ecological restoration and nature management based on their potential for cost-effective ecosystem improvement. We did it by Zonation software and its principles: complementarity, connectivity, condition and cost-effectiveness.
We had biodiversity data (GIS: location and current state of 67 N2000 habitats and threatened species) and expert knowledge of improvement methods,
effects and costs.
As results we got maps, curves of trade-offs and also a ranking list of Natura 2000 areas.
