Abstract

For an adequate assessment and effective management of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the vast and extremely heterogeneous territory of Russia, a multilevel approach is required that integrates the tasks of biodiversity conservation on different hierarchical levels (diversity of ecosystems and species) and on different levels of territorial administration. Using the example of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation, a preliminary methodology for prioritizing territories for biodiversity conservation at three levels of government (federal district, subjects of the Russian Federation, and municipal districts) is considered. To prioritize the territories, the rarity indicators of generalized ecosystem types within these territories and the value of territories for the conservation of “red-listed” animal and plant species are used. It is shown that the high-priority for biodiversity conservation purposes generalized types of ecosystems can be distinguished both on different territorial levels and in different territories within the same level. There is also a contradiction between the management tasks of preserving the diversity of species, requiring spacious habitats and the conservation of rare ecosystems that have a small area. These contradictions can be resolved through the development of environmental strategies for different levels of territorial administration.

以欧洲俄罗斯中心为例，评估全境生物多样性保护情况并确定优先次序

摘要为充分评估和有效管理俄罗斯幅员辽阔且极其多样化的领土上的生物多样性和生态系统服务，需要采用多层次方法，将不同层次（生态系统和物种多样性）和不同级别的领土管理的生物多样性保护任务结合起来。以俄罗斯联邦中央联邦区为例，考虑了在三级政府（联邦区、俄罗斯联邦主体和市辖区）中确定保护生物多样性领土优先次序的初步方法。为了确定这些地区的优先次序，使用了这些地区内一般生态系统类型的稀有性指标以及这些地区对保护 "红色名录 "动植物物种的价值。结果表明，无论是在不同的地域级别，还是在同一级别中的不同地域，都可以区分出对生物多样性保护具有高度优先性的一般生态系统类型。此外，保护物种多样性、要求宽敞的栖息地和保护面积较小的稀有生态系统等管理任务之间也存在矛盾。这些矛盾可以通过制定不同领土管理级别的环境战略来解决。

期刊介绍： Contemporary Problems of Ecology is a multidisciplinary periodical that publishes original works on the following subjects: theoretical and methodical issues of ecology, regional aspects of ecology, regional ecological disasters, structure and functioning of ecosystems, anthropogenic transformation of ecosystems. All basic aspects of modern ecology, including the most complicated interactions between living organisms and their environment, are presented. Some of the journal issues are dedicated to global changes in biological diversity at various levels of organization (populations, species, ecosystems) principles and methods of nature conservation.
