Modeling nature-based restoration potential across aquatic-terrestrial boundaries.
Today, few watersheds remain untouched by global change processes arising from climate warming, impoundments, channelization, water extraction, pollution, and urbanization. The need for restoration has resulted in a myriad of interventions, generally performed at small scales, which have limited measurable impact in restoring biodiversity and ecosystem functions. We propose bringing nature-based restoration (also referred to as rewilding) principles to rivers and their watersheds to allow freshwater ecosystems to heal themselves and present a case study example for the Wolastoq, a transboundary watershed on North America's east coast. We aimed to identify key areas for the provision of the ecosystem function secondary productivity in the watershed and explored how the existing network of protected lands contributes to its conservation. We first developed species distribution models for 94 aquatic insects and 5 aerial insectivores and then considered human footprint and existing protected areas when employing spatial prioritization to meet 2 area-based targets (17% and 30% [i.e., Aichi Biodiversity Target 11 and Canada's 30×30, respectively]) for conservation or restoration of freshwater secondary production. Current conservation protection in the watershed was predicted to be insufficient to protect either ecosystem function providers or receivers of secondary production. By considering integrated conservation strategies, restoration and conservation actions can be better allocated throughout habitat patches to ensure sustained provision of ecosystem functions across the watershed. Nature-based restoration and conservation can help inform Canada's area-based targets, providing a framework for incorporating ecosystem functions into conservation planning and offering practical insights for policy and restoration efforts aimed at safeguarding biodiversity.
期刊介绍:
Conservation Biology welcomes submissions that address the science and practice of conserving Earth's biological diversity. We encourage submissions that emphasize issues germane to any of Earth''s ecosystems or geographic regions and that apply diverse approaches to analyses and problem solving. Nevertheless, manuscripts with relevance to conservation that transcend the particular ecosystem, species, or situation described will be prioritized for publication.
