Representation of ecosystem services by tiered conservation strategies

This research paper evaluates how tiered conservation strategies—combining protected areas, restrictive zoning, and incentive payments—represent four ecosystem services in England compared to single conservation strategies.

• In England, tiered conservation strategies consistently aligned with the highest levels of stored carbon, occasionally aligned with high agricultural production and biodiversity, but never aligned with high recreational value.
• Tiered conservation strategies are frequently used in England and exhibit a bias toward upland regions.
• The author suggests that future assessments of conservation strategy effectiveness must fully account for the overlap between different strategies to determine which are most successful.
