Conservation Planning in a Changing World
-
Conservation planning is the process of locating, configuring, implementing and maintaining areas that
are managed to promote the persistence of biodiversity and other natural values. Conservation planning is inherently
spatial. The science behind it has solved important spatial problems and increasingly influenced practice. To
be effective, however, conservation planning must deal better with two types of change. First, biodiversity is not
static in time or space but generated and maintained by natural processes. Second, humans are altering the planet
in diverse ways at ever faster rates.

Conserving the Stage: Climate Change and the Geophysical Underpinnings of Species Diversity
-
Conservationists have proposed methods for adapting to climate change that assume species distributions are primarily explained by climate variables. The key idea is to use the understanding of species-climate relationships to map corridors and to identify regions of faunal stability or high species turnover. An alternative approach is to adopt an evolutionary timescale and ask ultimately what factors control total diversity, so that over the long run the major drivers of total species richness can be protected. Within a single climatic region, the temperate area encompassing all of the Northeastern U.S. and Maritime Canada, we hypothesized that geologic factors may take precedence over climate in explaining diversity patterns. If geophysical diversity does drive regional diversity, then conserving geophysical settings may offer an approach to conservation that protects diversity under both current and future climates.
