Context Spatial prioritization is an analytical approach that can be used to provide decision support in spatial conservation planning (SCP), and in tasks such as conservation area network design, zoning, planning for impact avoidance or targeting of habitat management or restoration. Methods Based on literature, we summarize the role of connectivity as one component of relevance in the broad structure of spatial prioritization in both marine and terrestrial realms. Results Partially diffuse, directed connectivity can be approximated in Zonation-based multi-criteria SCP by applying hydrodynamic modelling, knowledge on species traits, and information on species occurrences and quality of habitats. Sources and destinations of larvae or propagules can be identified as separate spatial layers and taken into account in full-scale spatial prioritization involving data on biota, as well as economic factors, threats, and administrative constraints. While population connectivity is an important determinant of metapopulation persistence, the importance of marine connectivity depends on species traits and the marine environment studied. At one end of the continuum are species that occupy isolated habitats and have long pelagic larval durations in deeper sea areas with strong directional currents. At the other extreme are species with short pelagic durations that occupy fragmented habitats in shallow topographically complex sea areas with weak and variable currents. Conclusions We conclude that the same objectives, methods, and analysis structures are applicable to both terrestrial and marine spatial prioritization. Marine spatial conservation planning, marine spatial planning, marine zoning, etc., can be implemented using methods originated in the terrestrial realm of planning.

空间保护规划中的海洋连通性：来自陆地领域的类似物

上下文空间优先排序是一种分析方法，可用于为空间保护规划 (SCP) 以及保护区网络设计、分区、避免影响规划或栖息地管理或恢复目标等任务提供决策支持。方法基于文献，我们总结了连通性作为海洋和陆地领域空间优先级广泛结构中相关性组成部分的作用。结果 在基于分区的多标准 SCP 中，可以通过应用流体动力学模型、物种特征知识以及物种出现和栖息地质量的信息来近似部分扩散、定向连接。幼虫或繁殖体的来源和目的地可以确定为单独的空间层，并在涉及生物群数据以及经济因素、威胁和行政限制的全面空间优先级排序中予以考虑。虽然种群连通性是复合种群持久性的重要决定因素，但海洋连通性的重要性取决于物种特征和所研究的海洋环境。在连续体的一端是占据孤立栖息地的物种，并且在具有强烈定向流的更深海区域具有较长的远洋幼体持续时间。另一个极端是具有短远洋持续时间的物种，它们在浅海地形复杂的海域占据分散的栖息地，并具有弱和多变的水流。结论 我们得出的结论是，相同的目标、方法、和分析结构适用于陆地和海洋空间优先排序。海洋空间保护规划、海洋空间规划、海洋分区等，可以使用源自陆地规划领域的方法实施。
