Securing biodiversity values alongside ecosystem services and other socio-economic assets, is a priority in the European policy and territorial planning. Here, we design a landscape planning approach that identifies priority conservation areas and informs on their ecosystem services’ potential in the context of a legally binding spatial planning instrument in central Portugal. Our approach included a spatial prioritisation approach of biodiversity, a literature review on the potential supply of ecosystem services, the participation of political stakeholders, and expert-based field validation in the Municipality of Alvaiázere. Firstly, we used the decision-support software Marxan to help prioritising biodiversity conservation efforts. Then, we evaluated the potential supply of multiple ecosystem services from a systematic literature review. Finally, we selected priority areas for landscape planning and management through a participatory approach with local politicians, considering the relevance of those areas to safeguard biodiversity assets alongside ecosystem services’ potential supply for the region. A total of nine priority areas, with both high biodiversity values and potential for ecosystem services’ supply, were identified. For the first time in the country, those areas have been considered in the design of the main spatial planning instrument for the region, together with practical recommendations for in situ management. Our approach represents a first step to engage local administration in the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, focused on the protection and restoration of biodiverse areas with ecosystem services’ potential through legally binding landscape planning.

保护生物多样性价值以及生态系统服务和其他社会经济资产，是欧洲政策和领土规划的优先事项。在这里，我们设计了一种景观规划方法，在葡萄牙中部具有法律约束力的空间规划文书的背景下，确定优先保护区并告知其生态系统服务的潜力。我们的方法包括生物多样性的空间优先排序方法、关于生态系统服务潜在供应的文献综述、政治利益相关者的参与以及阿尔瓦泽雷市的专家实地验证。首先，我们使用决策支持软件 Marxan 来帮助确定生物多样性保护工作的优先级。然后，我们从系统的文献综述中评估了多种生态系统服务的潜在供应。最后，我们通过与当地政界人士的参与式方法选择了景观规划和管理的优先区域，考虑到这些区域与保护生物多样性资产以及生态系统服务对该地区的潜在供应的相关性。共确定了九个具有高生物多样性价值和生态系统服务供应潜力的优先领域。在该国首次在设计该地区的主要空间规划工具时考虑了这些地区，并提供了实用的建议 共确定了九个具有高生物多样性价值和生态系统服务供应潜力的优先领域。在该国首次在设计该地区的主要空间规划工具时考虑了这些地区，并提供了实用的建议 共确定了九个具有高生物多样性价值和生态系统服务供应潜力的优先领域。在该国首次在设计该地区的主要空间规划工具时考虑了这些地区，并提供了实用的建议就地管理。我们的方法是让地方行政部门参与 2030 年欧盟生物多样性战略的第一步，重点是通过具有法律约束力的景观规划来保护和恢复具有生态系统服务潜力的生物多样性区域。
