摘要：In land planning strategies, methods to quantify ecosystem services (ESs) are now used tocomplement biodiversity assessments. Tension arises when areas important for biodiversitydo not spatially co-occur with important areas for ESs. We investigate the effectiveness ofprotected areas in simultaneously protecting biodiversity and ESs in central Colombia andidentify complementary areas. We map, integrate using a multi-criteria technique and correlate five indicators (sensitive species, ecological systems, habitat quality, scenic beauty andwater provision). Reflecting the uncertainty in criteria weights, multiple maps were createdand overlain with current protected areas to investigate their effectiveness. A consensus andan uncertainty map were calculated to identify multifunctional areas (high value for biodiversity and high provision of ESs and low uncertainty). Protected areas show low to intermediate levels of effectiveness (3–56% percentage overlap with simulated areas), with waterprovision being the service least effectively protected. Indicators do not show high levels ofcorrelation (all p < 0.57). Sensitive species are negatively correlated with all other indicators.High representativeness levels were found around the city of Bogotá; still, extensive multifunctional areas are not contemplated under any protection status. We advocate the use ofour approach to identify multi-purpose areas that are robust to divergent stakeholderopinions.
