Abstract
Spatial prioritization could help target

conservation actions directed to maintain both

biodiversity and ecosystem services. We delineate

hotspots and coldspots of two biodiversity conservation

features and five regulating and cultural services by

incorporating an indicator of ‘threat’, i.e. timber harvest

profitability for forest areas in Telemark (Norway). We

found hotspots, where high values of biodiversity,

ecosystem services and threat coincide, ranging from 0.1

to 7.1% of the area, depending on varying threshold levels.

Targeting of these areas for conservation follows reactive

conservation approaches. In coldspots, high biodiversity

and ecosystem service values coincide with low levels of

threat, and cover 0.1–3.4% of the forest area. These areas

might serve proactive conservation approaches at lower

opportunity cost (foregone timber harvest profits). We

conclude that a combination of indicators of biodiversity,

ecosystem services and potential threat is an appropriate

approach for spatial prioritization of proactive and reactive

conservation strategies.
