Abstract
⺠Spatial planning could improve the effectiveness of agri-environment schemes (AESs). ⺠We use Zonation software for allocation of AES for semi-natural grasslands. ⺠Connectivity and conservation value of each site influence prioritization. ⺠Highest ranking areas are partly different from what is currently managed. ⺠Policy and management practices need revising to facilitate spatial planning.
