Literature review reveals geographic and taxonomic clustering of temporarily conserved areas in North America, highlighting their understudied role in meeting global biodiversity targets.

Key Points

Synthesize peer-reviewed literature on terrestrial temporarily conserved areas across Canada, the United States, and Mexico to evaluate their prevalence, application, and conservation effectiveness.
Conducted a systematic search on Web of Science for peer-reviewed literature published from 2000 to 2021.
Identified and analyzed 27 relevant studies evaluating terrestrial temporarily conserved areas across North America.
Identified that 77% of studies evaluated the protection of a single life stage in migratory species, and 61% focused on breeding or staging habitats for migratory birds.
Determined that 93% of studies targeted human-driven threats, predominantly on public lands within coastal regions, the Great Plains, and the Mississippi Valley.
Found that short-term and experimental studies predominated the literature, leaving the broader ecological, social, and economic outcomes of temporarily conserved areas unclear.
