Biodiversity and Geography [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007 Abstract We combine a new economic geography model of agglomeration and dispersion of economic activity with an ecological–economic model of species diversity to examine optimal policies of biodiversity conservation in a two-region world. Species diversity is inevitably impaired by anthropogenic impact.

Biodiverse Planting for Carbon and Biodiversity on Indigenous Land
PLoS ONE, 2014 Carbon offset mechanisms have been established to mitigate climate change through changes in land management. Regulatory frameworks enable landowners and managers to generate saleable carbon credits on domestic and international markets. Identifying and managing the associated co-benefits and dis-benefits involved in the adoption of carbon offset ...
