Optimizing biodiversity offsetting for habitat succession and colonization dynamics
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity offsetting aims to compensate for ecological losses from development through conservation and restoration. However, its long‐term outcomes under repeated impact–offset cycles remain uncertain. Using a conceptual forest succession model, we evaluated how offset outcomes are affected by interactions among compensation scale ...
