| Abstract | To halt biodiversity loss, market-based conservation policies known as biodiversity offsetting are increasingly implemented in developed countries. These policies allow the destruction of natural habitats if new habitat of equal quality has been created elsewhere. Yet, even at constant total habitat area, patch relocations can be detrimental for species. Using an analytical formula for metapopulation viability, we provide understanding and novel insights into the interplay between the landscape attributes patch number, connectivity, and level of patch turnover. We show that both landscape and species characteristics must be considered to ensure that biodiversity offsetting is effective and derive guidelines for the design of such policies. |
