Fig. 5: Conceptual framework used to examine the impacts of regulated development and compensation activities on biodiversity, under various policy settings and local conditions.

From: Local conditions and policy design determine whether ecological compensation can achieve No Net Loss goals

Fig. 5

We manipulated compensation policy settings (see Fig. 2), measured their impact on biodiversity across four case studies that differed in local conditions (Table 1), and compared the biodiversity gains made by compensation activities to the biodiversity losses due to regulated development.
