We show that whether intensive or extensive farming is most beneficial to biodiversity depends on the equilibrium of … agricultural markets. With higher production costs, extensive farming tends to be more beneficial to biodiversity than intensive … farming, except when there is a very high degree of convexity between biodiversity and yield. Extensive farming is detrimental …

The spatial pattern of landscape reconstruction makes a substantial difference to environmental outcomes. We develop a spatially explicit bio-economic model that optimises the reconstruction of a heavily cleared landscape through revegetation. The model determines the spatial priorities for...
