Abstract

Determination of service area perimeters, within which a bank can sell its mitigation cedit, is at the forefront of the interplay between bank owners' economic demands and biodiversity conservation regulation. Our broad-scale analysis of current service area perimeters identified influential determining factors for 135 SA maps of 53 conservation banks in California. We also introduced the "Bank-Service area" (B-S) rate as an indicator of tension between economic and environmental stakeholders. As the result of a U.S. federal guidance in 2003 that SA perimeters should correspond to recovery units, approximately half ot the explained factors were recovery units. The B-S rate appears to have increased since 2000. Including the SA itself, this rate is expected to converge into certain values.
