Background
Forest ecosystems with multiple tree species are more resilient to environmental changes and support a wider wildlife population than ecosystems with a single dominating tree species, but are not necessarily associated with superior economic outcomes. The contradictory evaluation of the ecosystems services is not confined to multiple tree species ecosystems, but is amplified by the representation of species composition. (from Strimbu et al 2018).
Objective
Develope quantitative models for mixed species ecosystems
