- Abstract:
- Conservation implications: Our analyses can identify areas that are hotspots of potentially higher resilience to environmental change, thus informing conservation prioritisation. Educational Impact: This will take place by training PDRAs and students within this project on approaches to quantify forest resilience and functional composition. Educators can use the research outcomes to teach students about the intricate relationships within ecosystems and the practical applications of ecological research in real-world scenarios.
