Tyler & coauthor propose a theoretical framework for #plant diversity-structural complexity relationships. We've examined the consequences of VSC in many #ecosystems, but have paid less attention to the actual mechanisms for the variation in VSC. Until now. 🧵2/5
Using #ActiveRemoteSensing data from 29 studies, Tyler found that #vegetation structural complexity was nearly always higher at sites with greater #plant diversity 🧵3/5
These results suggest that #restoration of #biodiversity & #vegetation structure are compatible management goals, & that they can be simultaneously achieved by facilitating the establishment & persistence of diverse #plant communities 🧵4/5
