- Additional information
- The article investigated the importance of measuring multiple dimensions of diversity. This is significant because high diversity vegetation assemblies – expressed as either taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity – are vital for the functioning of ecosystems and delivery of vital ecosystem services. The study showed that different diversity metrics provide complementary, but also contrasting outcomes, and attempts to maximise one, may risk eroding another. The line of enquiry has led to the completion of one PhD dissertation and submission of one fellowship application and two grant applications
