Jim is sampling diversity and productivity in several reconstructed ecosystems. Research on biodiversity and ecosystem function (BEF) theory has long suggested that diversity is positively related to productivity; Jim's work will test this axiom within the context of restored ecosystems. Two restoration sites that have been sampled are UW Arboretum's Curtis Prairie and a Tijuana Estuary salt marsh. |
