This work means a lot to me—both scientifically and personally.
Endless gratitude to the wonderful team who believed in my weird ideas from the beginning

The takeaway:
🧠 Biodiversity effects in forests are not only about how many species but how they’re arranged.
📐 Spatial design matters—and we should take it seriously in reforestation & afforestation efforts.

Our results?
More spatially mixed (heterogeneous) forests:
✅ Grow more biomass
✅ Distribute litterfall more evenly
✅ Boost decomposition and nutrient cycling
🌍 Especially in more diverse (8-species) communities!

Reforestation isn’t just about planting more trees. It’s also about how we plant them.
Using the data from the BEF-China experiment, we simulated how different spatial arrangements of tree species affect:
🌱 Tree growth
🍂 Litterfall
🌿 Decomposition
