Abstract:Science is a journey where innovation leads to advance and new understandings across disciplines. In this aspect, evolutionary game theory has fundamentally improved our understandings of individual adaptation & resource usage strategies, species interactions, vegetation structure and functions. In this talk, I would focus on forests and first present the paradigm of ‘faster tree growth, faster mortality and shorter carbon turnover time’, thus constraining historical and projected forest carbon storage in a resource enriched atmosphere. I will then elaborate how the faster tree growth vs increased tree mortality tradeoff can be explained by an evolutionary game theory framework. Finally I will show how the evolutionary game theory could be leveraged the lens to understand and predict the continuous biological traits/strategies and its linkage with vegetation structure and ecosystem functions.
