1 Introduction As researchers in an interdisciplinary field, ecologists increasingly work with communities, land managers, and policy makers who rely on them not only to understand ecological processes but also to inform decisions about land use, restoration, climate adaptation, and biodiversity conservation (Bufford et al. 2025; Groffman et al. 2010).

For many practical applications, this has not yet been demonstrated. Research therefore relies heavily on theoretical models and simulations to explore where and under what conditions such an advantage may realistically be achieved in the future.
