Functional trait-based Multi-objective Optimization of Plant Communities for Ecological Restoration under Climate Change

This repository contains all MATLAB code, data, and reproducibility material used in the study: “Functional trait–based multi-objective optimisation of plant communities under contrasting climatic scenarios” (Micalizzi et al., 2025). The deposit includes: Species functional trait dataset (P50, SLA, LDMC) MATLAB App (SpeciesSelectionOptimizationApp_SUB.mlapp) implementing NSGA-II multi-objective optimisation Scripts for convergence analysis (pairwise overlap, KDE density estimation) Scripts for Bray–Curtis validation against field-genus composition Full workflow outputs for both climate scenarios (Near Normal and Extra Dry) README.md with instructions for reproducing all analyses
