The scientists in this study were interested in exploring how the environmental conditions for wildlife species might change as landowners make decisions about replanting trees after harvesting. The scientists know that people tend to make decisions that maximize their profits. If landowners are paid to replant their land in something other than current species, the current habitat for wildlife may change.
