Synthetic Denitrifying Communities Reveal a Positive and Dynamic Biodiversity-Ecosystem Functioning Relationship during Experimental Evolution

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Biodiversity is vital for ecosystem functions and services, and many studies have reported positive, negative, or neutral biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships in plant and animal systems.

Built Environment Factors (BEF) and Residential Land Carbon Emissions (RLCE)

Buildings, 2022
Evaluating the effects of built environment factors (BEF) on residential land carbon emissions (RLCE) is an effective way to reduce RLCE and promote low-carbon development from the perspective of urban planning.

Going beyond richness: Modelling the BEF relationship using species identity, evenness, richness and species interactions via the DImodels R package

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Biodiversity and ecosystem function (BEF) studies aim to understand how ecosystems respond to a gradient of species diversity. Generalised Diversity‐Interactions (DI) models are suitable for analysing the BEF relationship.

Biomass expansion factor and root-to-shoot ratio for Pinus in Brazil

Carbon Balance and Management, 2011
The Biomass Expansion Factor (BEF) and the Root-to-Shoot Ratio (R) are variables used to quantify carbon stock in forests. They are often considered as constant or species/area specific values in most studies.
