Measuring ecosystem multifunctionality across scales [PDF]

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Multifunctionality refers to the capacity of an area to supply multiple ecosystem functions or services. While many conceptual and methodological advances have focused on defining and quantifying multifunctionality, the challenge of dealing with cross ...

Redefining ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2018
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in ecosystem multifunctionality, a concept that has developed in the largely separate fields of biodiversity-ecosystem function and land management research. Here we discuss the merit of the multifunctionality concept, the advances it has delivered, the challenges it faces and solutions to these challenges ...

Functional trait diversity maximizes ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017
Understanding the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has been a core ecological research topic over the last decades. Although a key hypothesis is that the diversity of functional traits determines ecosystem functioning, we do not know how much trait diversity is needed to maintain multiple ecosystem functions simultaneously ...

Linking ecosystem condition and landscape context in the conservation of ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]

Biological Conservation, 2020
Abstract Nature reserves are often implemented to restore the condition of habitats, protect populations of harvested species and to protect, as well as enhance, ecological functions. It is, however, not clear whether and how the spatial context of reserves influences their capacity to promote this ecosystem multifunctionality.

Ecosystem Multifunctionality [PDF]

, 2017
Ecosystem multifunctionality can be defined as the ability of an ecosystem to provide multiple functions and services. While this definition appears intuitively simple, ecosystem multifunctionality can be difficult to define and measure in practice. While multifunctionality measures allow the overall performance of an ecosystem to be reduced to simple ...

Locally rare species influence grassland ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Species diversity promotes the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality). However, the relative functional importance of rare and common species in driving the biodiversity–multifunctionality relationship remains unknown. We studied the relationship between the diversity of rare and common species (according to their local ...

Plant Species Richness and Ecosystem Multifunctionality in Global Drylands [PDF]

Science, 2012

Enhancing economic multifunctionality without compromising multidiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality via forest enrichment. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Enriching tree species–poor and less productive forests by introducing economically valuable species is a strategy proposed for achieving multipurpose forest management. However, empirical evidence from managed and mature forests on the impact of this enrichment on ecological (multidiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality) and economic dimensions ...
