Measuring ecosystem multifunctionality across scales

open access: yesEnvironmental 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 ...

Alpine steppe degradation weakens ecosystem multifunctionality through the decline in climax dominant species on the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe diversity and dominant species of plant communities are vital for maintaining grassland ecosystem multifunctionality. However, grassland degradation can disrupt plant community diversity, dominant species, and their linkages with ...

Beyond the single index: Investigating ecological mechanisms underpinning ecosystem multifunctionality with network analysis [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Ecosystems simultaneously deliver multiple functions that relate to both the activities of resident species and environmental conditions. One of the biggest challenges in multifunctionality assessment is balancing analytical simplicity with ecosystem ...

Food web structure and ecosystem multifunctionality in a subsidized coastal ecosystem. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep
Abstract The structure and functioning of all ecosystems face growing threats, ranging from local development to global climate change. Ecosystems with little to no in situ primary production may be disproportionately dependent on resources from other ecosystems.

The ecological clusters of soil organisms drive the ecosystem multifunctionality under long-term fertilization

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2022
Long-term fertilization is known to impact the biodiversity and community structures of soil organisms, which are responsible for multiple soil ecosystem functions (multifunctionality).
