Scale Effects on the Relationship between Plant Diversity and Ecosystem Multifunctionality in Arid Desert Areas [PDF]

open access: yesForests, 2022
Understanding the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality is popular topic in ecological research. Although scale is an important factor driving changes in biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality, we still know little ...

Size matters for linking traits to ecosystem multifunctionality

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2022
A priority research field addresses how to optimize diverse ecosystem services to people, including biodiversity support, regulatory, utilitarian and cultural services. This field may benefit from linking ecosystem services to the sizes of different body parts of organisms, with functional traits as the go-between.

Elevated ozone decreases the multifunctionality of belowground ecosystems

Global Change Biology, 2022
AbstractElevated tropospheric ozone (O3) affects the allocation of biomass aboveground and belowground and influences terrestrial ecosystem functions. However, how belowground functions respond to elevated O3 concentrations ([O3]) remains unclear at the global scale.

Multifunctionality and Biodiversity of Forest Ecosystems

Contemporary Problems of Ecology, 2020
This article dwells upon the current understanding of the multifunctionality of forest ecosystems and links between multifunctionality and biodiversity, as well as the trade-offs and synergy between the ecosystem functions (EFs) and services of forests.

Ecosystem restoration and belowground multifunctionality: A network view

Ecological Applications, 2022
Abstract Ecological restoration is essential to reverse land degradation worldwide. Most studies have assessed the restoration of ecosystem functions individually, as opposed to a holistic view. Here we developed a network‐based ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) framework to identify key functions in evaluating EMF restoration ...

Plants, soil properties and microbes directly and positively drive ecosystem multifunctionality in a plantation chronosequence [PDF]

open access: yesLand Degradation and Development, 2022
Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) is the main plantation species in the subtropical region of China. However, the shift in ecosystem multifunctionality with stand development remains largely unexplored for these plantations.

Ecosystem multifunctionality in metacommunities

Ecology, 2016
Abstract Ecosystem multifunctionality, the simultaneous production of multiple ecosystem functions, depends on community diversity, composition, productivity, and spatial scale. In metacommunities, each of these community properties is affected by how species disperse between local patches to track environmental change.

Land use intensification alters ecosystem multifunctionality via loss of biodiversity and changes to functional composition [PDF]

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2015
Global change, especially land-use intensification, affects human well-being by impacting the deliv-ery of multiple ecosystem services (multifunctionality).

Optimizing the Multifunctionality of Tropical Peatland Ecosystem

2023
Ecosystem Services (ES) study, which initially intended to capture externalities produced by economic activity, currently has been developed and expanded into numerous global frameworks. The multidimensional approach made the ES study applicable to a wide-ranging ecosystem, including peatland.
