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 ...

Determining the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on the ecosystem multifunctionality in a desert-oasis ecotone

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Questions: Differences in the vertical structures of communities, nutrient cycling, multiple diversity attributes, and environmental factors are important forces driving ecosystem multifunctionality.

Impacts of human pressure and climate on biodiversity–multifunctionality relationships on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Many studies have investigated the effects of environmental context on biodiversity or multifunctionality in alpine regions, but it is uncertain how human pressure and climate may affect their relationships.

Publisher Correction: Redefining ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2018
In the version of this Perspective originally published, in the figure in Box 3 the middle panel of the top row was incorrectly labelled '50% threshold-plus'; it should have read '50% threshold'. This has now been corrected.

Effects of plant diversity and abiotic factors on the multifunctionality of an arid desert ecosystem.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Many studies suggest that species diversity and abiotic factors promote ecosystem multifunctionality. However, whether ecosystem multifunctionality is impacted by phylogenetic diversity remains controversial.

Soil community richness and composition jointly influence the multifunctionality of soil along the forest-steppe ecotone

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Soils harbor an enormous organism which provide multiple ecosystem functions in the terrestrial ecosystem. However, the potential effects of soil biodiversity on soil multifunctionality (multiple ecosystem functions simultaneously provided by soil) have ...

Environment and time drive the links between the species richness and ecosystem multifunctionality from multitrophic freshwater mesocosms

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Understanding the link between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is imperative for ecosystem-based management. The role of multitrophic diversity in sustaining multifunctionality remains unclear, especially in highly diverse aquatic ecosystems.

Several scales of biodiversity affect ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Society values landscapes that reliably provide many ecosystem functions. As the study of ecosystem functioning expands to include more locations, time spans, and functions, the functional importance of individual species is becoming more apparent. However, the functional importance of individual species does not necessarily translate to the functional

Precipitation preferences alter the relative importance of herbaceous plant diversity for multifunctionality in the drylands of China

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
BackgroundMultiple components of biodiversity are excellent predictors of precipitation-induced changes in ecosystem function. However, the importance of differing scales (alpha versus beta) is usually overlooked in biodiversity–ecosystem ...
