Nanoplastics alter ecosystem multifunctionality and may increase global warming potential [PDF]

, 2023
Although the presence of nanoplastics in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems has received increasing attention, little is known about its potential effect on ecosystem processes and functions.

The role of recurrent disturbances for ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]

Ecology, 2013
Ecosystem functioning is threatened by an increasing number of anthropogenic stressors, creating a legacy of disturbance that undermines ecosystem resilience. However, few empirical studies have assessed to what extent an ecosystem can tolerate repeated disturbances and sustain its multiple functions.

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.

Ecosystem multifunctionality of forest patches in the tropics: A systematic literature review [PDF]

, 2022
The ability of forests to provide multiple ecosystem functions and services including Nature’s Contributions to People is a key concern for achieving their sustainability.

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 ...

Stakeholder priorities determine the impact of an alien tree invasion on ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]

, 2021
While the ecological impact of environmental change drivers, such as alien plant invasions, is relatively well described, quantitative social-ecological studies detailing how these changes impact multiple ecosystem services, and subsequently stakeholders,

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.
