Discontinuity in the responses of ecosystem processes and multifunctionality to altered soil community composition [PDF]

, 2014
Ecosystem management policies increasingly emphasize provision of multiple, as opposed to single, ecosystem services. Management for such "multifunctionality" has stimulated research into the role that biodiversity plays in providing desired rates of ...

The photosynthetic traits of dominant species drive the multifunctionality of Liaodong oak (Quercus wutaishanica) communities in northern China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Ecosystem multifunctionality means that the ecosystem has the ability to provide multiple functions simultaneously. The study of the ecosystem multifunctionality provides an important basis for the understanding of the ecosystem function and management ...

Functional group richness increases multifunctionality in intensively managed grasslands

Grassland Research, 2023
Background Agricultural yields have increased continuously over the last few decades. However, a focus solely on production can harm the environment.

Plant diversity mediates the response of ecosystem multifunctionality to climate factor in Eastern Eurasian Steppe

Global Ecology and Conservation
Climate factors can impact the multifunctionality of steppe ecosystem by altering plant diversity. The pivotal role of diversity in mediating these effects is of paramount importance. Given that various facets of plant diversity exhibit diverse responses

Neuromorphic Electronics for Intelligence Everywhere: Emerging Devices, Flexible Platforms, and Scalable System Architectures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The perspective presents an integrated view of neuromorphic technologies, from device physics to real‐time applicability, while highlighting the necessity of full‐stack co‐optimization. By outlining practical hardware‐level strategies to exploit device behavior and mitigate non‐idealities, it shows pathways for building efficient, scalable, and ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Functional diversity enhances the resistance of ecosystem multifunctionality to aridity in Mediterranean drylands [PDF]

, 2015
International audience- We used a functional trait-based approach to assess the impacts of aridity and shrub encroachment on the functional structure of Mediterranean dryland communities (functional diversity (FD) and community-weighted mean trait values

Differential aridity-induced variations in ecosystem multifunctionality between Iberian Pinus and Quercus Mediterranean forests

Ecological Indicators
Forests deliver multiple ecosystem functions and services (i.e. multifunctionality) of great importance to society. However, such multifunctionality capacity is threatened by global warming, especially in Mediterranean forests, which are at high risk of ...

Dominance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is key for Mongolian steppe management under livestock grazing, as indicated by ecosystem multifunctionality

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Livestock grazing of drylands supports millions of livelihoods worldwide; however, overgrazing causes severe biodiversity loss and degrades ecosystem functions.
