Grassland degradation alters plant and soil biodiversity–multifunctionality relationships

Nature Plants
Biodiversity is known to promote ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF), but how grassland degradation influences the relationship between biodiversity and EMF remains unclear. Here, using paired observations at 44 sites (a total of 792 sampling quadrats) along a 2,600 km transect, we test how moderate grassland degradation influences 20 surrogates of ...
