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 ...

Measuring ecosystem multifunctionality across scales
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 Multifunctionality refers to the capacity of an area to supply multiple ecosystem functions or services. While many conceptual and methodological advances have focused on defining and quantifying multifunctionality, the challenge of dealing with cross ...

Agriculture’s ‘multifunctionality’ and the WTO [PDF]
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2000 Are the agricultural policy reforms embodied in the Uruguay Round consistent with meeting domestic policy objectives such as providing adequate food security, environmental protection and viability of rural areas? This article examines the claim that agriculture deserves more price support and import protection than other sectors because of the non ...

Reconstructing multifunctionality [PDF]
Theoretical Linguistics, 2012 In this article, the author comments on the views of author Sandra Chung on multifunctionality in Chamorro. She argues that multifunctionality can be understood as a phenomenon distinct from conversion as well as from zero-coded derivation from a common root.

Biocomposites: Their multifunctionality
International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2010 During the last decade, tissue engineering has shown a considerable promise in providing more viable alternatives to surgical procedures for harvested tissues, implants and prostheses. Due to the fast development on nano- and biomaterial technologies, it is now possible for doctors to use patients' cells to repair orthopaedic defects such as focal ...
