Climate change and cropland management compromise soil integrity and multifunctionality
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Soils provide essential ecosystem functions that are threatened by climate change and intensified land use. We explore how climate and land use impact multiple soil function simultaneously, employing two datasets: (1) observational – 456 samples from the

Multifunctionality in dialogue
Computer Speech & Language, 2011 This paper studies the multifunctionality of dialogue utterances, i.e., the phenomenon that utterances in dialogue often have more than one communicative function. It is argued that this phenomenon can be explained by analyzing th participation in dialogue as involving the performance of several types of activity in parallel, relating to different ...
