Soil Aggregate Fungal Network Complexity Drives Soil Multifunctionality During Vegetation Restoration. [PDF]
MicroorganismsVegetation restoration is an effective strategy to improve the ecosystem function of the Loess Plateau. Soil microbiomes play a critical role in maintaining soil multifunctionality (SMF). However, the role of aggregate-scale microbial communities and interactions in regulating SMF during vegetation restoration remains poorly understood.

Modelling of Soil Multifunctionality Across Europe [PDF]
Soil Use and ManagementABSTRACT Soils sustain a number of functions playing a key role in ecosystem functioning and providing a multitude of services to human society. While it is acknowledged that all soils are multifunctional, there is, to date, limited knowledge on how the supply of soil functions and their combination differ spatially with land use type,

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.

A polyocular framework for research on multifunctional farming and rural development [PDF]
, 2008 The paradox of multifunctionality is that, on the one hand, the specialized functionalities of agriculture only arise because of the functional differentiation of social systems and scientific disciplines and, on the other hand, multifunctionality can ...

Role of soil multifunctionality in sustainable development [PDF]
Soil and Water Research, 2010 Each society wishes to create favourable living conditions for its members. Life quality criteria are formulated in different ways by various societies or individuals, depending on the given geographical and socio-economic conditions, living standards; national, ethnical, and religious traditions; history, policy; age, sex, educational level, position ...

The life of soils: Integrating the who and how of multifunctionality
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2022 Capturing the complexity of soil life for soil quality assessments is one of the most challenging paradoxes of contemporary soil science. Soil biota perform a plethora of processes that are fundamental to soil quality. As the concept of soil quality developed, so have the attempts to integrate soil biological measurements into monitoring schemes from ...

Biocrust diversity enhances dryland saline soil multifunctionality [PDF]
Land Degradation & Development, 2022 AbstractBiocrusts are multifaceted communities including mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria that are crucial for sustaining soil functions in drylands. Most studies on biocrust functions to date have focused on biocrust cover and development, largely in non‐saline soils, and we know very little about the importance of biocrust diversity for maintaining
