Grasslands are under severe threat from ongoing degradation, undermining their capacity to
support biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being. Yet, grasslands are largely …

While the positive relationship between plant biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF)
is well established, the extent to which this is mediated via belowground microbial …

Plant–soil feedback (PSF) and diversity–productivity relationships are important research
fields to study drivers and consequences of changes in plant biodiversity. While studies …

Remote sensing of vegetation phenology has long been used to characterize ecosystem
functions and responses to climate at spatial and temporal scales unfeasible to field surveys …

Social–ecological networks (SENs) represent the complex relationships between ecological
and social systems and are a useful tool for analyzing and managing ecosystem services …

Concern about the functional consequences of unprecedented loss in biodiversity has
prompted biodiversity–ecosystem functioning (BEF) research to become one of the most …

A large body of research shows that biodiversity loss can reduce ecosystem functioning.
However, much of the evidence for this relationship is drawn from biodiversity–ecosystem …

Although decades of research suggest that higher species richness improves ecosystem
functioning and stability, planted forests are predominantly monocultures. To determine …

Experiments showed that biodiversity increases grassland productivity and nutrient
exploitation, potentially reducing fertiliser needs. Enhancing biodiversity could improve P …

The biotic mechanisms underlying ecosystem functioning and stability have been
extensively—but separately—explored in the literature, making it difficult to understand the …
