Getting the message right on nature‐based solutions to climate change
Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS)—solutions to societal challenges that involve
working with nature—have recently gained popularity as an integrated approach that can …

Novel disturbance regimes and ecological responses
Many natural disturbances have a strong climate forcing, and concern is rising about how
ecosystems will respond to disturbance regimes to which they are not adapted. Novelty can …

Soil multitrophic network complexity enhances the link between biodiversity and multifunctionality in agricultural systems
Belowground biodiversity supports multiple ecosystem functions and services that humans
rely on. However, there is a dearth of studies exploring the determinants of the biodiversity …

Fungal-bacterial diversity and microbiome complexity predict ecosystem functioning
The soil microbiome is highly diverse and comprises up to one quarter of Earth's diversity.
Yet, how such a diverse and functionally complex microbiome influences ecosystem …

Do investors care about biodiversity?
This article introduces a new measure of a firm's negative impact on biodiversity, the
corporate biodiversity footprint (CBF), and studies whether it is priced in an international …

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

Expert perspectives on global biodiversity loss and its drivers and impacts on people
Despite substantial progress in understanding global biodiversity loss, major taxonomic and
geographic knowledge gaps remain. Decision makers often rely on expert judgement to fill …

Biodiversity promotes ecosystem functioning despite environmental change
Three decades of research have demonstrated that biodiversity can promote the functioning
of ecosystems. Yet, it is unclear whether the positive effects of biodiversity on ecosystem …

Species richness stabilizes productivity via asynchrony and drought-tolerance diversity in a large-scale tree biodiversity experiment
Extreme climatic events threaten forests and their climate mitigation potential globally.
Understanding the drivers promoting ecosystem stability is therefore considered crucial for …

Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in naturally assembled communities
F van der Plas - Biological Reviews, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Approximately 25 years ago, ecologists became increasingly interested in the question of
whether ongoing biodiversity loss matters for the functioning of ecosystems. As such, a new …
